The Miracle of a New Start We recently had our first grandson, who will carry on the Ferrari name and legacy. We’ve discovered that grandkids are so much fun. I heard someone say the other day, “If I knew how fun grandkids were, I would have had them first.” 😂 This is our 2nd grandchild, but it’s still a very new and exciting experience to welcome him into our family. It reminds me of the new and fresh starts we get at life each day. No matter how many times you’ve been around the sun, each day is a new opportunity to learn from the past to propel you into your dream future. It seems nearly everyone says “Life is short”. When I was young, I didn’t believe it. It seemed like an eternity waiting to be old enough to get a driver’s license. As I’ve gotten older, each year seems to be flying by faster. They were right…life really is short. So what are you going to do with your one life? “How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. - James 4:14 NLT Consider your history a catalog of lessons learned. Don’t dwell on the past, except to use it to improve your future with better intentions, better habits, better choices, and better dreams. Each day brings a new chance, a new opportunity, and a new habit that you can start to change the direction of your life.   What will you do with your new daily chance?

🚗 Second Day at Audi North Austin 🚗 Today marked my second day on the job, and while I didn't close any sales, it was an incredibly valuable experience! I learned more about the vehicles, took them for test drives, and got to know my amazing co-workers better. The team environment here is fantastic—everyone genuinely wants to see you succeed. 🌟 I greeted my first customers today, and despite my initial hesitation, they gave positive feedback to my manager. Their kind words were a confidence boost I really needed. Key Takeaways: Honesty and Humility: Be upfront about what you know and don't know. People appreciate honesty and a willingness to learn. Team Support: A supportive team environment makes all the difference. Push Past Hesitation: Sometimes you need to move forward, even when you're unsure. You never know what you're capable of until you try. Thankful for the opportunity to grow and learn, and grateful to God for keeping me calm under pressure. 🙏 #NewBeginnings #AudiNorthAustin #LearningAndGrowing #SalesJourney #Grateful

👉🏻Have you ever noticed how, once you start thinking about something specific, you suddenly see it everywhere?? Which is sometimes referred as “red car theory". So Red car theory is; Imagine you decide to buy a red car. Suddenly, you start seeing red cars everywhere. It's not that there are more red cars than before; you're just more tuned to noticing them. So this Red car theory not just applies for cars 🚗 but also in our professional and personal lives too. By shifting our focus, training our minds, staying open and curious to opportunities, taking actions, staying consistent, building networks - we can seize the opportunity! #opportunities #redcartheory

I love concept cars. I really do! But being a product person I have a couple of suggestions if you are bringing one to CES: 1) be clear about what it does and what new features it brings, otherwise it’s just eye candy but no one will get it 2) this is a consumer show, let people in the car and let them try it. Don’t put security on it so no one can even get close. 3) bring people from your product or engineering team to have interesting conversations, not random helpers that were locally hired and know nothing about the company or the product Thank you The consumers

What I learned by accidentally giving away someone's Porsche... It's the Summer of 2009. I arrive in Baton Rouge, LA to attend LSU. I get a job as a valet driver for a hotel downtown. This role doesn't come with a ton of formal training...the key system, how to write a tag, where and when you park what cars where. That was about it. My co-workers were from all walks...some had been in the valet game for years, some more transitory, and the rest were young people trying to make a buck. I learned so many lessons from this 3 month stint but one experience sticks out. _____ We sometimes had an event at the hotel and offered short-term valet. This was an intense burst of activity and absolute windfall. Picture a line of 20+ cars down the block waiting to be parked while 2-4 of us ran as fast as we could. The cycle would repeat a few hours later after the event. It's my first event rush during Day 3 on the job. I'm doing everything I can to keep up with greeting people, driving carefully, and running back down the garage ramps as fast as I could to get back for the next one. Event lets out and people start flowing to the valet stand. I get a tag, grab keys, and run. It was always fun to "get lucky" with a luxury vehicle. In this case a Porsche Cayenne. I hop in and realize it was in Standard...you know with the small paddles behind the wheel...and I didn't know how to switch to Auto...or how to properly drive the thing in Standard. But time was wasting! I could run back and tell someone I couldn't drive the car(non-starter for my 18 y/o brain) or try to figure it out. Fast forward after what felt like a lifetime and I'm screaming around the corner...at 5 MPH in first gear. I get to the curb, likely looking flustered and only focused on not ruining the car. I hand over the keys, guy gets in, and drives away. I breathe a huge sigh of relief. Until I turn around and look at the valet stand... 𝙏𝙪𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣! 𝗣.𝗦. - This job is actually one of the main reasons I ended up in commercial real estate a decade later. More on that in another post. Fly ELIFIN® #sales #cre #realestate

A Lesson from the Track! Hearing about Lewis Hamilton leaving Mercedes for Ferrari really hit home for me. After an incredible 11-year journey, Hamilton's move is a testament to the courage required to leave familiar grounds in pursuit of new challenges and growth. "Mercedes has been part of my life since I was 13 years old... making the decision to leave was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make," echo the sentiments many of us feel when we step out of our comfort zones. Hamilton's journey is a powerful reminder that to reach our full potential, we must get comfortable with being uncomfortable. It's in the unknown that we find room to grow, innovate, and truly flourish. His move is not just a change of teams; it's a statement about pursuing excellence, no matter the uncertainty ahead. I see the value in embracing change, taking calculated risks, and always striving for excellence. It's a philosophy that has guided me through the challenges of entrepreneurship and one that continues to inspire me every day. As we navigate our own careers, let's not settle for the familiar simply because it's comfortable. Let's dare to dream, to push beyond our limits, and to pursue those dreams with the same determination and courage as Hamilton. 🏎 #careergrowth #embracechange

We love making fun of people, don't we? 🏈 Super Bowl season is upon us, and each year, brands pull out all the stops to leave a lasting impression, and we're here to spotlight these creative masterpieces. Starting today, we'll be sharing one standout ad each day to highlight the ingenious campaigns that accompany the big game. Kicking off our series is BMW's latest Super Bowl commercial, "Talking Like Walken," featuring the iconic Christopher Walken, alongside the multi-talented Usher and Ashley Park. This ad takes us on a journey with Walken as he navigates his day, humorously frustrated by people attempting to imitate his unique voice. The appearance of Park and Super Bowl 58's halftime performer, Usher, adds a vibrant layer to the narrative. This commercial not only showcases BMW's innovative approach to advertising but also marks the launch of the all-new BMW 5 Series and the first-ever 100% electric BMW i5. Marcus Casey, BMW's Chief Marketing Officer, shared with USA TODAY the strategic thinking behind their Super Bowl return, emphasizing the importance of timing, product launches, and having the perfect concept to make a significant impact on such a grand stage. https://lnkd.in/d4X_EEZX #SuperBowlAds #BMW #ChristopherWalken #MarketingStrategy #AdvertisingExcellence #SuperBowlLVIII

Retirement is tricky... It's much like owning a classic Porsche. Just as a Porsche is meticulously crafted for peak performance and luxury, a career is built with dedication and hard work. Over the years, both require maintenance and care to ensure they run smoothly. As the years pass, the value of both a career and a Porsche increases, not just in monetary terms but in the richness of memories and experiences. I'll never get tired of being surrounded by friends, family, timeless cars, and clients always ready to embrace the next chapter of life with Revision Wealth Management.
