Welcome to my leadership blog. Ideas have consequences and the goal of this blog is to discuss ideas of consequence. Some ideas you may agree with and some you may disagree. No worries. The only rules are that you post under your own name and that you think and discuss in a civil manner. People who attack others only prove they have reached the limit of their logic. The Bible states, "Iron sharpens iron" and we will sharpen one another by what we read, write and think. The goal of this blog is to help us identify and follow truth in all areas of our lives. I encourage you to join our leadership discussion and transform yourself and others through the renewing of our minds.

What else to call it? Why would you support something you dont believe in? Would you give money to stuff you dont believe in? Most of us haven't conquered Steven Covey's first habit of being proactive instead of reactive. I can see me being reactive until I decide to change to proactive and stop letting my emotional experiences control my responses. It's not only Mr. Orrin Woodward saying what he says, it's Steven Covey, it's Earl Nightengale, it's Norman vincent Peale, it's Zig Ziglar, " Help enough other people get what they want and you will get what you want". Sure they say it in their own words. Ask yourself if you think Donald Trump would put up with what Orrin and Chris and countless other people have put up with in their previous business? Donald Trump would say "this one's easy" "I should fire myself for even having you around, your fired". Ask anyone whos parents owned land or business's in Cuba what it's like to have your wealth nationalized by the government, which is in effect what happened to Orrin and Chris, only by a company. Do you think those people will ever forget?? Your personal achievements are stolen. Would you like to be a dairy farmer and have someone come into your barn and steal your milk 7 days a week from cows you've loveingly raised from birth. Cows that you feed and personally take care of 24 hours a day? Cows that you provide playgrounds for, housing, free medical care, free food of the highest quality nutrition wise? How would you feel? PS - Dairy farmers are having their milk stolen from them by middlemen and law makers who try to control the economy. Like Jack Nicholson said in that movie with tom cruise- "you can't handle the truth". Are we going to hide our heads in the sand? Or follow a leader? The USA is heading quickly towards a two class society. The poor and those that are not. Cost are rising and many people are slacking and looking for the free ride on the government nickel but expecting to be treated like kings. I can remember Dexter saying " my day is all I got" He couldn't understand those of us who complain about our jobs but blow our free time on entertainment. Look at it this way, these two guys committed themselves to this and in 14 years look where they have come. Look how many lives they have changed for the better. where do you want to be in 14 years? If we olny achieve a 10th of what they have done would it be worth it? Look at Tiger Woods- when do you think the next Tiger woods will come along? When someone starts at a young age doing what he did. Does Tiger teach leadership and golf? I dont know. Does Orrin teach leadership, people helping and life building? The answer is obvious? Maybe we should take more of what he says to heart and put it into actions. My two cents.
