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 I have written many of these in an unpublished book, but my gift is talking and not writing.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.

Many people use New Year's Day as a new beginning for improving areas of their life. The sad fact is 43% fail before February, and almost one out of four quit within the first week of setting their New Year’s resolution. Most people quit before the end of January, and only 9% see their resolutions through until succession.
So, why do we set these lofty annual goals for ourselves? We should make every day New "Day" Day! We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we have an opportunity to improve the quality of our lives everyday that we wake up. If we focus more on the beauty of today and worry less about the troubles of tomorrow we will achieve our resolutions 100%.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
