Never Quit on Your Dreams

Good afternoon, we trust that things are going well for you this third month of the year.  It has been a very busy time for us.  We have taken on new clients and have even had to release some clients.  This is the nature of being a freelance writing business and trainer.  We simply have to keep moving forward and trust that things will continue to get better.


This is the third month of this new year and the time keeps moving.  When you decided to become more this year than you were last year did you also decide to manage the bumps in the road that would appear from nowhere?  This last month in the D.C. metro area we have had an excessive amount of snow, and ice.  This always leads to pot holes in the road. 

 At times you are driving along the same routes you usually take and out of nowhere you come across a large pot hole in the road.  It wasn't there last week so by the time you notice it your speed is too fast to adjust and you run right over it.  You hear and feel the boom of it, and there is nothing you can do about it.  This can happen several times  in a day as you are driving your normal routes unaware of the pot holes, especially if it's night time and you can't see them.  

What can you do?  You will usually make an adjustment to your driving route.  You will remember where you hit the pot hole last time you drove that route and get in another lane.  Eventually the city or state will fix the pot hole, but until you know that it has been fixed you will make the adjustment mentally yourself,.

This is what you must do when things come up that you had not planned while on the path you set for this year's 2014 goals.  Let's say you finally were offered the new position, client or business venture that you knew you were perfect for and that position gave you the financial stability that you had been seeking for the last two years.  

 You are offered the position and then began to invest in the position and now started planning the rest of your year or life around that opportunity.  You are now three weeks in and the bottom falls out or as the analogy above states, you hit a pot hole.  You are suddenly told you are not needed due to some office politics or the position is being cut due to budgeting or the company decided to go with a competitor that under bid you.  

It is a shocker, yet if you have been developing yourself personally, through books, seminars, and working with your mentor, you are equipped to handle it.  You don't fall apart, you don't loose your cool, you see this the way it is and know that a better opportunity has made it's way to you.  You know that you have attracted a more prosperous, less stressful situation to you.  The challenge is to know this without having the manifested opportunity in that moment.

Life is to be lived strategically, and as you gain wisdom it gets better and more enjoyable. You must be like the great inventor Thomas Edison.  " I have not failed 10,000 times, I have not failed once.  I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work, I will find the way that will work."  This has to be your thinking and success is what the end result will be.

  Iterate is quality arrived by repetition.  Iteration is repeating a process with the aim of approaching the desired goal, target or result.  So you must, iterate (repeat or continue) until the desired result is accomplished   Never quit on your dreams, goals, or desires. 

To Your Success,

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...

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...

You Have to Know When it's Time !
