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 found a great new mentor that I would love to share with you all.  



David Goggins

   David Goggins is a powerful inspirational, motivational leader in the community.  I ignored his videos for months, based on the title which said, "F**k People."  One day my YouTube was on auto play and his video started playing and I was in another room.  As I listened to his story I was blown away.  This is not that video, but take a few minutes to get to know him.  He was so inspiring that I bought his book for my 23 year old son the same day, and he is now in my daily rotation of mental sharpening tools. 


Well this is the question again from the title, are you doing too much?  How do you know?
It's the mid-year check point, we must push ourselves beyond our limits that we think we have and create more than we have ever dreamed this year.  It's hard it's very hard, but we can do hard things to become better.  

To your Success,
D.S. Woodard

It's Go Time, the Last Quarter of the Year!

  Great afternoon High Achievers!  This has been a wonderfully exciting year.  I've had the chance to begin several new adventures in business ownership.  What are some of your fourth quarter goals? As a writer and a business owner and still working a job or two, life looks crazy on any given Sunday-Saturday.  That's right everyday is a challenge.  Growth is important.  Study your craft, there is always more to learn. We're just beginning a few new partnerships that are stretching our boundaries.   As you grow mentally, physically, and spiritually, the you that you used to be is completely different.  The way you think changes if you are continually expanding your book of knowledge.   This video is where we all as business owners and employees currently are, it's the fourth quarter of year 2023, our businesses management company sent us a reminder email that it's time to complete the final quarter IRS tax form 941, so in a few days the form is due no later than Oct

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
