Be the kind of person that takes the time to learn a new skill and better yet be one of the few that takes it to the next level and becomes an expert at that skill.  Think about what your passionate about and don’t stop until you master it!

Definition of Risk:  The quantifiable likelihood of loss or less-than-expected returns. 

 I say take a risk even though you are unsure of the outcome and encourage others to do so as well.  Do it and you just might reap a reward or two from it, like my son Noah did in this recent video that I share with you.    

ESOH Symposium
I am excited to be back from vacation and blast off with our next video blog.  In this episode I will be sharing the amazing time I had at the Environment, Safety, Occupational Health Training Symposium.  Having the opportunity to speak with over 1500 of America’s finest in the United States Air Force is a true honor and a privilege. The most exciting thing for me was being able to hang out for a couple of days at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and really get to know some of the men and women who give so much to keep us safe every day.  From my family to yours, thank you!

It has been said that everyone has a “book in them” and I tend to agree.  I have written a few of them now and I think that you too, have something deep down in your heart that you are passionate about….enough to put down in print. In this video blog, I give some ideas of how to get started.  Leave me a comment and tell me what your book is going to be about?   

Meet Craig
Craig Heimbuch is someone I know well…someone who has followed his dream and has just completed his first book.  Its called, Chasing Oliver Hazard Perry and its a hilarious, touching and fascinating chronicle of his journey around Lake Erie in hopes of bringing Perry to life.  He travels to battlefields, meets historians, re-enactors and surly border guards, while coping with missed opportunities, frightening motels and a broken down car. It’s a trip you won’t want to miss!

Often times, even though extremely difficult, its necessary to spend some quiet time by yourself.  Take 5 minutes each day to really evaluate who you are and the life you are living…the script that you are following.

In this episode, we will evaluate your job, your life, your relationships and whether or not you are “living the dream”…and if not, why not?  It’s time to stop dreaming and start acting and creating the life you desire and deserve.  Take action and stop the paralysis of analysis.
