Thanksgiving Memories

As I'm going through my email today and yesterday, I received a number of encouraging  messages and thoughts about being Thankful and Gratitude.

I'm going to list the last one I got here. I  think we can all use a little thanksgiving in our life and be motivated by that. At Brock Shores Financial, we are all about #ImprovingFutures ,  building on a foundation of thankfulness.

Tim Ross, CEO & Founder

From Suzane Hart, Suzane leads a dynamic health networking home based business, she does consulting in this area and has some great marketing ideas. Her message "Fit,Fab & Fulfilled" just inspires.  Now ee met several years ago at a BNI meeting at Buds on The Bay in Brockville. My family joined her network and we built a little team, unfortunately we never stuck with it. In a network marketing business you have to stick with it, I had other priorities in my business,  by not sticking with it, I did loose out on potentially a lot of dollars as many people I know eventually got vested into that company and they enjoy the products and the income it generates for their families, it's a lot of work, and you have to stay for the long term. So I get little reminders and ideas from Suzanne through out the year. Here is her thankful message and a little gift that can help you.   


 

As I woke this morning I was filled with gratitude.  I was present to all the ways both big and small that my life has been blessed. As I watched the sun come up from living room window I gave thanks for all the people who have touched my life.  So in the spirit of gratitude on the beautiful thanks giving day, I wanted to say thank you Timothy, for blessing my life.

Here is a link to her gift, a great assessment tool to help you be a more dynamic productive leader, check it out

OMEGA STEWARDSHIP ®

I am often asked what is Omega Stewardship ® ? 

There is a number of trademarks that I have created since starting the business back in 1988. They represent the idea that we can somehow condense what we do in a few words. The goal is that it helps people understand what we do quickly and to the point. It's an incredible idea to think one can do that, considering everything that we do. This process is certainly not unique to our business, and for business owners, employee's, volunteers of charities etc it's a great process to go through. 

I will tackle each of these as I move forward with the site and explain a little about the history and back story behind some of these words that we use to describe what we do and what we want to see , our vision, mission, and core values.

Omega Stewardship ® is one of the trademarks that I created over the years. It is a process that uses industries best practices and is a mind set of continual improvement. In it's simplest form it describes our process of what we want to accomplish, the value that we want to bring and some of the principals that we want to apply and accomplish  in all our activities of service to our clients at Brock Shores Financial. The three lines below covers the main goals that I feel will help towards the mission of #ImprovingFutures

Full Circle

Well, It's Nov 19th, 2017 a Sunday morning and I'm back on the Ning Network relearning about this community platform. I first used this platform about 8 years ago. I had setup omegastewarship.ning.com for my business and govern.ning.com when I ran for Council in Elizabethtown. I'm kind frugal and I was enjoying the benefits of their free site and then they changed, I wasn't big enough to have the paying ones, so when they changed I was not too happy, I did subscribe for awhile, however in those days, Facebook was just getting going and that was free, and I also had a few blogs on the Blog.ca site which was a small annual fee. I made a decision to abandon the Ning site, I had multiple options which seemed to be very cost effective, so made a decision to do so. Now, here I am "Full Circle".

Right away, I am impressed, and remember how simple and flowing this platform was. So, first five minutes, I'm signed up,  I'm engaged and feeling good about this decision. 

As I am doing this first blog, I am thinking a variety of thoughts. One of the things I would like to do is setup business's and all the little things that are required to do so, I'm very good at it. I think it is a marketable value added service and have had some good success helping others get going with their ideas. So, I'm going to add a few tips along the way which can help anyone launch that great idea on a good foundation. If your just starting out or wanting to rebrand your business or change the structure, you will be able to seek our Family Office here at Brock Shores Financial and we will be able to support your dream. 

Well I better stop, and go for a walkabout ad get some fresh air and enjoy the fresh snow that is falling, make some tracks.

Have a blessed day
