Good morning, it's a great day and the month is moving along.  It's May and a month shy of the mid-year check.  This post is to remind those who say they want to create for their generational legacy.  What are you waiting for?  I speak with those who keep making excuses.  I speak with those who say I need this, or I need that.  I can tell you that yes they could use those things to get their dream off the ground and running, but I will also tell you that every excuse was created in a classroom of doubt and fear starting in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade.  I fit the same category.  I often put things off and find reasons not to move forward.  I am always coming up with a new idea and if it doesn't take off quickly, I get bored or lose interest.  I have often jumped back and forth in and out of working for a company to generate fast cash, which seems to always end with me being a little farther behind then when I started, which means I waste pre

Good Evening, this is the beginning of spring and the month is more than half past, it's time to make certain that your plan is working properly. I do an assessment of my progress every 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days, but my mentor Jim Rohn suggest that we do an assessment at the end of the day each day, then again at the end of the week each week.  This is wise, because often time moves rapidly and we can get caught up in false momentum, thinking we are reaching our desired goals, only to find out it's been more than 90 days, and is quickly approaching 9 months or a complete year and you have made little progress. Let's hear what the late great Jim Rohn has to say. If you watched that you have a good idea of what to do next.  If you are doing anything but something you love, you are wasting your moments.  You are not being productive.  I love when he say's "don't wish it was easy, wish you were better, don't wish for less problems, wish for more skil

This is the best post idea I've had all month.  I was deciding what to post this week and as I viewed a website about agents in New York City this popped into the live news stream.  I stopped what, Chuck Berry died at 90, is this today I asked myself, I googled his name sure enough it was true.  I'm a fan so I immediately posted a few of his videos to twitter, then it hit me, "I dare you to do what you love and fail." That video was from 1958, and you could feel his energy, but watch this from 14 years later and tell me he did not still love what he was doing years later in 1972. This is love.  When you love what you do you are great, life is awesome and there is so much joy.  This post is an inspiration post of the highest magnitude.  There is a finite amount of time we each have and then we leave, so get on with whatever it is that you love to do, stop procrastinating.  Enjoy your journey, now in this moment.  This is my tribute to one who insp

Good morning.  We are getting into our year rather quickly.  As business owners and executive employees we have to constantly remind ourselves what it is we do.  I have new members of the High Achiever's Academy and it is awesome. This month we will get back to the beginning of planing our businesses.  That means creating a business plan. It will take a few post, but we will get it done. The DS Woodard Consulting Group will be coming out with a new format by the months end.  There will be a short post for those who happen upon the page and there will be a small membership fee for complete access.  I think $1.25 per week is doable.  I appreciate the support of the blog, but I am converting it to DSWoodard.com you will still be able to reach it the same way but it will integrate with my web page. How do you get to this image and open your business?  You have to start with a plan.  We have been here before, but with so many new High Achiever's in the academy I have to
