Believe it or not this is my first Blog ever! I’ve been a speaker, a mentor, an author and a thought leader for a few years now, but I have never felt the desire to become a blogger. Mainly because I am not a fan of “motivational banter”. I love to motivate but the entrepreneurial community and business owners are more sophisticated then we give ourselves credit for. We are motivated. That’s why we are in business. People are tired of hearing “you can do it”. We are doing it.

We now want to learn HOW we can do it BETTER. I no longer subscribe to motivation. I am now a proponent of EDUCATION. Yes, discipline, activity, strategy, focus and determination are critical to being successful. But, at this stage, if I need to motivate someone to display those characteristics, well you don’t want it. It is as simple as that.

Going forward, I hope I will be able to motivate you by educating you. There are so many things that I love to research, explore and discuss. I hope that me sharing ideas and experiences will motivate and enlighten you. I am no where near an expert in life. But I’ve been told that I have a unique perspective and that I should share it with more people. Well, here I am. Sharing it with YOU.

The question is, what will you share with me? I love learning even more than I love teaching. No one can make it on their own. What do you think about the term, “self-made” ? Me personally, I think it is an oxymoron. I believe it’s not humanly possible to become successful with no help from anyone else. Especially when a popular and highly recommended part of the formula to success is hiring a mentor. Get it? We must learn from each other.
