Greetings!
 
How's you life going right now? I love my life, hectic as it is. Why mention that now? I had a powerful reminder this week. A colleague was going from one place to another in her busy day, and while standing on a corner, was mowed down by a car, horribly breaking both legs and causing other injuries. In a blink, her life was changed. Fortunately, she survived. While she has a number of surgeries ahead of her, she is expected to recover, eventually.
 
Makes one take pause, look inside and thank God for where we are right now, today, at this moment. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and appreciate your life, family, colleagues and friends. They appreciate you, even if you don't hear it directly from them.
 
Look ahead, and determine where you want to be in a few weeks, few months, few years. Perhaps at least where you are right now? Perhaps in a different, maybe even better place? You do have the power and opportunities to achieve what you want.
 
You are on your own for your personal life, but if in your work life, you want to be more successful in the federal or B2B market, think of us, we are here to help.
 
Back to today's business: Are security clearances important? See below. Are you interested in opening doors to more business in the military or federal market? See below. Are you targeting the B2B market, call us. Want to know the different between a briefing and a debriefing and why it matters? See below. Want to see the best in a compact life saving vehicle that has the power of a full-size fire engine? See below.
 
I love the last one because these two guys came up with an innovative vehicle that fits inside buildings, can provide patient transport, fights fires, pumps water, shoots foam and stores equipment! With flashing lights and a siren. They won an award for it and well deservedly too. Let me know if you want to talk with them about this innovative, cost-effective compact vehicle. I'd love to connect you.
 
Here's to your success, your safety while standing on a street corner and your satisfaction and enjoyment of life!
