Back To School is not Just for your Children!

 


Greeting's High Achievers!  This month is the time when your young ones, or if you're like me your grandchildren return to the routine of Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Social Skills, and Homework.  However, this is a great time for us, the care-givers to increase our bank of knowledge and influence. 

 What are some subjects that you have always been curious about?  What are some books you've always wanted to read?  What are some skills you currently desire to gain?  Today is the day to begin to ask yourself these types of questions. 

  DSWoodardConsulting has published our newest book "We Only Die Once. We Get to Live Every Day! " It teaches personal and professional development.  It is a combination of 3 different workshops being developed for our online audience, they will be available in the late fall.   The hardest thing in life is to create time for yourself to be who you said you wanted to be when you came to the planet.  Life moves at a fast pace, and others are always looking for ways to infringe on your time.  As I always say, time is our most valuable asset and our time is finite!  Each and every moment that you have can't be spent pleasing others.  Learning how to say no is hard, but you have to practice it, let the pain of the other person's feelings roll off your heart and continue on with what is important to you.  This is easier said than done, trust me I know.  I have 3 adult children, and they are so used to mom stopping her life for them and moving heaven and earth for them.  The quick video below Dr. Wayne Dyer explains it really well.



The wise man knows he knows nothing, the fool thinks he knows all." Chinese Proverb 
 The amount of time that we have is unknown, the thing I think about often is, how do we know we are dead when we die?  Ask yourself how do I know I've lived today?  Let's see if we can take some steps towards achieving our goals this week.  Look up some classes online.  Create a plan to take a mentorship for a year in a course of something you've been thinking about venturing into, like maybe a real estate investing class.   Promise yourself that you will push yourself beyond your normal limits.  Let's check back in with each other in a few days or a couple of weeks.

To your success,
D.S. Woodard

Are You Doing Too Much? How Do You Know? Push!

From my I-Phone  Greetings High Achievers!! It is the middle of the summer season.  It has been such a hot summer, yet I still find time to get out and walk daily.  The photo to the left is of a flock of geese crossing the lake that we walk across.  I wanted to share this for two reasons, one it's beautiful and two every photo on the internet costs money.  I understand that people like to get paid, but there was a time I could get quality photos with a few clicks.  Well what's been going on in your business world?   I have been building a few things as usual.  Many times I think I'm doing too much.  Often I think I'm not doing enough.  As soon as I think that one of my business partners decides that they want to be so active and push the business along for five minutes, and then I'm on my own again.  Have you had times of  discouragement in your business endeavors?  I'm sure we all have.  This past year I have fo...

January and the Trump Era Begins, What's Next?

            President Trump and First Lady www.abc.com Great Day High Achievers.  The American New Year is upon us.  One year ago I began the YouTube channel,   @wellbeingover50withdw  .  I am enjoying it very much, however I have also begun teaching in the public school system as I grow my school and build my family's legacy.  So, what have you all been doing?   Well let's talk about the North American President, Donald Trump and his second time around.  I am not here to speak about or debate his personal life and his so-called shortcomings.  I want to address what I have noticed and how it assists us who are business owners or leaders in our communities.   Take a look at this picture, he, to me looks like he is all about business.  His first time in office, he had to prove he was equipped to be there.  There aren't that many qualifications to become the President of America.  ...

How to get Government Contracts, Quickly.

 Great Evening High Achievers!!  There are 3 days left in this last quarter of 2023.  We made it, and we are going to be even greater in 2024.  This was a trying and a wonderful year for our business.  We have cried and laughed as we learned from trial and error how to get things done.  There are more lessons to learn and more opportunities to take advantage of.  I want to share with you a few things about getting your business out of the rat race and into the government contracting place.   Do you know what M.B.E.'s, W.B.E.'s, V.B.E.'s, D.B.E.'s, and A.C.D.B.E's are?  No this is not Sesame Street.  These letters stand for Minority Business Entity, Women Business Entity, Disadvantaged Business Entity, and Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Entity.  This is how the government classifies different types of businesses for their sponsored programs.  The statistics for the amount of contracts awarded to these entities ar...
