Good Morning, Everybody! As I was deciding what to write about for this week’s mojo, it was kind of hard to pass up the Preakness…given that a GIRL won (first time in 85 years!) and all. Not to mention that a winning jockey can win regardless of the horse – definitely LOTS of mojo there.

But, there was another world class event that eclipsed the Preakness in my mind this weekend. That would be the Lytle Law 5k. All I can say is WOW. This is the 3rd race, and it is truly amazing to have watched this event grow from less than 100 runners to I lost count at 700+. Dewey and his crew served up well over 1,000 dogs and burgers. Not only did the Lytle team put on a show (complete with the Kevin Tully band as awesome entertainment, and Vic Rondinelli and Mike Wallisch leading the parade on their Harleys – to a K-9 show and a fire truck!), but they raised over $15,000 for Children’s Hospital of the Kings Daughters. It was truly a first class race in every regard, and I can’t remember ever being prouder of Brian.

So, my mojo to you this morning is this – ya gotta dream big…build it and they will come. And, realize that the seeds you plant this year – as long as you water and tend them – will grow into the fruit of next year and the year after. Deliver a great experience, promote yourself, and word of mouth (with a little help from FACEBOOK) will make sure that your race grows into a world class event. It will take on a life of its own, and become more successful each year. That’s the best part of our business – if you lay a solid foundation (which takes a lot of hard work and faith), the results will build for years to come.

Take a long view of your personal race this week – what activities can you engage in that will pay off in the future? How about setting aside some time to PLAN how you can touch your favorite 20 clients in the next 2 weeks?
