Greetings and Salutations,
Once again it's the incredible...Damn Newsletter!!!
Well It's Halloween which can only mean one thing...millions of kids across the country will bang on doors expecting, begging and even demanding candy and on this night we're supposed to give it to them. Why should my daughter be any different??? So my little Pumpkin Patch Princess (I was hoping she would be Yoda but it fell through) will be the essence of adorable...hey, that's catchy...lol. Maybe next year she can be an Ewok (From Return of the Jedi)...co-parent discussion later?! Lol. Oh P.S. Don't sent you kids to my house I do not have candy and will ignore the door if you knock...that's how I Smurf!!!
This is time of the year when I start planning for next year. Setting up goals for each client and project and working on a Plan of Action to get us there. It's not the most exciting part of the year but the future gets me excited.
Which brings me to my Shout Out of the Week. This week's shout out goes to "the Damn Stable". The group of people I am working with to make history. (Okay, the Damn Stable may sound a little cheesy but it popped in my head and let's face it...I'm a litle cheesy...lol.) The members in this soon to be legendary click are IDLE of the Peach (next summer is your summer), I.B. (We're going to make history, homey), Shon (a potential triple threat in the making), Soufpaw (I haven't forgotten you...I'm ready when your ready homey), and Mercedes ( I lumped you in here because we have so many things to create...I come up with new ideas everyday...don't give up on me) I just want you all to know that the "Damn Staff" (C'mon you knew it was coming) is working tirelessly to get you guy where you need to be...on top!!! (Maybe next time I'll shout out the staff)
When I was in college, there was a Dean of Student Affairs there by the name of Charles McDonald (or as we called him Charlie Mac) who gave me some of the greatest advice ever. Okay, technically he didn't give it to me. I happen to be in his office as he was getting into someone's behind about not being organized. But I will never forget when he ended the barage with, "Proper Plannng Prevents Piss Poor Performance". After I got over the initial shock that a school administrator said the word piss, I started to think what a clever way to preach the importance of planning. Although common sense would dictate this to be a "duh" moment, we as individuals simply forget that planning is as essential to the biggest of projects to the smallest of task. You have to plan for anything you want out of life. A vacation, a career path, even what you're having for lunch. The part of planning what may be left out is the contingency plan. You can't just device a scheme and not believe that something will come up and interfere with your plan. (and if you are planning like that then you are not planning!!!) Sit down and come up with a strategy. If you have trouble planning stuff go to friends that will help you brainstorm. Write down ideas and wait some time and come back to them to see if that plan can hold up. Make an effort! Now planning won't guarantee you success but I can guarantee if you don't plan, you will fail...
Those are just my thoughts...right or wrong...just what I was feeling at the time!!!
