Focus is a Full-time Job

Good morning, we trust everyone enjoyed the Memorial Day Holiday week-end. It was a great time for us and our families. We appreciate the time to have a choice to work or not. To all of our Men and Women serving our great country, voluntarily we salute you and we greatly appreciate you at D.S. Woodard Consulting.

This is a great day the beginning of the summer festivities, like going to the beach or the pool, taking family vacations. Creating memories of fun and the sun. This is also a great time to get focused and become disciplined to have a great life in the future.

Job is defined as 1.(a) Something that has to be done; (b)a task 2.(a) an undertaking requiring unusual exertion. (b)a specific duty, role or function. Work is defined as 1.Activity in which one exerts strength or faculties to do or perform something. 2. A sustained physical or mental effort to overcome obstacles and achieve an objective or result. There are actually many other definitions of these words; however we will use these for the purpose of this post.

Focus is a full-time job. Refer back to the definition of job above. If you are to achieve the goals you have set for this year you have to make it a job and then you have to do the work; see the above definition.

What are some of your mid-year goals? It will be June in a few days, and that is our mid-year point. If you are new to D.S. Woodard and our training you need to go back and view our January - May post to get an idea of what we are talking about, but for those who have been with us all year it's time to get busy.

Today is a great day to review your goals list from the beginning of the year, and if you need to make adjustments do that. If you have made progress then reward yourself. It is a challenge to be, do, and have everything you desire. That is why only 3% of the population ever achieve it. It takes those two things I defined above. You must learn to focus on the goals daily it must be a full-time job and you must work at it daily. We want to express this as vividly as we can, as you can see the word job and the word work do not mean the same thing, yet you need both to get to the objective you have set for this year and your life.

You can do it, keep up the good work, we believe in you. Focus everyday and you will succeed.

To your success,
D.S. Woodard

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 ar...

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 gra...

Are You Doing Too Much? How Do You Know?

From my I-Phone  Greetings High Achievers!! It is the middle of the summer season.  It has been such a hot summer, yet I still find time to get out and walk daily.  The photo to the left is of a flock of geese crossing the lake that we walk across.  I wanted to share this for two reasons, one it's beautiful and two every photo on the internet costs money.  I understand that people like to get paid, but there was a time I could get quality photos with a few clicks.  Well what's been going on in your business world?   I have been building a few things as usual.  Many times I think I'm doing too much.  Often I think I'm not doing enough.  As soon as I think that one of my business partners decides that they want to be so active and push the business along for five minutes, and then I'm on my own again.  Have you had times of  discouragement in your business endeavors?  I'm sure we all have.  This past year I have fo...
