Have you asked yourself this: Am I going to be missed when I am gone? What sacrifices are you making to make memories and spend time with your kids? Or are you letting money take over your life and time?

Do you have a $3 worth of character and integrity? Can you open your books today to show your wife, children and grandchildren and tell them, "this is how I do my business”?
We’re called to be holy. That’s what God calls us to be. And oftentimes we can confuse those things when it’s costing us money. I wonder what God could really do in our lives if we were holy, if we’re really men of integrity, if we really had the character that we portray to our colleagues and our family. He could open the floodgates and He could do things that are immeasurable compared to what you’re trying to do on the side or on the sly.
Take a personal evaluation and do better, today.

Small Minds Talk About People, Great Minds Discuss Ideas
Posted by Aaron Walker on Mar 10, 2021 9:00:00 AM
I heard the saying years ago that small minds talk about people and great minds talk about ideas. It is very true! We need to stop talking negative and talk about people. Quit blowing our own whistle, boasting or bragging. We need to start talking about ideas, talking about sharing and helping. A mindset of something like, "How can I help you? What can I do to take you to the next level? What can I do to introduce you to the right person?". Be a part of the solution not part of the problem.

Great habits and good company have a way of turning times like this from tragedy to triumph.
While I was working on the new personal assessment that I'm putting together for our community. When I was reading through the family section, it kind of touched me, my own heart. I started thinking about my own family, and my daughters and my grandkids.
Guys, listen, I want you to lean in. Family is the most important dynamic of what we deal with each and everyday. I am all fired up about making money. I love to make money. I never want to take away from making more money today. Don't hear me wrong. I'm not saying making money's wrong. I want you to go make all the money that you can. Absolutely. What I don't want you to do is do it at the expense of your family.
And what's difficult for some of you guys to hear right now is you're young, you've got a lot of financial obligations and responsibilities ahead of you. I know you're torn. I get it man. Listen, believe me, for 40 years I've been getting that. I understand it. But some of you guys are doing this success thing at the expense of your children.
Anybody can be a father but it takes a real man to be a daddy. I want you to build those boundaries. And be careful. When you come home at night and your little Billy or Susie says, "Daddy can we play?" Man shut those electronics off and go out in the yard and play with those kids. They never ever will ask you "Hey Daddy, how much money did you make today?" They don't care. What they want is your time and listen. Spend the time with them. Don't cheat them out of the most important part of your day.
Don't come home exhausted. Man up and go out there an play with those kids. And I promise you the returns on that time invested will be invaluable.
Don't waste your whole life coming home one day with a pocketful of money to a house full of strangers.
When you get old like me, fat and bald headed, you can look back and not have regrets.
Again, make all the money you can but man when those kids come up to you and say "Daddy can we go out and play?" Just answer "Yes, I'm on my way!"
