A few days ago I was speaking to an audience of business owners about the topic of time management, how to gain back more time in life and use it more efficiently. Time is of the essence and we don't have a whole bunch of it. The saying, "Time Flies" rings through my ears often. That's why it's so important to BE FEARLESS in all that you want to do. Time is the one commodity that we can never get back. So live with passion. A friend wrote me this short poem before I spoke and I forgot to share it with everyone there so I thought it would only be right if I shared it to the world. Here it is...
"There once was a man named Nathan
Who wanted to formulate a plan
To help all the people he loved
Who didn't have enough time on their hands.
He came up with a formula
When finished knew his time was well spent
He was now ready to unveil and share
His secret on time management.
He laid out the steps one by one
And went through carefully each process
And knew in his heart, when the people smiled
That he had contributed to everyone's success.
Now his people had the skills
He had taught them a better way
To accomplish more thing within their lives
And have more successful days!"

It's moments like these that make me remember the start up days. The days where I would dream about the day of touching lives in a manner that was enjoyable and rewarding to me. Now as I write this I can say, once again, that dreams really do come true. I love what I do. I love what I give. I look forward to the future.
