Blue Collar Executive
Achieve your destiny and be successful at any level by staying rooted in a strong work ethic, determination, and integrity. My Mom and Dad were factory workers and generations before them were farmers or coal miners. My path took me in a business direction, but it was still the work ethics and values of my blue collar roots that helped me reach top executive levels. My Dad was a man of few words, but as I navigated through my career I could always find the answers I needed in the subtle things he said or did. I believe these nuggets can help anyone achieve any level of success they desire and I want to share them. I have written many of these in an unpublished book, but my gift is talking and not writing. So I am going to share them in this weekly podcast in hopes someone finds them valuable or at least entertaining. It doesn't matter what color your collar is. We all have gifts and a purpose. None more important than the other. The important thing is that we all reach our full potential and be the best we can be.

Wishes Can Come True
Tis the season for merry wishes and I have great news! Wishes can come true! However, it requires action beyond the blowing of a birthday candle or tossing of a coin into a fountain. A wish without action will always only be a wish. If we wish for an apple tree to be in our backyard it will never just appear no matter how many shooting stars we wish upon, but if we plant the seed and nourish it our wish will come true.
So as you think about what you wish for in life, consider what is within your abilities to achieve it. You may just find that you hold the power to make your wishes and the wishes of others come true.
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi
