First Dink Foundation’s Post

Going for the brass ring means striving for something of great value. 🔔 The term originates from early 20th-century fairground carousels, where riders could grab brass rings for prizes. For me, 'going for the brass ring' could mean anything from earning a promotion, achieving a high leadership role, securing a starting spot on a varsity team, to having an MVP season in professional sports. 🌟🏆 Whatever your 'brass ring,' remember it won’t just fall into your lap; you must commit to doing the work to earn it. 💪🥇 #Author #BusinessBooks #TheValueEquation #ChrisVolk #BrassRing #WealthBuilding #BusinessModel #BusinessStrategy #FinancialLiteracy #EntrepreneurMindset #BusinessManagement

The more I learn about VEL, the more I understand its significance. It’s not a networking group, or a lead generating service or a pay-to-play opportunity. VEL is a choice. If each person is a balloon, and tied to that balloon are our fears, failures, anxieties and doubt - all the different things that keep that balloon from reaching new heights - VEL can help you choose to cut those things loose. They don’t do the cutting or even act as the scissors. You do the work, but VEL helps you understand where and how to start. As the balloon climbs, a greater perspective is found. One that shows more of the road ahead and the purpose behind the effort. “Discovering Parts Within” is the cornerstone program VEL stands on. It welcomes a very small amount of candidates each year. It’s only goal is to help particiants cut their balloons loose. It’s the same style of instruction our founder has provided to NASA and executives across multiple industries. Love to tell you more. We have three spots left for the next DPW session. #heyfahey #velinstitute #purpose
