Lightening and Thunder not to mention 1.8 inches of rain, yippeeeee

Lightening, Thunder, downpour of rain, lights out. Oh no, yes, lights out, luckily the computer still works and so do our brains, on a good day. Have fun with it.

Once We know how it works and follow the recipe, oh boy we have: cake, icey, spicy sauce, a life worth living?

Isn't that fun and what we all want? Not exactly in too many cases. We are just that way or this way or in a hurry or afraid we won't get ours, whatever that means, or envious or in process or lost in time and place. Yet, we have access to information and education as never before in the history of history, no excuse no not one.  Have fun with it whether we hit the right notes or not.

Let's Have Fun With it, Okay?

Just a little fun at North Park Mall, Dallas, Texas. Display with a flare and message, sit enjoy, just like being in Paris sans the jet lag. Be Well, Have Fun, Spread the Joy of light and life.

Checki's Checki Point July 28, 2014

Doing the numbers. Yes, I like to do calculations that has been true since I was a little kid in New Jersey. Yet, a client once reminded me of the black box. The Black Box in his context was a computer program programmed to generate fear thus a call to whom ever put out that Black Box. Did one of those today which told me I was not making it. Silly Box, once double checked turned out to just be another vain attempt at humor, sick misguided humor.

Happy Anniversary Suzi

We have lived laughed, cried and had a splendid good time. Let's have fun with it.

Checki Check Point July 25, 2014

So, What would we like to accomplish by the end of this year? Now just for this year but as a foundation for future years as well.  Perhaps thinking of the next five months as a launching of new and/or improving adventures with our current clients and future clients, not to mention personal growth and helping not only our clients, family and staff, but each person we meet every day, every time. Are we ready? I hope and pray we are and taking action as well.

Nothing like understanding the objective of the adventure. Off to take your Nana to Beltone? Okay, what are we doing here? Fixing or replacing a hearing aid so a 92 lady can hear the phone, the birds singing her TV programs and music. Not just to go through the motions? No, to restore hearing. Much like going to the office or the job, let's start with the end in mind and make sure we get to the end plus leave everyone with "Wow" on their lips and in their minds. Have fun with it.

So, how does one accumulate Wealth? Best to start with understanding what Wealth is and is not, wouldn't you agree? Wealth generates growth and income over time. That could be positive cash flow and an increase in value over time. Yes, it does go down when markets go down and when principal is withdrawn, but over time................... It is what makes the Wealthy financially independent.

Was that Good for You?

Was that good for you?

It was an adventure with reading "The E Myth, Revisited" Strategic Coach and a gracious host at the B & B, Toronto was memorable, not so sure about repeatable.

Look on the bright side.

Sometimes that is all we can do, thank goodness for people who pray for us and send us some really wonderfully funny videos as well.

Through the fog

Out the window from a Strategic Coach session there off in the distance was a spindle of a building, wonder if that was the CNN tower?

Strategic Coach

Looking forward to today's adventure, why? Purpose of this trip, plus something I have longed to do for years,it has already had positive impacts in our lives. I'll keep y'all in the loop. Stay tuned.

Walking about, Listening Learning Reading taking notes, and looking forward

To putting it in the right places.

Not about the boats or the wind, yes the skill set is handy but it starts with desire the why, then the how appears,and then we take action. Hope that sounds exciting.

That is my name honestly.

That is my name honestly

Yes, my passport has a Jr. in my name, not sure why American Airlines Advantage system does not, can't wait to see how I will straighten that out this morning prior to checking in for my Toronto flight.

Fear of the Lord, is the beginning of wisdom?

Fear of the Lord, is the beginning of wisdom?

Give it a try, no that is not a picture of a picture it is a picture (photograph) of a garden outside the window of the Brix restaurant in Napa Valley, CA. Lovely place with great food.

Oh Boy, a lawn to mow, gardens to water, an office to visit packing to do, a passport to pack.

Oh Boy, a lawn to mow, gardens to water, an office to visit packing to do, a passport to pack.

Lessons to learn a new city to explore, but first a couple of cores and the joy of seeing the gardens grow.

Thanks for the panic attack? Really?

Thanks for the panic attack? Really?

No kidding, we all have those daze, look forward to smiling rather than, whoopsing.

Just looing for a home for family.

Just looing for a home for family.

Doing more than just piddling, these daze. Wondering when a home will pop up for the children and their parents.  With luck and the Grace of God it will be close to the office and Pop and Suzi's home so the commute will be short and baby sitting will be close at hand. We as always need your help.

Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance

Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance

Whether it is planting, watering, fertilizing, trimming and loving, it is all about the preparation? Not really, preparation is wonderful as long as we follow through with action, and not just action but doing what we said, when we said we would do it, and try in a happy grateful attitude, along with please and thank you, while showing up early enough to make sure that no matter what it works and works well. You have fun and be well.

Did we get lost in the shuffle of business and distractions?

Did we get lost in the shuffle of business and distractions?

Yes, I like taking pictures and sharing them hope you don't mind me adding a touch of flowers, grand children, Suzi, adventure, travel, along with a bit of wit and on a good day insight. Did we get lost in the shuffle of business and distractions or did we learn to spell and say what we mean clearly as we show initiative and leadership through action and inspiration? Just curious.

Just Piddling?

Around the yard and neighborhood. How about you? Oh, then there was Church and visiting my dear old mom, who we call Nana.

Happy To Be Here, and Hearing Y'all.

Just taking a look and laughing all the way and back again. How about you? and the ones you love?

Getting Coached

Getting Coached

Whether you are a rapper who is in the limo business, and makes a lasting impression by his style and delivery, or just a multi-degreed multi-certified practitioner who deals with retirement planning, getting coached gives us perspective, and if we implement and follow up we expand. 

Did We Forget To Get Started?

Did We Forget To Get Started?

They didn't. Zachariah and Elizabeth are excited, brother and sister working together with big sister Sarah, mommy, daddy, Suzi and Pop, to get the truck unloaded, bathing suits on, and jump in the pool. Then let's see what treats Pop has to eat, and what fun Suzi will provide, and what technical marvels Daddy will reveal. We each have our part to play.

Getting Started, that first critical step of the Journey.

Getting Started, that first critical step of the Journey.

Just like this goose, that first step, in getting started is so very critical. Yes, we have heard about putting our ladder up against the wrong building, and seeing a view we did not want to see at the top and that is okay, we call that experience, with that experience might have enough knowledge to jump from one roof to another or discover the miracle of wisdom and apply that to the new heights we have reached. Read this morning that growing up in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ back in the 1950's and graduating high school in 1966, sheltered me from life. Guess delivering newspapers to Franky's Market, learning to scuba dive in J.R. high school, working at Shop-Rite supermarket, playing basketball, dating girls from Lodi and going to NYC regularly in my MGA was a bit of a protected trip, yet, I am happy to have had the education, experiences and lift off at Newark Airport in 1967. It was a big first step, and I have looked back, visited and enjoyed the journey. Hope you are as well.

Another day of calling

Just lovely to have people to call and people calling me, always a pleasure. Almost as much fun as seeing you and I do mean you, in person. Have fun and be well, keep on growing and going.
