I think the biggest key to success is surrounding yourself with people who inspire you. Last night I was in a room full of people that inspire me every day to be better not only for myself, but for my clients. This past year with New York Life has developed my professionalism in ways I never imagined, and I can’t wait to see what my team and I accomplish in 2024. We’re just getting started ✨🏆 #newyorklife #2024kickoff #financialservices

As a consultant, I see firsthand how curiosity drives success for the candidates I work with. It’s that curiosity that leads them to explore fresh ideas, ask tough questions and never stop learning. When we stay curious, we start uncovering opportunities others often miss, finding ways to adapt in an ever-changing market, and innovating solutions that make us stand out. One of my recent candidates, who had spent years in restaurant management, found themselves stuck in an industry that no longer aligned with their personal goals but the change was daunting. Through our lengthy conversations, his willingness to explore unfamiliar territory, and stay curious, we opened doors he didn’t even know existed. That curiosity helped him realize the transferable skills he had from managing a restaurant, like leadership, customer service, and operations, were perfect for running a particular franchise.   Introducing Martin to the That 1 Painter franchise was quite the eye opener for him. A booming industry, low investment with a huge commitment to excellence and community. Martin was more excited than ever to leave behind the chaos of restaurant life for better quality of life and control of his time. Martin is already hard at work on his new venture in Jacksonville, FL and I have no doubt with his skills and determination he will have great success in no time. In my experience, the most successful entrepreneurs are those who embrace curiosity—not just to grow their business, but to grow personally as well. Stay curious my friends and if you want to start exploring a new path to success let’s connect. #BeYourOwnBoss #Entrepreneurship #ExploreFranchising #FutureOfWork #FranchiseConsultant #Franchising

Building a Strong Shooting Sports Culture Shooting sports are more than just skill; they represent discipline, precision, and mental resilience. A thriving sports culture doesn’t happen overnight—it’s nurtured through passion, mentorship, and access to quality infrastructure. To build a sustainable future for shooting sports, we must invest in more than just equipment. We need to create an environment where athletes can grow, learn, and inspire the next generation. This requires not only training and coaching but also a community that supports, celebrates, and elevates the sport. By developing world-class facilities and fostering a culture of learning and excellence, we pave the way for future champions.
