Time to Make it Happen

I am sure you are considering whether or not I’ve actually gone off my rocker. Here it is the end of a week, and I’m talking about getting excited and making things happen. I’m sure somebody is trying to find the phone number so they can call Mrs. Balof and ask her to please take my temperature.

I would like to assure everyone that I’m fine, and yes, I do believe it is time to get excited. We have two months left this year, and at the end of each month, there will be parties and revelry. I believe in parties and revelry, they are a positive influence on the soul. However, it gives us little time to do great and beautiful things.

If you have ideas and new items that you want to share with others, now is the time to do it. Today is the first of the month. A brand new calendar for thirty days. For the rest of the year, we only have sixty-one. If we want it, starting now, we have a new way and a new day. Think of all the positive actions you could take with this.

Remember, if your first thought is going back into bed and pulling the covers, once the day is over and you’ve done great things, you can do so. Until you have gotten something underway, it is time to figure out what you’re going to do and how you’re going to complete that mission.

It would be wrong for me to tell you how you had to do something because this is your dream. Look at me as the cheerleader urging you on, encouraging you to find your path and take it. There are plenty of things that could come up and try to deter you from your work, and some of them are important. However, please don’t let the minutia get between you and your victory.

Please do not think that I am pushing you out the door towards a day’s work and then trying to sneak back to the La-Z-Boy lounger myself. I have two books, a new style of fishing lure, and a do-it-yourself planner system I want to have developed and in the field by the end of the month.  Mean old master sergeant? I don’t even cut myself any slack. Please check up on me from time to time and ask me how my work is going.

Thanks for being with me today. I hope to be with you again soon.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force.
