Are you getting it done?

Today is the beginning of the second quarter of 2013. We have been working with the editors, publishers on Amazon, and the management team here at DSWoodard Consulting to meet the April 10th release date for our 1st e-book, Y.O.L.O. This is a series, so the first part is the beginning. We are getting it done, but it is like everything else in our lives. It takes time and although it is our purpose to help others design the life they want, we can lose track of where we are going and how long it's taking.

I must admit that this new endeavor has opened our eyes to more possibilities than we had imagined. We are so excited to share what we have put together that it is hard to keep it to ourselves. We are not perfect, but we want it to be.

As you embrace the beginning of spring and the beauty that it brings with the blossoms and the green grass and the leaves turning green, the birds singing like there is not a care in the world, don't get faked out. Make sure you are measuring where you are in relation to the goals you set for 2013. How did you do financially and personally for the first three months of this year?


Don't get me wrong. I was getting on the beltway the other day and I saw one tree with it's white blossoms beginning to appear and it made me smile, it was a beautiful reminder of the coming spring season. The DC metro area can be one of the most beautiful places to be when the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom.

We still can't get faked out.
Once you set your goals January 1st, you have to now nurture those goals. You must read books, take classes, and attend self development seminars to grow into who you said you want to be by December 31,2013. When others are watching the latest episode of the newest reality show, you must dictate to your mind what it is you want it to focus on daily, weekly,monthly and yearly.

Are you getting it done? What new book have you read since January 1st? What classes have you taken or what seminar or workshop have you attended? It's April already and you can best believe it will be December 31st in a minute and you'll be singing "Auld Lang Syne," which means, The times gone past, the good old days.

If things look for you and your family the same as they did last year, you might not feel as good as the Scottish did when they began that tradition.

I talk with hundreds of people daily and I'm not writing this just because,but there are thousands of people who can not provide for their families the lifestyle they prefer and they continue to do the same thing day after day month after month and year after year. I spoke with a client just yesterday, who was so frustrated about his job and his boss and his inability to provide for his family. I told him point blank, leave the job, it's not getting better.(Not quit without a plan,he has another job offer, I wanted to qualify that) His reply was I'm gonna give it one more month. He's been there for seven months. I told him it is what it is.

Jim Rohn said it best, "For things to change, you have to change. Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better." You have to develop yourself and then implement a plan. For those who are interested we are launching the e-book series on April 10th. The book is so that you can have something tangible of value to refer back to, when you get stuck or don't know what you should be doing to design and achieve your goals. It is our pleasure to serve those who are ready.

To your success,
DS Woodard

How Do You Spell Love? Time !

  Good Morning High Achievers!  The holiday season is here and spending time is so important especially now.  Happiness is an inside job.  The main reason for being great and creating a legacy is so that you leave great memories and traditions to pass from generation to generation.   This year my family and I began a new tradition for what others call Thanksgiving.  We haven't celebrated in a few years, since finding out that what we thought was the reason was not true, but we still continued to gather, now we have decided that what we would like to do is travel for this holiday, since the rest of society is closed at the same time.   As a business owner and a person who works in corporate America I've found that we can get so caught up in the everyday hustle and bustle routine that we forget to pause, relax and enjoy the fun parts in life.  We don't know how much time we have and it doesn't matter what our age is.  These are my grandchildren at the pool in Miami on Tha

How to get Government Contracts, Quickly.

 Great Evening High Achievers!!  There are 3 days left in this last quarter of 2023.  We made it, and we are going to be even greater in 2024.  This was a trying and a wonderful year for our business.  We have cried and laughed as we learned from trial and error how to get things done.  There are more lessons to learn and more opportunities to take advantage of.  I want to share with you a few things about getting your business out of the rat race and into the government contracting place.   Do you know what M.B.E.'s, W.B.E.'s, V.B.E.'s, D.B.E.'s, and A.C.D.B.E's are?  No this is not Sesame Street.  These letters stand for Minority Business Entity, Women Business Entity, Disadvantaged Business Entity, and Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Entity.  This is how the government classifies different types of businesses for their sponsored programs.  The statistics for the amount of contracts awarded to these entities are very low.  Many business owners have no id
