Week Two…

Starting something big is like riding a big wave while surfing. When you first catch the wave and get up on your board, everyone cheers. It’s an amazing experience and you feel heady and excited. Of course, you know there are always some folks out there who are cheering to see you wipe out, but honestly, those folks are easy to forget about. It is the ride that is exciting, and the force of the wave is going to push you forward regardless — just like life.

What most people never think about is that you still had to paddle out. You had to put yourself in a position to be able to ride that wave, have all your equipment ready, and be healthy. You had to paddle out, and have the right mindset and motivation to ride that wave.

Hunting for a new position or career is often about the preparation to be in the right position. We are committed to putting the waves of opportunity in front of you — week after week after week, year after year. We only ask one small favor, share this with anyone you know who benefit from reading this newsletter and receiving its content, now or in the future!

Thank you,

Dave and Kevin
