I am recharged!!

I am here in Atlanta, at the 5linx national convention. First of all, I haven't been to this city since the early 90's and WOW, what a great development has happened here in the past 20 years.

Lately to be honest, we got a bit of burnout(we havent posted here since March) from school, work, children, church etc... I just want to encourage you to get some encouragement!! Sometimes you have to go away to get recharged and get re-energized by others. There may be a cost to travel and to go to training and mentoring seminars. But if you can convert that motivation into action, it will more than pay for itself.

Living in Detroit many times its like a sucking and draining on your energy, soul, and spirit! In the past two week we have had a cop, grandmother, 2 children, and several teens killed in our community. Its easy to become cynical, yet I do not care because I am a minister, but I am a minister because I care. So in other words, these things affect me, even though I did not know any of these people.

So I am excited that I came this weekend!!! Its a blessing to just be around positive people for a change. Yes many of those here have been laid off, are burned out, tired of working, tired of family and kids, stressed by financials and running businesses just like the rest of us. However, they are not letting their situations define their mindset!! Christ told us transformation comes with a renewal of the mind. So it is not circumstances, situations, or people than should be changing us, its our minds!!! In other words I am automatically out of the will of God when I allow anything that is external to my renewed mind to change me.

I have realized that its time for me to make a decision to "be me". Its time to no longer be average and worry about what others think, but about what my God, wife and children think of me. Yes I have a property management company, and several other businesses setup, but to be honest they are not where I want them. But for me (AND YOU) to get GOING!! Lets leverage each other, it is better to run a successful business with 100 people doing 1% of the work each, than one person doing 100% of the work.

So right now, I am looking for 3 people to partner with before May 31st!! Those who want to go to the next level with me...contact me or email 313-663-1924 or email jchandler_06@yahoo.com!!!
