Learn these 5 things before it's too Late

Hello everyone how are you this wonderful Saturday?
September is moving at a steady pace, week one is done and fall is near. I wanted to share a great idea I found this weekend and I know that you will find it so useful.

This is a journey, and as we move steadily along we will often live a repetitive and boring life. It is so easy to get caught up in what is expected of us and then we get to our final years usually after our 60th birthday and find that we have limited time and we have not created anything we wanted to do. We find ourselves now too tired and too stuck in our own ways to make any changes that would be considered ambitious.

Ninety-five percent of people will get to their retirement age, file for the government social security and will then want to kill themselves, the (stipend) they give you after years of work does not keep up with the cost of living so it is on the low end a couple of hundred a month up to just under $2,000. You can call or visit the Social Security Administration and get a statement of how much you have made all of your working years and the estimate of what your check will be upon the age of retirement, I think it's 62 but I'm not sure.

The majority of people live on 110% of what they earn from their first job as a teenager or young adult right through retirement so for at least 30 years and for some it can be even longer they spend more than they make so they don't plan for inflation, marriage, children, etc.

I recently spoke with a friend who is about 8 years away from her retirement with the federal government, and is well into her forty's if not early fifty's and she told me she is not prepared. She told me she could not live the lifestyle she has become accustomed to on her retirement and her lack of savings. She has no plan.

Don't let this be you.

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.
