A New Year. New Challenges, Similar Challenges, THe Same Challenges, Different Challenges.
1) My Father (I realized way to late was a lot smarter than I gave him credit for) Always told me, BE A MAN and take responsibility for whatever you do. Well everyone BE AN ADULT AND TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR WHATEVER YOU DO.
2) There is never anything wrong in making a mistake! Especially if you learn from it and grow from it. there is only something wrong if you never try something. WELL EVERYONE LETS TRY!
3) Instead of having seminars and meetings and blogs and writeups and on and on and on abut CSA 2010 (OR 2011) by now, lets accept it, and learn to work within it. WE HAVE NO CHOICE.
4) Customs on both sides here (U.S. and CANADA), are not infaillable, in fact they do make mistakes as well. They may never admit it, though, as those famous 3 words will always haunt us SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION. Of course we can also add THE DRIVER IS ALWAYS RESONSIBLE.
5) Yes our industry is male dominated, however that does not preclude us from opening our arms and accepting anyone and everyone who wants to get in it. ALL LADIES ARE WELCOME. (P.S. Claudia, Jane, Kathy) are already trailblazers in it and are a great source of information and anyone in this business should NETWORK with them.
6) Think Big, Think Strong Think Postitive, Think For The Future, not today! That is the present, not yesterday, you cannot change the past, think and plan for tomorrow and beyond. That is how we will be here tomorrow and beyond.

Everyone in this industry should hide nothing and share everything. Of course other than personal information, or something we may regret. Forget the Politics, the RED TAPE and the B.S> in everyday life. I for one want to be around POSTIVIE PEOPLE, FRIENDS and BUSINESS ASSOCIATES, Who will always BLAZE THEIR OWN TRAIL!
