Detroit Gems
By: Lori T. Williams, Owner/Managing Attorney of Your Legal Resource, PLLC & Member of The Collaborative Group I had the privilege of taking another Bus Tour of Detroit recently, with some friends from The Collaborative Group. Our tour guide was native Detroiter and life-long resident, Jeanette Pierce, of Inside Detroit. Jeanette and her staff all live, […]
Anything is possible!
After spending a couple hours with my dear friend Kim Smith, who recounted her amazing mission trip to Rwanda, I knew I had to share her stories and photos with all of you. Hopefully you will be as moved as I was when you hear Kim’s story and the stories of the residents in the village where she stayed. What Kim took away from this trip was “a belief that anything is possible. We all have a purpose in life and just need to discover it. We should pay it forward whenever possible. We are all unique, yet we are one.”
3 Tips to Achieve your Goals
To realize your goals, focus on these three things: 1) Set Intentions; 2) Define/Redefine Boundaries; 3) Create Space. In all three steps, action is involved in order to bring about the desired result.
Are you in the present moment, or oblivion?
Without an intention of being fully present in any given moment, we can coast through our day, barely aware of what occurred. That’s existing, not living. Our families, clients, co-workers, and friends deserve more from us. Being “half there” simply isn’t good enough. Jim Rohn is quoted as saying, “wherever you are, be there!”
Creativity is for Everyone!
I recently read Josh Linkner’s newest book, Disciplined Dreaming, and found his insights very valuable. This book applies to solopreneurs, like myself, as well is large corporations. If you have to boil the book down to one essential point, I believe it is that “Creativity is for Everyone!” It’s not just for your marketing department, or the “creative types” down the hall. Creativity applies to the front desk receptionist, the new associate, the CEO, and everyone in an organization, including YOU! The book is chalk full of examples of how to apply creativity as an individual or a team. Josh makes a compelling case for why you must learn to be creative if you want to stay in business: Adapt or die, and creativity is the way to move forward. It isn’t an option, it’s essential to your sustainability and growth as a business. I think it is a must read for all business owners and employees in Metro Detroit. I hope you’ll be among them.
