Howdy! I hope everyone is doing well! I'll probably be out of pocket for a while longer. Dad had surgery last Tuesday and did well but had major complications 2 days later. Had to have emergency surgery to remove massive blood clots in lungs and has had lot's of complications since. He took a turn for the worse Saturday, blood pressure tanked, blood clots throughout his body, pneumonia trying to set in, etc. He is more stable now but still in critical condition.
Came home last night to get resupplied and parents car broke down at 11 pm 14 degrees with a lightweight jacket, burr.
Now I'm headed to retrieve said car and make arrangements to relieve mom and sis. It's an exciting life 😊

# # # Get Ready to Network in Person: Here's Why You Should!

Networking—does the very word give you chills or thrills? Whether you're an extrovert who thrives on social interactions or an introvert who prefers the quiet confines of your own space, there's no denying that networking is a crucial skill for personal and professional growth. So, buckle up and read on to find out why YOU need to be ready to network in person. Let's make networking less of a chore and more of an opportunity! 🌟

First things first, face-to-face interactions have a unique magic that digital connections simply can't replicate. When you meet someone in person, you can engage all your senses, from handshakes (or fist bumps 🙌) to eye contact and body language. These non-verbal cues build stronger relationships, leaving a lasting impression. Think about it—how many times have you misinterpreted a text message or email? In-person networking drastically reduces these misunderstandings, creating a more authentic and genuine connection. It's the difference between a canned LinkedIn message and a hearty laugh shared over coffee!

Next up, networking in person opens doors to spontaneous opportunities that just don’t happen online. Imagine attending a professional conference where you strike up a casual conversation with a stranger in the lunch line. Little did you know, that ‘stranger’ happens to be the hiring manager at your dream company or a potential client who's been searching for exactly what you offer. These serendipitous moments can lead to unexpected job offers, business partnerships, or even mentorship opportunities. As they say, sometimes it's all about being in the right place at the right time. And trust me, your couch is rarely that right place. 😉

Finally, in-person networking events give you the chance to hone your social skills. You may be a whizz at crafting the perfect email, but nothing beats having quick wit and charm in actual conversations. These live interactions prepare you for high-stakes situations like interviews, presentations, and public speaking engagements. Plus, they're fantastic practice grounds for mastering the art of small talk. So, next time you find yourself in an elevator with the CEO of your company, you won't break into a cold sweat. Instead, you'll casually discuss your latest project or share some witty banter. 🎤 Drop!

So there you have it, folks! Networking in person offers invaluable benefits—stronger connections, serendipitous opportunities, and sharpened social skills. Now, I'm not saying ditch those digital connections completely; they have their own merits. But don't underestimate the power of personal touch. So go on, get out there and network your way to new heights. You never know, your next big break might be just a handshake away!

Hey everyone! 🙌 Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s often seen as the villain in our stories: failure. Cue the dramatic music! 🎶 But here’s a plot twist—failure doesn't have to be our foe. In fact, it can be one of our greatest teachers. Let’s break down why we shouldn't fear failure and how embracing it can help us grow.

First off, let’s get real about something: Everyone fails. From the most successful entrepreneur to the newest intern, we've all had our fair share of stumbles and faceplants. Failure is a universal experience, and avoiding it at all costs is like trying to keep chocolate out of s’mores—not gonna happen! When we fail, we learn valuable lessons we would never get from just skating by on easy street. For instance, Thomas Edison famously failed 1,000 times before inventing the light bulb. Imagine if he had given up at Failure #999. We'd all still be reading by candlelight!

Secondly, failure builds resilience. Every time we trip over a hurdle, we become a bit tougher and a lot wiser. Think of failure as your personal coach, shouting from the sidelines that you need to push harder, think differently, or plan better. It’s like going to the gym but for your mind and spirit. 💪 Ever heard of Sara Blakely? She's the CEO of Spanx and faced rejection and failure repeatedly before her product took off. Her resilience turned her into a billionaire. So next time life knocks you down, just imagine it’s setting you up for your “Spanx moment.”

Lastly, let’s talk about how failure fosters innovation. After all, necessity is the mother of invention, right? When Plan A doesn’t work, we’re forced to think creatively and come up with Plans B, C, and D until something clicks. Many groundbreaking innovations were born out of failure. Post-it Notes, for example, were a result of a failed attempt to create a super-strong adhesive. When scientist Spencer Silver’s glue didn’t stick, he could’ve thrown in the lab coat—but instead, he figured out a different use for his “failure,” and now we have sticky notes to organize the chaos of life. 📝

So, in conclusion, let’s flip the script on failure. Sure, it’s uncomfortable and sometimes downright embarrassing, but it's also an incredible opportunity for growth. Next time you find yourself fearing failure, remember: it’s a stepping stone, not a stumbling block. Embrace it, learn from it, and let it make you stronger, smarter, and even more unstoppable. 💥

Now, go out there and fail spectacularly—you might just invent the next big thing! 🚀
