“An educated person is not the one with the most knowledge, an educated person is the one who is willing to reflect, evaluate, and modify his most cherished beliefs when a new idea comes along.” ~ Christian Simpson

You’re in the perfect place!

You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be but not where you have to be.

There’s a story about a tourist who paused for a rest in a small town in the mountains. He went over to an old man sitting on a bench in front of the only store in town and inquired, “Friend, can you tell me something this town is noted for?”

“Well,” replied the old man, “I don’t rightly know except it’s the starting point to the world. You can start here and go anywhere you want.”

The same is true for you and me.

No matter where we are, we can start and go anywhere we want.

Will it always be easy? No.

Will it always be possible? Absolutely, IF we’re willing to pay the price.

Obviously, very few people start at the top. But, we don’t all have that in common with those lucky few. However, what we do have in common is this: If we want to move forward from wherever we are, we all must start.

“Most people fail in the getting started.” ~ Maureen Falcone

I agree, some do “fail in the getting started,” but I think the bigger issue is failing to keep going once you have started.

You had to get started at some point to be where you are. It didn’t just happen. You didn’t end up there by accident.

Like it or not, you ended up there by choice.

Do you want to press the reset button and head in a new direction? You can IF you choose to. Need some help? In private? No one will know but you? It will only cost you a few bucks! What a deal! Click/Tap above and begin your journey.

If you want to move up in the company or move forward with your life in general but feel stuck wherever you are, I’ve got good news. You haven’t run out of choices. You’re simply not making the right choices.

Why? I have no idea. Only you can answer that question.

When you think of why you’re stuck, don’t make excuses. Excuses are like exits when you’re traveling along the highway to success.

Excuses don’t take you where you want to go, they take you someplace you don’t want to go.

An excuse is simply a choice not to do what you know you should do.

Wish you had a better life? Start living a better life. Don't know how? The key is knowing the more influence you have the more options you will have. More options equals a better life. Click/Tap above and start climbing "The Ladder of Influence."

I want to give you something to think about whether you’re stuck or not. If you’re not stuck, use it to help someone that is.

Most of the time people quit growing and going when the price gets too high.

Many people are not willing to part ways with the toxic people in their lives or sacrifice their time and/or their money to continue moving forward to the next level.

Growth usually requires a lot more time than money, so not having the money is just another excuse.

And most often, it’s not even about our time. It’s about our choices.

“My first words are, GET SIGNED UP! This training is not, and I stress, not your everyday leadership seminar! I have never been a part of anything like it. After 30 years in technology and two years in Concrete Construction, I have attended dozens and sent hundreds to the so-called ‘Leadership-Training.’ I can tell you that while all of the courses, classes, webinars, and seminars, had good intentions, nothing can touch what Mack and Ria Story provide. I just wish I had it 20 years ago…I could go on-and-on…100% of the team that attended said that they were ‘blown-away, they did not see that conviction and passion coming.’ Many thanks, Mack and Ria!” ~ Sam McLamb, VP, CMP
