Being a Champion takes Heart

Good morning.  It seems that this month has moved so quickly.  We are a week away from Thanksgiving.  This is a great time of year for many families.  During the holidays many people treat each other kinder and are more giving to those who are less fortunate. 

 We hope that you have thought of those who have less and remember to give to them in any way that you are able.  We will be sending our contribution to The Community of Hope and their adopt-a-family program.  Be a champion for someone this holiday season.

Champion has many definitions.  One is a noun; a person who fights for or defends any person or cause.  The other is the verb tense which means action; to champion, defend or support, a cause or person.  They mean the same thing and the definition sounds the same. One is being and the other is doing.   Muhammad Ali is a champion, his title he earned is The Heavy Weight Champion of the World, watch this 4 minute video to get a perspective on what that takes. 
Muhammad Ali defended his title.  What are you willing to champion?  Everyday is a new opportunity to be a champion, yet we see so many people, individuals, organizations, and families that are not championing anything.  They have conceded to defeat on everything.    If you watched the above video you will see how the opponents came after Ali.  They were in his face, they were intent on defeating him, yet he knew that within him he was a champion and would not except anything less than to be "The Greatest" he could be.

  What we want you to take from this video is what Ali did.  Let's say that his opponents are your life.  They are swinging at your face, they are landing some punches, they are charging at you continuously and you are scared, but you do what Ali did, you fight back, you take the punches and you give more punches that are harder than the ones you receive.  You learn some fancy foot work to get past the challenges facing you.  You develop yourself to a champions level of being.  Notice we said you do.  You must take action and develop yourself personally and professionally every single day and never quit. 

Watch this last video that we use every single day as our motivation for achievement, it is very powerful.
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...
