Keeping America and the American Dream Great

Many who know me, know that I attack all my endeavors with excitement and passion regardless of whether they be personal or professional. Even as a child, I had to be the center of attention or in the middle of the action. This still holds true today as I grow my company and help other small business owners in the GovCon community.
We all have our own motivators for what drives us and mine are my parents. This photo is from my parents’ Naturalization Day circa 1982. I don't think they could've imagined that after we emigrated at the fall of Saigon in April 1975, that they would go on to raise three college-educated children from Albright, LaSalle, Dickinson, Boston College, and Harvard. Not only was education a required foundation for our family, but my parents also instilled a strong commitment to giving back to the community that gave us so much. I share in this philosophy and try to practice this daily with my clients and those around me. Here's one of my favorite quotes from Deepak Chopra, "In our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives."
So I challenge all of you to take all your successes and knowledge you have and share it with your family, friends, colleagues, and customers. Take the opportunity to mentor a colleague, share some intel with a new business owner, or make time to volunteer in your community. Whatever it may be, be the best you that you can be!
