Jean de la Bruyere said "Out of difficulties grow miracles." I agree with this. I've not really gone into my darkest hour here on this program. Suffice to say, it would take more than a minute and it wouldn't feel to motivational... but I will tell you that I learned so many things in that dark valley. When you're on top of the world, you have a great view and you can see it all. Everyone wants to be with the people on the top. But when you slide down into the valley... it can be a lonely place. You find out that some of your friends are different than other friends. You might discover that some people are not very good friends at all! But if you make some good friends in the valley, and you climb to the top together. You'll discover an unbreakable bond. These people are YOUR people. They knew you at your worst and still loved you. Hold on to them!

Elon Musk said "If something is important enough, even if the odds are against you, you should still do it." I agree. I've done this so many times in my life I can't even count them all. I remember walking into a newspaper and saying “I want to be a photographer” and I showed them my work. The manager asked how old I was. I said “15” he said, come back when you're 16. I stopped in a few times between then and my birthday... and when I turned 16... I was hired as a photographer and I helped in the darkroom. Similarly, a few years later. I walked into a radio station... with no experience... still in high school. I asked “do you need any DJ's or whatever?” I started working there a few days later. The odds have always been against me, but I've never cared about the odds. I've just asked a question. Sometimes they say YES!

Earl Nightingale said "All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination." Very nice. I think those things would be helpful for sure. Have you ever been in a situation where you didn't have the luxury of a plan or a road map... so you need MORE courage! I've been there a few times. With a well laid plan that changed at the last minute. I've had major components of a plan that fell through just days before the event. I've had to pivot on many things... many times. We need to be ready for the things that we don't want to deal with. That's good planning. I was at a wedding where the DJ's music stopped. The lights were still flashing... the smoke machine was pumping... but the fuse on the amplifier popped! I saw him struggling... then I said “take the fuse from the smoke machine” it fit... and it worked great!

Bonnie Guterl said "The longer you're in the game, the hotter you are." This is fun! I think it SOUNDS like a gambling thing, but I'm going to talk about business! When I started working in the media world in 1993, things were different. I've progressed through so many things that have come and gone. I've watched things work... then not work... then work again. I've helped people grow their business in tough times and in great times. In a good economy and in a tough economy. After a national tragedy... during a global pandemic... and in good times. It is very true that the longer you're in the game, the hotter you are. You know how to deal with things in good times and in bad times. I've watched many people make knee-jerk reactions instead of well thought out decisions. Take a moment and step back once in a while. It's good!

Chris Grosser said "Opportunities don't happen. You create them." I agree with this one for sure. I've been so blessed in my life. I've never said I've been lucky because I really don't believe in luck! I've make the right call on the right day at the right time. That has happened too many times to count. Could I call it luck?! Sure, but I think it's more of a by product of doing the hard work! If I didn't make any calls. I'd probably not have the same result. So it's less luck and more making an opportunity happen by doing the work. It's amazing how much luckier you are when you work harder and work more than your peers! I've always been an early riser. There have been times that I've done more work than my co-workers before they even woke up! Make plans to create some opportunities this week! Try it... what do you have to lose?
