This 4th of July are you fighting for your Independence Day?

The 4th of July is always a terrific holiday. We get together with family and friends and celebrate our nation’s independence. There is so much to celebrate!

Freedom is something at times we take for granted but should also cherish. We are free to do what we want and have opportunities that others wish they only had. Sometimes we do not see the opportunity because it is right in front of us.

We have to have that same fight when it comes to our freedom. To be free of a daily job! Free of a daily boss! Free of doing something we do not want to do! We know we can do better. We know we are destined for great things but we need to fight the obstacles and over come whatever is holding us back.

At your day job if your boss told you to get a buyers list of 10 buyers by the end of the day - YOU WOULD!

If your boss told you to get 3 realtors to send you listings of properties by the end of the day - YOU WOULD!

If your boss told you that you had to find the best properties every week and make 5 offers - YOU WOULD!

Well it's time to fight for your Independence!!!

Do you have a goal for your own Independence Day???

What is the price of your freedom worth to you?

Would you like to leave that day job?

When are you going to declare your independence from that day job?

Often people do not appreciate what others can do until they are gone. This is true in the workplace and sometimes even at home.

Many employers believe that everyone can be replaced. This is true, everyone can be replaced but does the next person to replace you have the same ethics, credibility, drive, motivation, creativity and work ethic that you might have?

I often think about the quote from the holiday movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” Clarence the Angel tells George.......“Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?”

Therefore, each day do one thing to get you closer to your dreams because if you do today what others are not willing to do, then tomorrow you can do those things that others are only dreaming about doing!

Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Happy 4th of July to all DG Members! I hope you and your family have a safe holiday with plenty of fun, food, festivals and fireworks!!!

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

By Francis Scott Key 1814
