I have much to say and I try to stay on top of my social media networking, but this blog thing has me "whipped!" It's always on my "To Do" list and it's always number one, but I never seem to get to it.
Things have been moving & grooving at D&F. We had our Regional Awards Banquet in Virginia and North Carolina in March. It was wonderful to hear about all the successes and acknowledge the service awards of our long term employees. The Awards Banquet made me proud and warmed my heart. Congrats to all the team members!
Recently I heard a speaker, Don Yaeger, talk about "Greatness," what makes someone great and how you can achieve your own greatness. I would like to share his 16 characteristics of "Greatness" which I keep at my desk to refer to often.
1) It's personal--they hate to lose more than they love to win.
2) Rubbing Elbows--They understand the value of association.
3) Believe--They have faith in a higher power.
4) Contagious Enthusiasm--They are positive thinkers... they are enthusiastic... and that enthusiasm rubs off.
5) Hope for the Best, but prepare for all possibilities before they step on the field.
6) What Off Season? They are always working towards the next game... the goal is what's ahead and there's always something ahead.
7) Visualize Victory--They see victory before the game begins.
8) Inner Fire--They use adversity as fuel.
9) Ice in their Veins--They are risk takers and don't fear making a mistake.
10) When all else fails--They know how and when to adjust their game plan.
11) Ultimate Teammate--They will assume whatever role is necessary for the team to win.
12) Not just about the Benjamins--They don't play just for the money.
13) Do Unto Others--They know character is defined by how they treat those who cannot help them.
14) When No One is Watching--they are comfortable in the mirror... they live their life with integrity.
15) When Everyone is Watching--They embrace the idea of being a role model.
16) Records are made to be Broken--They know their legacy isn't what they did on the field. They are well-rounded.
Are you great? What do you need to do in your personal and professional life to become great?
On another note... it's nice to move into other markets that we have traditionally not been in before... Charleston, SC and Annandale, VA (Northern Virginia). Let's expand our footprint in the southeast!
