It is good to step away from the podium and into the country. Evergreen, TX, was home during the 1990s, and Dad is still there. It was a beautiful day to cut wood and clean out overgrowth. What is your favorite way to do something different?  #adventure #workhardplayhard #gooutside #evergreen #mrgpresentations #bigpresentationsinsmallrooms #leadershipdevelopment #goodstuff

I'm looking forward to participating in this panel discussion in May! As a young professional who was empowered by experienced mentors who treated me as a valued peer, I am so appreciative of vision-focused leadership where the opportunity to learn from people with different perspectives, no matter what age or background, is embraced. Smart leaders live with a growth mindset and know there is always more to be learned. 

🔄 Out with the Old, In with the New! 🌱 As the seasons change, so do our lives. It's a time for renewal, for shedding the old and embracing the new. This week has been a testament to that very notion. I decided to close a chapter of my life by paying off debts, closing down a business that I ran for over 8 years, and making space for what truly matters. It wasn't easy, but it was necessary. Sometimes, we need to let go of the things that no longer serve us to make room for the opportunities waiting on the horizon. But amidst the endings, there were also beginnings. I attended the annual Krown Corporate conference with my family, a first for my family even though we have been a franchisee spanning two decades. Surrounded by fellow franchisees, all working towards a common goal, I found myself immersed in a sea of inspiration and possibility. Instead of pitching my own ventures, I found joy in connecting with others, learning from their journeys, and celebrating their successes. It was a reminder that we're all on different paths, but our destination remains the same – success and growth. And to top it all off, our hard work was recognized. Being acknowledged for Outstanding Growth in 2023 was not just a pat on the back, but a validation of our relentless dedication and perseverance. But this is just the beginning. As the saying goes, "Onward!" We've cleared out the clutter, made space for greatness, and now it's time to seize the opportunities that lie ahead. To everyone who has supported me along the way, whether through a simple appointment or a kind word of encouragement, I am endlessly grateful. Your belief in me fuels my journey forward. So, as we embrace the changing seasons, let's also embrace the changes in our lives. Let's continue to strive for excellence, to push boundaries, and to never lose sight of our dreams. Here's to new beginnings, to resilience, and to the unwavering spirit of hard work. Onward, indeed! And of course - book your appointment to have your vehicle rust-proofed at Airways Krown at https://lnkd.in/gHeFtMSt

Let's make our own luck by seizing new opportunities and boldly pursuing our goals. Cheers to growth and success! · · · #BusinessGrowth #MarketingStrategy #KeystoneClick
