Do you have patience to make it?

Good morning. We are in a world wind of business, marketing, presentations,proposals,and writing this month. This is a good thing. The reason we want to discuss focus and patience is that while you are on your journey to the dream there will be distractions and they will look real or important. Don't get sidetracked.

If you don't currently practice meditation now would be a good time to start. We recently had dis-ease diagnosis and this was a big distraction at first, then we realized this is an opportunity to once again help others, while healing ourselves. After mediating and getting focused another business venture presented itself.
You must maintain a good place mentally and physically to enjoy your life and to see your project to fruition. We now have a new diet and have added swimming 3 days per week to our lifestyle. Writing can do this to you since you sit behind a computer for hours and snack, and drink loads of coffee.

The assignment for this week is for you to begin hand writing your business plan. Write out your executive summary, your mission statement and your product description. None of this needs to be perfect so don't get stressed out. This is an exercise to help you focus. Remember that you want to create this document that you would need to get an investor or a lender to get your business off to a good start. If you don't need any money to start your business that's great, but as you grow you may want to expand your business so this will help.

Don't rush to complete this exercise. Act as if you are going to get a loan or an investor to fund your business based on what you are writing.

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...
