Business Expo

Tonight I was able to attend a business expo in which business owners were showcasing their products. It is great to see the energy that people have when opening a business. Their passion and pursuit of excellence is second to none and is an example of how others should run their lives.

Presentation

Today I was able to give a presentation to about 45 people. I really enjoy these types of situations as it prepares me for future endeavors.

Rest and Relaxation

Today my wife and I were able to spend the day at home together and really relax. There are days that it is good to just relax and enjoy each others company. These days have not happened lately so I am glad we were able to spend this time together.

Babysitting

Tonight my wife and I babysat for a close friend. The child is only 6 weeks old but she is growing so fast. It is amazing how each baby is different on so many levels. My wife is outstanding with children and very caring, more than I will ever be. Soon we will be having our own and creating our own little miracle.

MBA Group

Tonight I finished working with my MBA group on our presentation that I will be giving. It has really been an outstanding experience working with each of them. We are each very diverse when it comes to professional career, however we have all worked very well over the past 8 weeks.

my wife returns

Today I am really looking forward to my wife returning from CA. She was recently out of town for business and it makes for a very lonely home. I really enjoy being with her and hope we can spend some quality time together over the weekend.

Thinking about the Future

Today I spoke with a few people who made me really think about the direction that I want to take my career in the future. I am still a relatively young when it comes to business experience but I know I can handle any type of environment. My passion is to develop as an executive coach and change the way people think about how to lead people and their organizations.

Busines Owner

Today I was able to spend sometime with a business owner who gave me some insight about how to form a network. I took one thing away from him as he stated, "Brad you need to build a network of young professionals as these will be the people that you can grow old with." I have never thought about this before but now more than ever it is important to begin this process.

Brother

Today my Brother, Sister in Law and nephew came over for dinner. It seems like my little nephew is growing so fast. It is amazing at how smart the little guy is it is a direct reflection of the time his parents have spent with him. I really enjoy seeing my brother when we were kids we did not always see eye to eye but today we are great friends.

Flemings

Tonight I took my wife to a nice dinner north of our house. It is really nice to enjoy a great evening with my wife and engage in great conversation. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. We really need to make more time to enjoy nights like this.

Big

Tonight I watched the movie Big with my wife. It is great to have fun and act like a child sometimes. Too many times we are acting so serious and get caught up in the stress of our lives that we forget to have fun. Smiling, Laughing and having fun are nearly always lost in day to day lives but I am dedicated to having fun each day. Today is a great day to be alive.

Valentines

My wife is my best friend and without her I am not sure where I would be today. She definitely keeps me grounded and I am lucky to have her. Gifts are nice to have but seeing her smile is better than any gift money could buy.

Elements

Today my wife was faced with a challenge to drive through some really adverse conditions. This is very concerning for her but as she completed the task there was a sense of confidence that was displayed that I do not see very often. I love to see her happy and this was a time that she truly shined!!

Friendship

Today a friend of mine interviewed at my organization. I really would hope to see him as part of the team; however, he has to make the right move professionally and personally. I hope he makes the right decision and I will support him in whichever direction he decides to go.

Friday

I finished my first week with the new team, they are great and really want to do well. The weekends bring joy to spend time with my wife. It is nice to see my wife with less stress and she has a tremendous motivation to exercise. I am glad she has committed to this new found lifestyle, I love her more than she knows.

Trust

Today I had a conversation with an employee and she is beginning to build confidence in our relationship. I have already noticed that she is bringing new ideas to the table and is beginning to feel valued. I really enjoy building these relationships as they will have an impact for years to come.

Small Success

Today I was able to meet with a business owner who I will be securing as a client soon. It is great to have the ability to help local businesses purse their goals. The experience that I am gaining cannot be measured as relationships are built over time not over number of accounts opened.

Super Bowl

Yesterday we spent the day with a collection of friends from all different backgrounds. It was an outstanding event and I really enjoyed the time and company. I look forward to times like these as the more you can connect with people the more you can learn.

Faith

Today I was fortunate enough to meet a gentleman that has devoted his life to the lord. It amazes me the sacrifice that people will go through in order to fulfill their dreams and faith. Regardless of a person faith denomination the passion that these people carry with them each day is incredible.

inspired

Today I went to see Chris Gardner as he gave a public speech at a local university. I thought the topics were outstanding and his story was very clear. You can do anything that you want to do but you have to have the knowledge and willingness to learn to be effective.
