It's been a long few weeks leading up to this past Thanksgiving holiday and soon the Yule season will be upon us. I have been extremely busy but I will say I make the time to visit this site on a near daily basis. The 9 Towers has been a great place for me to find like minded individuals to give me encouragement and foster new ideas. Recently I was given a great piece of advice from Bryan and expanded upon by Everte, where they pointed me in a direction for my financial coaching endeavors. Now I had thought of this in the past, but it was their nudging that made me reach out and contact a woman in charge of the Michigan Re-Entry Program, a program for prisoners being released to society. And it was the perfect timing because she said they were just talking about needing a program similar to the one I was proposing. I need to reach out and touch base with her again as it has been a couple weeks. I sent her a copy of my workbook and a brief description of what I do. The point being that this was made possible by this group giving me ideas and advice. When we surround ourselves with like minded individuals we are able to achieve so much more and get that necessary movement needed to create motivation. Because movement creates motivation, not the other way around. We are all here looking to create better lives. To be more successful. Forget that "rugged individualism" nonsense. The lone wolf barely survives. It is only as a member of a pack that it thrives. Use the knowledge of this pack. I have and it is already moving me towards better things!
