I have had a long career in helping others, encouraging others, managing others, making money for others, increasing wins and revenue for others, and consulting others. I'm now onto a new adventure and have officially closed my company after 11 successful years. My career and network of people have all been blessings and taught me so much. One thing I've learned - it's difficult to open up doors to new adventures when you haven't closed the door on others. I'm still learning what all next adventures will be - but I needed to close the door on some to see what all would open up and be ready for some adventures I've been preparing for. I can't really say this is "retirement" - as I'm still open to giving advice and consulting. Just know my advice and consultation now comes with a different price and a different reward - the price will be real relationship (I'm not looking for superficial and only have so much time on this earth left), learning, and actually being game to take the advice/consultation. The reward will be knowing you're getting practical and easy to implement advice/consultation from someone who has learned a lot and slowed down enough in life to see what matters most. The price? Your time; your effort; and maybe even getting involved in a good cause. Cheers to new adventures!
