I often get asked why White & Co Real Estate LLC ? What made me decide to go with their offer when I had offers from other companies ❓ The decision was made once I had my first interview with Jodi Thompson. Jodi described the culture, the support system, the training and everything that Calum White had built. My mind was made up 🙌🏻 For me, it was a new career path, a change in a different direction where I could allow my entrepreneurial spirit flow without the over heads and stress of my own business that I previously experienced. I closed my business to focus on my career with White&Co and I have absolutely no regrets. My biggest worry when choosing what company to work with was the support system, I didn’t want to be just another stat, another bum on a chair where you have to start billing to be noticed. I wanted to feel like I had someone to run to with any issue for guidance and support. In the time that I’ve been here the workforce has almost doubled, for some of the people that have been here longer than me it has tripled. But what makes this company great is that even with all the new faces, the same support system is still there, still flourishing and still hitting bigger targets month on month.

🏆 Awards: A Valuable Recognition or Just a Good Time? Reflecting on my past experiences, awards ceremonies have held significant meaning. As a former multiple site gym owner with Anytime Fitness UK, each annual conference and awards ceremony was a moment of immense pride for myself and my team. Winning several awards over the years remains a cherished memory, with those trophies proudly displayed in my home office years after i exited the franchise. On the flip side, in my role at Comar Fluid Power, winning the supplier of the year award from a major aerospace company was an exhilarating moment. However, it came with unexpected constraints. Despite beating out numerous competitors, we were prohibited from publicising our achievement to maintain fairness in future bidding processes. This raised questions about the true value of such awards if they couldn't be celebrated openly. Personally, I believe awards serve as a meaningful acknowledgment of effort, dedication, and value. Yet, the proliferation of awards for the sake of recognition alone seems to be on the rise. However, one cannot deny the positive impact of awards ceremonies on team morale and camaraderie. In conclusion, while awards may sometimes come with limitations or mixed sentiments, I remain a fan. They not only recognise accomplishments but also foster a sense of community and appreciation. Let's continue to celebrate achievements while navigating the complexities that come with them. Here's a picture of an award I have won multiple times 🙃 #Awards #Recognition #TeamMorale #Achievements 🌟

What a fantastic first weekend of the Six Nations! Being Welsh, I couldn't be prouder of our second-half performance. After the retirement of legends like Alun Wyn Jones and the early departure of talents such as Louis Rees-Zammit, Wales faced a significant challenge. We were a team of fresh faces, including Wales's youngest ever captain. The first half was tough. Entering the dressing rooms 27 points down, I'll be honest, I had doubts. Especially against a Scotland team that's among the best I've seen in my lifetime. But the second half was a different story. It gave me goosebumps and had me shouting at the TV, just like my grandad used to do. Despite losing by just one point, the young Welsh squad's performance was memorable. Their grit, determination, and discipline were incredible. As I'm stepping into the world of business ownership and reflecting on my years as a self-employed financial planner, this game reminded me of a crucial life lesson. Life can be tough, but success is always within reach. Rocky Balboa eloquently captured this sentiment, "It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." Taking cue from Rocky's powerful message, and Wales's performance, I extend a heartfelt shout-out to anyone grappling with adversity: I've walked in those shoes. The road of resilience might be paved with setbacks, but remember, it's never about the falls we take; it's about our persistence to rise, time and again, that truly shapes our journey. As we embark on this week, let's arm ourselves with unwavering determination. No matter the challenges ahead, remember we are built to withstand, to overcome, and to thrive. Here's to pushing beyond our limits and embracing the victories waiting for us on the other side. #Resilience #SixNationsRugby #Leadership #Motivation #NeverGiveUp

As a Veterati Ambassador, I would like to be the first to congratulate Mark Sullivan, as our newest Veterati Rockstar, who just completed his first 100 hours of volunteer mentoring calls with transitioning active duty, #veterans and #milspouses. Please give him a warm welcome as the 73rd  member of the #veteratirockstars club. I cannot stress enough that no one should be transitioning alone when there are platforms like Veterati that supply on-demand mentors like Mark. To highlight the quality of mentors available to you, I maintain the attached #veteratirockstars list. If you are active duty, #veteran or a #milspouse in need of transition mentoring, these are examples of the high quality mentors waiting to assist you. Sign up today at www.veterati.com. It takes less than 15 minutes to sign up and you will be glad you did. In this edition of the list, you will note that I have marked a number of the rockstars as inactive. In the majority of cases, their accounts have been inactive since the veterati system crashed and they are not aware their accounts are inactive. If you would like to speak to one of these mentors, you will have to contact them via LinkedIn and ask them to reactivate their veterati account. While this may be an extra step, I know these veteran advocates will gladly do what it takes to talk to you. + + + + #mentoring  #militarytransition #militaryintransition + + + + Susan Scotts David Trenholm Tom Z.
