5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I take a moment to say a prayer, others may simply take a moment, to be thankful that I have another day to pursue my dreams and my goals.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? Making sure that I’ve accomplished something that my son and the younger generations that come behind me will be proud of.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Having joy in what you are doing.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? Patience. You will achieve your dreams; the path may not look like what you thought it would. As long as you are genuine, have a passion and a vision and you will get there.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Having access to resources that can help them throughout their journey. The resources aren’t all in the same place so chasing them down in a time and cost-effective way is the biggest challenge.
