It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through. - Zig Ziglar

I’ve always had a habit of beating myself up for not doing enough, or not doing something good enough. As an adult I remember saying to my mother “why didn’t you push me harder when I was in school?” and her response was, “you were so hard on yourself I just couldn’t do it”. I look at my 2 year old business and think, “it should be doing this” or “it should be doing that by now” but when I think back to January ’08  to where I am now and the projects I have accomplished and am working on today it is quite mind blowing what I have achieved...especially because I've always been someone to stop in my tracks when I got to something that was too hard, too confusing, or too scary.   I love the above quote by Zig Ziglar…it is so true, that when you take action and have the discipline (and determination) to follow through you will get an end result. 
 

When I think about the big picture for Primo and the dreams I have for the business I get so overwhelmed and think I can’t possibly get there, but I realize that every day I get out of bed and my discipline moves me to action it always brings me one step closer to the bigger picture.

A few weeks ago I got out of bed and went to sell t-shirts at an event, I started telling people that I was doing motivational speaking (even though I hadn't started or knew anything about it yet), someone asked me to speak to their group, I faced my fears, jumped in with 2 feet (like Primo) and did it! I now know what it looks like to speak to a group and have opened up a whole new avenue in the Primo business. Although I have a lot to learn and perfect , the fun, excitement, comfort, and ease I felt speaking to a large group confirms that I am doing exactly what God has intended for me.

I seem to be surrounded by graduating Seniors, I feel so envious of the time on their hands. If only I could instill my wisdom in them so they would truly know that they have the world in their hands right now. If they make good decisions and work hard, face their fears, do things others aren't willing to do, and believe in themselves they can truly do or be whatever they set their minds to. What stinks is that so often we don’t know what it is we want to do at that age and even beyond... just not fair...hmm, more of lifes unexplained lessons.

Speaking of lessons, here's my latest realization...obviously something I already new but finally decided to start living---

Success:Only YOU can define what that means!!! What does being successful mean to you? Stop comparing yourself to others and with action and discipline you can create a life of happiness and success suited just for you! ...just a thought.

"Persevere and believe is what she will do

to achieve those things she sets her mind to--
With peace in her heart all is in place--

The where, the what, the who’s she won’t chase"
 –From the PrimoDonna Poem

I regret that I don’t have any photos from my first speaking engagement to the Girl Scout leaders and their daughters but I do have a few from the 3^rd annual Rock Star Fundraiser.  The event was a lot of fun and the boys raised lots of money for their friend in the neighborhood battleing MS. Check out the co-branded t-shirts!!  Primo Lady also got her hands on the mic to give away some "I Found My Primo" Award Certificates for the talent show contestants.
