Happy #MotivationalMonday (11/30/20) #DefiniteDozen Arguably one of the most successful coaches in Collegiate history, Pat Summit, accrued a record of 1,098–208 (.841) with the University of Tennessee, including eight National Championships. Is a coach who is this successful really good at X’s and O’s, recruiting the best players, and/or building the best staff? I believe it is a little of all three. BUT, more importantly, a great coach builds a team atmosphere and a winning

Happy #MotivationalMonday (11/23/20) #Appreciate Today would have been my dad’s 69th birthday! There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of him. My advice this week, appreciate those in your life you care about and value your time together. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy #MotivationalMonday (11/16/20) #Believe Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. Fear and doubt can keep us from accomplishing so many things that we are capable of doing. It can cause us to experience failure when success was there for the taking. I know I have had dreams and goals that have been squandered by my own self-doubt and insecurities. However, I have also had times where I put self-doubt aside and experienced tremendous success as a result. When you find th

Happy #MotivationalMonday (11/09/20) #Attitude There is so much that can be said about this! Attitude can have such an impact on your day to day life. Your attitude reflects your perspective. You may be just a small cat; but if you, instead, view yourself as a lion, your possibilities are limitless. I really like Charles Swindoll’s perspective on attitude. He said, “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than f

Happy #MotivationalMonday (11/02/20) #Patience Sometimes we are our own worst enemy! Why? Because we demand great results in a short time with little to no setbacks. Unfortunately, that’s just not how life works; it is full setbacks and adversity. Life demands a patient, but strong, approach to being successful. You have to embrace the bad as well as the good moments. When you do that, you are going to cherish the blooms life has to offer. David Bultema - Founder & Executive

Happy #MotivationalMonday (10/28/20) #Encouragement Sorry this is late, but nevertheless a message we all need now. There is so much negativity surrounding us that it can quickly get us down. Be willing to encourage others and be a positive aspect of someone’s day!

Happy #MotivationalMonday (10/19/20) #Work Talk is cheap! So many times we talk about our dreams and goals but we don’t really have an action plan in progress to accomplish them. Your action plan should have a strong “why” which pushes you to act, show, and prove. Today is a great day to start this action!

Happy #MotivationalMonday (10/12/20) #Perspective Last week, I introduced my Teen Leadership class to the story of Inky Johnson. His perspective on life’s circumstances is something we can all learn from. He was projected to make millions as an NFL first-round draft pick in 2006. He planned to use his success in football to make a better life for his family. His family was his “Why,” and football was his “How”. That same year, he sustained a career-ending injury and completel

Happy #MotivationalMonday (10/5/20) #OvercomingFailure I disagree with the road sign message in this photo. It is suggesting that one must choose success OR failure. My belief, and many others share this belief, is that success AND failure are on the same street! You will very rarely have a 100% success rate, so overcoming failure to find success is a critical step in the process. I realize this can be easier said than done, but here are four essential steps to overcoming

Happy #MotivationalMonday (09/28/20) #Impact This is simple, but so true. It is important that we are conscientious of how we treat others. A small gesture can make a huge impact on someone, and that impact is not easily forgotten. How are people remembering you? Check out this short video clip exhibiting how the impact one person can have on others. https://www.facebook.com/inkyjohnson/videos/656569844972207/?vh=e&extid=kSzGbnYK8GmYxXwQ David Bultema - Founder & Executive Di
