Do You Have What it Takes? Yes You Do.


Hey guys, its April wow, this year is moving fast.  I love 2016 its an even number year, technology makes it so much more fun, for most of us. I'm full of energy and optimism.  I have completed quite a few of my projects for this year and I'm picking up several new ones.

  I'm a big fan of "The Voice." I love this season, the talent is phenomenal. I bring this up to share with you that you should push for your dreams, goals, and ideas.
The reason I love it so much is I cry every time I hear the contestants sing. Why? Because they are attempting to live their dreams, they have broken through the wall of fear and they don't care what anyone thinks, they are going for it and are being successful.  I can sense their passion and it gives me tears of joy.

What is it that you want to create, but don't for fear it might not work? I spoke with my mentor recently and he said even he has fear. We all do, the only difference is that some of us push through the invisible wall of fear where we are greeted with success, not failure.  It is only on the other side of fear that we are greeted with this success. Once you decide to allow yourself to live whatever dream you have for your life then it will be revealed to you in the moment continuously.

Another show that I love is "American Idol."  I remember when it first came out and I wanted to go on and perform, but I was still scared.  I watched the finale season and I felt that same feeling of optimism and of dreams never lived.  I could not get past the fear of competing on a world stage. I would hate to be told no, but I never gave myself the opportunity to be told yes either.

Isn't that funny? Not really, but this is what we do, we say oh here's this thing I want to do, then we say well wait do I have permission to do this thing?  Then we ask everyone we know should I do this thing, and they say no you can't do that thing. So you don't do the thing, then the time ticks on, moments, days, weeks, months, years, decades, and if your lucky centuries, but what have you done?

As I was writing this post, I went to Facebook to check something and saw a post about Daisy Lewellyn who was on a show I watched called "Blood, Sweat, and Heels" about a group of young black women who were all striving to live their dreams of being successful in New York City and the world.  Daisy was diagnosed with Cancer and today she passed on to a new place at the age of 36.  How many days are you going to let go by without pushing and giving it all you have?  There is no tomorrow. Do it today!! 

 

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...

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...
