Happy hour this Wednesday from 6-8 at Baileys, please RSVP to Carol if you have not already.
I am starting to put together what will be our first annual vender/tech fair for January. It will be held at the Black Rock Center, there will be presentations by some of our tech providers (MRIS…), an opportunity for our vendors to have a table, open to all agents not just our office and lunch will be served. I would very much welcome any input you might have for tech/vender that you would like to see there.
Enjoy the coffee,
Joe

BE ALL THAT THEY CAN BE?
On an A&E Biography segment, Oprah Winfrey was being interviewed. She was asked whether she considered all the competing talk shows to be a threat to her own daytime show. She answered with a personal story about running in a marathon.
It seems Oprah had always had a dream of running in a marathon. She trained for two years to get ready, and she ran her marathon. Oprah explained that, to her, competition was like that marathon. As long as she was hitting her stride with her goal of winning in clear focus, there was no time to consider the competition. She added that just turning her head backward to see how close competing runners were to her position was enough to rob her of energy needed to win the race.
Oprah's view of the competition brought to mind the U.S. Army recruiting slogan: "Be all that you can be!" Note that it doesn't say, "Be all that THEY can be!" Even when your competition has a recognizable face, why would you want to be them? If you want to improve yourself, speed up your achievements, or earn more money, why not just better your own time? Comparing yourself to others is a waste of precious time and energy.
Realizing your dreams requires a roadmap. First, you decide on a destination - your dream. Next, you choose a route. For Oprah, that involved hiring a personal trainer, improving her aerobic capacity, and adding strength training to her daily regimen. It also helps to identify some stops or landmarks along the way to help you measure your progress. Finally, you apply all your energy to running the race - and achieving your dream.
Oprah's dream was to run a marathon. What's yours?
