What keeps you motivated?

The answer to that question for many are family and/or money. For me, it’s love and purpose. I know this sounds philosophical, but I’m very intrinsically motivated. Don’t get me wrong, family and money are important. And a large part of what I do is for those two reasons. But, if I had to be honest with myself, the man reason for me accomplishing most of my goals is because I care about people.

When I interact with people, I have a tendency to put myself in their shoes. I ask questions why did you make this decision? How do you feel about your current situation? I mean the list of questions go on and on.

No one told me to think this way. It is something that I inherently and innately do without any primer. I’ve always been a genuinely good guy. Never wanted to take from anyone or hurt anyone.

With that being said, what motivates me may not do it for you. However, it is important to be motivated.

One of the things I don’t like about some people is their personality of not being motivated. It’s nothing like being around someone who has no drive, motivation, and passion. If you are going to be homeless, have a plan to get out homelessness with a motivated heart.

Now, I know everyone has their own situations and I’m not here to judge anyone. My belief is that if you get up in the morning with a drive to make your life or someone else’s life better then you are wasting your time.

Motivation is something that is personal to you. No one can give it to you or take it away. Some people are waiting on someone to light them like a candle. Motivation is about you doing what you were put on this earth to accomplish. This not someone else’s dream. It’s yours!

Takeaways:

Motivation is something that is personal to you. No one can give it to you or take it away.

How to handle your divorce?

Going through a divorce is never an easy process to initiate. I’ve been through one. You make a vow to stick with someone for the rest of your life. And then all of sudden, you find yourself arguing everyday and totally loathing the presence of the person.  So I’m writing this blog post to hopefully help others who are thinking about going through this process; or those who have started the process already.   I handle a few divorce cases and I’ve learned prearranged agreement is always better. I think too many times spouses are wanting to get the most out of a divorce. But, in the process they drain their personal finances. People see a lot of high-net-worth individuals on social media and television getting divorces. You see the ridiculous amounts of money for child support and alimony.  However, in everyday life, people don’t have access to millions of dollars and multibillion dollar companies.  With that being said, my encouragement a lawyer is to make sure you to work out an agreem

When a founder leaves from a legal perspective?

In a world of venture capitalism, tech company selling, and Shark Tank; it is important to make sure that the transition is done well legally.  Not too many founders and/or acquiring companies think the transitioning through regarding a founder leaving the company. When the founder of a business leaves, there are several legal considerations to keep in mind in order to keep the business going.   And when we mean keeping the business going, we are taking about growth. As we all know, that if you aren’t growing, you are dying. Succession Planning: Having a plan in place for when the founder leaves can help ensure a smooth transition and minimize disruption to the business. This may include designating a successor, creating a buy-sell agreement, or establishing a board of directors. Review of Contracts: Make sure to review any contracts that the founder was party to and determine if there are any provisions that may be affected by their departure.   Not too many times do companies t

When your hardwork isn't paying off?

 How many times have we felt like we’ve been beating our head against a wall?  When your hard work isn't paying off, it can be helpful to step back and reassess your approach. Here are a few things you can try: Set specific, measurable goals: Make sure you know what you're working towards and how you'll know when you've achieved it. Get feedback: Ask for feedback from others and use it to improve.  However, it is important to make sure you get feedback from ‘right’ person. I mean, you know what they say about opinions. But, if you have the right team around you, it might be useful to gain feedback.  Learn from failure: Failure can be a valuable learning opportunity. Don't be afraid to take risks and experiment.  Some might say ‘fail fast.’ I recommend to at least execute on something.  Stay positive and focus on progress: Remember that progress, not perfection, is the goal.  If you refer back to the ‘set specific, measurable goals.’ I think too many people fail in l
