🏈 Inspiration from the Gridiron to the Boardroom! On Sunday, we all witnessed something truly special: The Miami Dolphins triumphed over the Chargers in a match that will be etched in memory for many (well, at least for my son and I). But more than the win, it was the relentless spirit of Tua Tagovailoa that stood out. 🌟 Every great performance is a testament to perseverance. Tua, despite the chorus of doubters and skeptics, showed us what it means to trust oneself and stay the course. In a world where critics are often louder than supporters, it's imperative to KEEP FAITH IN OUR ABILITIES. The same principle holds true in our financial journeys. Building long-term sustainable wealth isn't about instant gratification or short-term gains. It's about patience, trust in the process, and an unwavering commitment to our vision. Just as Tua doesn't let a single game, or a single voice of doubt define his career, we shouldn't let momentary setbacks define our financial destiny. To everyone out there: let this week be a reminder that, just like Tua, with unwavering faith and dedication, we can turn any challenge into an opportunity. Let’s block out the noise, focus on our end goals, and work tirelessly towards our vision of success. 🚀 #DolphinsWin #FinancialFreedom #TrustTheProcess #JuliUS

Old Joe Medicine Crow. I heard those specific words right as I woke up. I sat straight up because the voice that said them was as real as the room. I rarely have these dreams where the words are so crystal clear, but when I do, I totally pay attention to them. They have a meaning even though it is not always immediately obvious why. Old Joe Medicine Crow. I rather expected to find a band by that name with some one hit wonder song with superb lyrics. ▶︎ Instead, I found the last war chief of the Crow Nation. One only gets to own the ancient and prestigious title of war chief when they are the bravest, the strongest in their tribe. This hallowed title is reserved for those able to prove themselves in combat and accomplishing the four achievements the Crow people believed were the most difficult things a warrior could accomplish. ▶︎ Let's just say, I didn't see that coming. At the time of my dream, he had just turned 100. Old Joe. He lived another two years to the age of 102. ▶︎ Somehow, I knew that he was extra special. And, he was. Most people stop at his being a war chief. But, it wasn't his military prowess and bravery that captured my attention. In extensive research, I found that he was both equally revered among the Native Americans as he was reviled. Why? Because he was willing to collaborate with the enemy, those who had driven tribes away from their homelands. Historicially, the Crow Nation was noted for their work in building communities and in education. He saw that the settlers had additional ideas in the same vein. When his critics saw him integrating some of the White Man's ideas into Crow communities, they came at him hard. ▶︎ His reply? "Take from the best and discard the rest." ❓So, how exactly is the bravest of war chiefs key to your new client acquisition woes? Rainmaking in North America started with the Native Americans and came into business lore through the legal field. We have been blessed with an amazing model for profitable organic growth if we're willing to collaborate. ✅ A Rainmaker is the most important person in a firm as they are able to bring in biggest and most new clients. ✅ Rainmakers exist in any profession.

Quote from Calvin Coolidge, our 30thPresident. MCRD San Diego Ca 1983 Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. What we know makes no difference unless we take massive immediate action Don't Quit 'When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up though the pace seems slow-- You may succeed with another blow, Success is failure turned inside out-- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.' #thinkandgrowrich #bobproctor #warrenbuffet #ted #williamsburgbrooklyn #marines #drillinstructor #sandiego #reconmarine #combatptsdawareness #veteranshelpingveterans #losangeles #leadership #businessman #motivationalquotes Team Never Quit !!

Once upon a time, there was a man with an idea and a dream! In 1965, while in college, he wrote a term paper about his idea. His professor thought it was improbable and gave him a "C" on his paper. He joined the Marines and learned the values of discipline, teamwork, and a single minded mission mindset. He never forgot about his idea and dream to make it happen. In 1971, the young man started his business in Little Rock, AR. In 1973, he moved his business, to Memphis, TN and officially began operations. On April 17, 1973 his business delivered 186 packages to 25 cities. That young man with an idea and a dream: Frederick W. Smith / Federal Express Corporation / FedEx The rest as they say is history! There are many stories like this, but they usually have some common themes. *Mindset: Single-minded focus on what you are trying to accomplish *Action: Nothing happens until you take action *Discipline: Stay on course and avoid your own self-limiting beliefs, or how others say it can't be done *Perseverance: Trials and tribulations are inevitable; how you respond is what matters What else would you add? What's stopping your idea from becoming your realized dream? #memphisbizleague

The top 3 things I learnt from spending a week at Dan Pena's castle 1) Have a thick skin, business is tough, people will do you over, call you names and lie about you. Dan Treats his mentees tough to prepare them for this. 2) You can improve your chances of winning against people smarter than you simply by out working them. Dan makes you stay up late watching videos about business while having a few drinks then wants you up bright and early ready to attack the day He does this to replicate life. Most people will lay in and rest the morning after, the winners will get up and attack the day no matter what 3) Leverage others peoples reputations and skillsets. I have done this relentlessly and make sure I only partner with people better than me in my weak areas

What principles guide your company's direction? Are they good? Are they bad? At Garrett, we paused in 2022 after our last founder passed away to reflect on our history and our values and we codified the results in what we call our "Four Pillars". Garrett's Four Pillars are both historical and aspirational. They are the principles that we intend to retain and strengthen as we make decisions to guide our future. Over the next four weeks, I'll share our Pillars with you. #GarrettCares #Garrett4Pillars
