What Will America Do in the Aftermath of the Orlando Massacre?

It's that wonderful time of year again. Fun in the sun for the next three months. A few more days and we will officially enter into the summertime. June is always a great place for us to pause and do a major review of where we are in our businesses here at DS Woodard Consulting . I like to encourage you to do it at the same time every year because it then becomes automatic. Those who have followed me for a few years know that I do my best to maintain consistency in the message given to all who care to listen. Our aim on this blog is generational wealth in our finances, our health, and our relationships.

I started this post a few days ago and it has a beautiful picture of a beach in Florida, not Orlando, but Florida where today hatred has once again raised its persistent head. I want to say that I'm not sure what the country can do to curtail the violence. It appears that those who choose to take lives can easily get whatever tools are necessary for them to carry it out. I would like to show a brief video from our President Obama.

America has taken for so long from others and now in our generation the price is being levied. It is so unfortunate that those who came before us left this as a legacy this has been hundreds of years in the making, however God, or whatever you call your higher power is not mocked, we reap what we sow. This is America's real history and you can check the records if you don't believe me. This truly started with the Native American Indian, then Africans, who are now considered Black people, who are all still treated as second class citizens in our own country, right along with the races that now consider America their home. I just wanted to get that out and I hope no one is offended, but the bible says that the truth shall set you free.

I will post a follow up with some ideas on what you should do to make sure that you are moving in the right direction at this mid-year point with your business later in the week.

Prayers are in order for all of the innocent lives lost on this day in the U.S.A.

Mournfully,

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...
