Take Time to Chill and Regroup

We made it to February, those of us from the DC metro area know what I mean. It has been extremely cold here and once we get to February we start the count down to spring.  This is a meaningful month to many for multiple reasons. I will just say that time is an adversary that waits for no man, so today is the best time to reflect on the goals you set for your business and the actual things that you have created to date as we enter the second month of 2018.

I added this commercial for two reasons:

1. I thought it was so funny.
2. Imagine you are the richest person on the planet right now and you love what you do so much or you love your company that you built so much that you are engaged in a commercial even though you are not the face of your company and your having fun.

This has to be why you do what ever it is that you do. You must love what you do, the service that you provide or the product you offer in order to persevere when times are rough or when things don't go as you planned.

 In this day and time many people are under a lot of pressure and stress. I recently helped a loved one through a traumatic, stressful incident and I have learned of a close family member who is now experiencing the same issue, but because of completely different reasons. The thing that ties them together is stress. They both suffered from a tremendous amount of life pressures that overwhelmed them. That is the reason I made this post about chilling out.  We must continue to pursue our dream lives, but we must also remember that we can't enjoy the fruits of our labor if we are not here when they ripen.
Try to take time daily to listen to this video or something like it. Close your eyes or imagine you are there on the beach. If you hate the beach or are allergic to the sun then listen to one of the rain videos it will have the same affect.

The lesson today is two fold. You must take time and learn to slow down, relax, stop and smell the roses. Get out and take a walk, outside in nature is always the best, but if it's too cold or too hot then go to a large mall and walk it's perimeter a few times for at least an hour and thirty minutes 3 to 5 times a week from now on.   Then get back to work on your dreams, goals and desires.

 For my business owners who have yet to embrace the world wide web,  I know it is very scary, but you must become as much as you can. Your business must and shall be all it can. The Internet and social media are wonderful tools, to not only grow your presence across the globe, but to share your message with those who can learn from the success that you have experienced.


 Many of the older generations of business owners still in 2018 are fearful of the technology.  You don't have to be an expert in order to use it. You tube is one of the best tools in my opinion. You can learn to do just about everything by simply typing an inquiry into the You tube channel or into Google. You will find someone out of the billions of people online who has done any and everything you aspire to do or achieve.

The goal this week for you is to learn about a new social media tool that you don't currently use.  Set up an account using your business name and most of them are free, and use it for this month just to get the hang of how it works.

This article has a great list pick one and this one is also good I do have 3 of the accounts on this list, but I will be trying 2 or more from each list. This is your assignment for your business growth to be implemented this month.


To your success,

D.S. Woodard

Running A Business is Hard Work!

  Good Morning High Achievers!!  We are at the mid-point of this year 2023.  When I say running a business is hard, I mean that with everything I know.  This year we've had so many changes.  We've acquired a new business to increase our media presence and it comes with so many new components.  New lessons to learn, new systems to be created, etc.  The D.S. WOODARD brand is expanding, we are still a baby among industry giants.  I say all of this to say, don't give up on your dream or your business desires.  Everything worth having is worth the effort.  The year 2023 is about AI and learning to use technology like a boss!  I wish we had the technology 15 years ago at the level that we have now, it makes creating processes so much easier.  Your only challenge is to learn the different facets of the multitude of technical systems available find what is valuable to your business and utilize it to the fullest.  Marketing in 2023 is relatively simple.  All of the social media is c

Are You Ready for Christmas 2022 ?

  Happy holidays!! As a business owner, or a high level manager or a beginner entrepreneur it is important to utilize the momentum of peoples good will and buying spirit during this last month of the year.  This has been a great year of learning for The D.S. Woodard company. Some of the things I studied are what I call the basics.  The basics of life, the basics of finance, the basics of business, the basics of wealth, etc.  I have been looking for a CFO for one of my new business ventures, the school, this is what led me to many of the materials I have been studying. One of the first things that I am going to share today is the Dave Ramsey school of thought.  His system is called " baby steps ."  He currently has a net-worth of $200,000,000.00  If you have children you should allow them to listen to this, if you have a spouse you should have them listen to this.  He teaches daily on his YouTube channel you can google it.  After you start on this activity then you will need t
