Good evening All; My goal of this blog is to remind us all that we have strengths and that we should use these strengths not only to help our businesses but to help others as well.

Once the day is done it is gone. To me we can all have an impact each day. It does not mean that we have to climb the highest mountain or kiss 100 babies. It can be simple things like help your food pantry with doing a food drive. It can be as simple as offering to give a ride to an elderly perso...

Today I once again got myself doing what we all do running crazy in our lives. Well then I had another person in the firm come to me and say HEY ED I made 27 Outgoing calls today. He was thrilled and I was thrilled for him. He thanked me and told me that I had helped inspire him to make the effor...
