A good portion of success is based on the quality of your network.

Networking offers numerous benefits that are key to your success. It provides professional opportunities such as job leads, partnerships, and mentorship. Networking allows knowledge sharing and exposure to diverse perspectives, aiding personal growth. It also grants access to valuable resources, including industry events and influential contacts.

Additionally, it provides support, advice, and long-term relationships. Networking increases visibility, leading to opportunities and recognition. Overall, networking is crucial for career growth, personal development, and success in today's professional landscape.

If you want to be successful, be sure to add already successful people to your network. Birds of the same feather, usually flock together. 😉

Life is too short to just be mundane.

I get there are roadblocks to overcome, but they are just that. A challenge to be tackled and an opportunity to grow and be more than you were before.

I have said it before, if you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten.

Start with something small. Do a little more every day. You will be amazed at how quickly you can make your dreams a reality. It just takes a goal and being consistent every day.

Remember, no one can change your life. Only you have the power to do choose.

Happy Father's day! May your day be blessed.

Do what you have always done and you will get what you have always gotten.

This is what happens when you stay comfortable. If you want something different in life, you have to get uncomfortable and be willing to overcome the hard stuff. When you do, the rewards are far greater than you realize.

Having a solid vision for your long and short term goals will help build and keep your enthusiasm as you will know why you're doing this.

Either get busy living, or get busy dying. (Andy Dufresne - Shawshank Redemption)

These are great words to live by as it’s really that simple. We are not immortals, not in this life anyway. Our days are numbered. Don’t put off things for tomorrow that you can do today because today may never come.

Mondays aren’t that bad, unless you make them. Look at it as a fresh start to a brand new week.

I hope this message finds you well.

Please take some time this Memorial weekend to honor and remember all the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles and friends who gave their lives, defending and protecting the freedoms we take for granted. We owe so much more to them than just remembrance for theirs was the greatest sacrifice.

Thank you to all those fallen soldiers and those who go willingly to serve and protect.

Time is a valuable resource that cannot be refunded once spent.

Therefore, it is essential to use it with intention and purpose. Life is a precious gift, and we never know how much of it we have left. Instead of merely dreaming and wishing for a different life, we must take intentional and consistent daily action towards achieving our goals.

Here are some time-saving tips that will help:
- Keep a journal for at least two weeks to track how you allocate your time and energy. By examining your behavior patterns and identifying your time-consuming activities, you can make adjustments to get closer to your desired objectives.
- Keep a detailed log of all your activities to gain a precise understanding of your routines and habits.
- Make a calendar and prioritize your daily tasks based on your roles and goals. Ask yourself, "what is the best use of my time today?" and commit to completing those tasks within a specific timeframe. By time-blocking and making commitments to yourself, you can ensure that you stay focused and accomplish your goals.

In summary, time is precious, and we must use it wisely. By being intentional with our time and making adjustments to our routines, we can achieve our desired objectives and live a fulfilling life.

I hope you all have been having a great week. My week hasn't been the best, or that's just one way to look at it.

My internet service has been pretty much non-operational for most of the week, making doing any of my work very challenging.

The silver lining here is I am testing out how well my 4G mobile hotspot works, which has not been the best. But I don't think this is an accurate test.

The lesson here is, we all have bad weeks. But it's how you approach it that makes the difference.

Being negative about it won't improve your situation.

Maintaining a positive attitude, using a little creativity and stepping outside your comfort zone all help to improve your situation and you never know what fresh or new opportunity you find along the way.

So when life throws you a bunch of lemons, don't get all mad. Just make some lemonade and be mindful of your situation.

DREAM BIG. START SMALL, BUT MOST OF ALL, START
~ SIMON SINEK

These are some wise words. The hardest part of anything is just getting it started.

I will say from personal experience, I have spent years dreaming but never achieved my dreams because I didn't start working on them.

If your in this group, I know you have at least one big dream. I will tell you from experience, don't wait until you have all the answers to start.

Someone once told me that you don't need to know the whole staircase. Just focus on the step ahead of you.

Happy Monday and hope you all have a great week!

Today marks the first day of spring. This is also an opportunity for us to reflect.

As humans, we can learn a lot from the changes in the seasons.

Here are a few examples:

ADAPTABILITY: The changing seasons teach us to adapt to new conditions. Just like our animal neighbors, we too must learn to adapt to changes in our environment.

IMPERMANENCE: The changing seasons remind us that everything in life is impermanent. Just as the leaves fall from the trees in autumn, things in our own lives will come and go.

RENEWAL: The arrival of spring brings with it a sense of renewal and rejuvenation. It reminds us that even after a long, dark winter, there is always the promise of new growth and new beginnings.

BALANCE: The changing of the seasons reminds us of the importance of balance in our lives. Just as the seasons balance each other out, we too must strive for balance in our work, relationships, and personal lives.

GRATITUDE: The changing seasons can teach us to be grateful for what we have. In the winter, we appreciate the warmth of our homes and the comfort of our families, while in the summer, we are grateful for the sunshine and the opportunity to spend time outdoors.

The changing seasons can serve as a powerful reminder of the natural cycles of life and the importance of being mindful and present in the moment.

FAILURE IS PART OF THE PATH TO SUCCESS

Why do we think fail or failure is something bad? Probably because we associate it with an experience in school when we failed a test and the reaction we got from those around us. Was failing the test bad? Well, yes. It means you didn’t study enough or it’s a subject you struggled with. Did that make you a failure? Only if you didn’t learn & grow from that experience. The key is LEARN & GROW.

The definition of FAIL is: be unsuccessful in achieving one’s goal. This simply means things didn’t work. So you learn why it didn’t work, grow from it and do things differently. Rinse and repeat until you find success. Failing is just an obstacle to overcome on your path to success. Like in school, it’s only a failure if you fall down, don’t learn and give up. DON’T GIVE UP!

YOU’RE AMAZING - DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENTLY

It doesn’t matter how old or young you are or if you're in good health or disabled. Doesn’t matter if you're big or small or what your gender is. Doesn’t matter how rich or poor or how smart or uneducated you are. Doesn’t matter what color your skin is either because we are all human beings. Which only means:

"YOU ARE CAPABLE OF GREATNESS AND DOING AMAZING THINGS."

Ignore anyone who tries to tell you otherwise.
