Hello June: It's that Mid-Year Check up time again

Hello business leaders.  This is your middle of the year reminder to take an accounting of where you stand both financially and mentally in your endeavors.  Many are now in the happy glow of the beginning of the warm summer months. Don't get fooled as my mentor Jim Rohn would always say. 

Get your thoughts together today.  The summer is the worst time of the year, because it can lull you into a place of comfort.  Jim Rohn talked about the ant's philosophy, think winter in the summer or think negative when it's positive.  Summer is the middle of the year, but it's also where most business owners lose.  If sales are up or things are going well during the easy months, which is summer, what are you going to do in the fall and the winter?  That's why you have to have a plan and you can't wait until the time is upon you.  This first week of June is over so what have you learned from last winter, spring, fall and summer?  Have you made any adjustments? 

The way it works with the ants is that they often work as a team to make their lives comfortable, however as each individual they accomplish the goals they set for their colony.  We are each individual and often do need a team to accomplish our objectives, but if we allow that to keep us from moving forward time will continue to move along and life will continue to happen and seem to be in the way.  Start without the team as if the team will appear at the perfect moment.


Everything you do adds to your future life.  Contrary to your beliefs time is not on your side.  The gifts that you have to give to the world are unique and only you can develop them, nurture them and implement them.    You are ready and the world is waiting. 
True story, I have put off one of my business ideas for 16 years, and I can look in every other one of my journals and see each year how I was going to start it, and then the thing called life would have me put it aside and say oh, I'll get to it after I get this done or after I handle this thing. It is so scary to actually push aside the fear that you have and do what you know you should and can do.  It is currently being implemented and yes there are still so many things attempting to block its beginning.

 What can you do?

  • Visualize it daily.
  • Talk about it daily, even if it's to yourself.
  • Do one thing every day that gets it closer to becoming a reality.
That's all, it seems easy, yet there will always be some thing or person demanding your attention, it is up to you to draw the line in the sand and push yourself towards your dreams and goals.  I have several as most of us do, so don't limit yourself we are created in the image of something greater than a worker bee or "slave-being "so like Jim Rohn said it's all about your philosophy.

Do me a favor please, I would like to get a little more traction if you would be so kind and tweet this to your your followers, G+, Linked In, and or email. Thanks you are so kind.

To your success,
D.S.Woodard

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 grandchildren at the pool in Miami on Tha

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 are very low.  Many business owners have no id
