Failure can lead to success!

The other day I was asked if I would consider joining the Board of Directors of a growing Not for Profit Organization. I replied that much of the added value I could bring to the Board was from many successes that I have experienced as a direct result of failures along my path. The Executive Director who asked me to join the Board was glad to hear that I would be real and that I knew what to and what not to do.

Some of my failures were a direct result of anxiousness or poor decision making on my part, occasionally from bad information and some were a result of others dealing deceitfully. Most of the lessons I have learned from the failures lead to the sweetest successes in my business and personal life.

Today, I am surrounded by a group of incredible friends who are real about successes and failures, most giving glory to God for both and have a vision of the future that encourages the next generation. Getting is a given, giving is intentional.

Join me in giving away what I cannot keep.
