Team Life 04292016

Good Morning Team and welcome to another Fantastic Friday. I hope you have all had a successful week and have achieved or made forward progress towards your goals. So today, let's talk about one of the key attributes you need to possess in order to succeed in life or what ever mission or goal you choose to take on. That attribute is INTEGRITY!!! So, put simply, what does it mean to have integrity? In it's simplest terms, what that means is that I will do what I say I will do. Many times it is all to easy to say, "Oh, I can do that for you, or Sure I would be happy to lend a hand". Then, after some thought we may question as to why did I say I would do that? Why did I say I would help when I really don't care to, or something more fun or interesting is offered to you when you have committed to be available. The bottom line is this, if I tell you I am going to do something for you, or if I tell you to call me anytime you need my assistance, then I am going to be a man of my word and make myself available. We all have moments in our lives where we have said to someone, I can help you with your task and arrange for a date and time only to have an actual life emergency inter-fear. In cases such as this, it is my obligation to you as the person I made the agreement with to inform you as soon as I possibly can and also state, I will still make my self available to you and let's reschedule. Your Integrity is the base of your reputation that will always follow you around where ever life takes you. Trust me, a person is quickly labeled by their friends, coworkers and neighbors as either someone they can take at their word or someone that they know they cannot rely on. Which do you want to be? Don't get me wrong, there are moments where everyone struggles with this. But as my wife reminds me from time to time, Nothing worth having ever comes easy. We as individuals must be willing to make that conscious effort every day to be the best person we can be in order to achieve our personal success and to aid in the success of our teammates. Until next time team, Have a great day and as always, HOOYAH!!! Never Give up!!!

TEAM LIFE 04/20/2016

WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!! HOOYAH Teammates!!! Welcome to a brand new day. Time to hop out of that rack and get that blood pumping. Knock out a few push ups, sit ups and burpees and jump into that COLD shower. No better way to start the day!!! We are half way through the work week and time is flying fast. Are you meeting your goals? Is your team on track to meet their goals? Now is the time to reassess your plan and adapt and improvise if needed. Remember a good leader is always willing to adapt his or her plan as required to ensure the success of his entire team. You must be able to positively motivate your team mates and keep in mind that no two teammates are alike, so this requires you to be hands on and really know your team. Remember, our mission day in and day out is to be the best we can be. We ALL want to be elite. So start your day with these two questions. 1, What will I do today to make me better at my job / mission? 2. What will I do today to make my Team / Company better? At the end of each day follow it by asking these questions. 1. Did I make myself better or did I achieve my mission today? 2. Did I make my Team / Company better today? If the answer to those end of day questions is no, then sit back down, because your day is not done. To be a true leader we must say what we are going to do, and do what we say we will do. So now lets all get FIRED UP and MOTIVATED to make this another Outstanding Day!!! HOOYAH TEAM!!! Never Give Up!!!
