The Expert in Anything Had to BEGIN

Ever look at someone and wish you had their talents or abilities or strengths and just wish you had even a portion of what they have? They, too, were at their beginning…..they had to learn; they had to spend hours developing their gifts; they had to be willing to be trained, they had to grow.

I became a pilot, a pianist and organist, a teacher, a securities broker and a real estate broker — not to mention all the other things I’ve gone on to do — because of training, studying, practicing….and determination, And, now, I’ve gone on to become quite accomplished in the world of technology.

Several years ago, I bought a cell phone that did it all — talk, text, email, photos, music, internet, games. The nice guy at AT&T set it up for me. I was a happy camper — ONLY $150 a month for my phone and service. But then, two years ago, my son created a social commerce company, Solavei to lower the cost of commerce and make it even profitable. I was excited to switch my mobile service to Solavei ($100/mo savings) and help people save, too. And in so doing learned more in this world of technology. Now, I am often the AT&T guy — helping my friends and family get set up on Solavei — and the best part, it also meant a $100/mo savings ($1,200 a year) for me — not to mention, thousands of people have joined my network so I even have residual monthly income coming in. Who would have thought that this Nana would be competent in this world of technology? No one, including myself, but I was willing to grow, to be trained, to develop my gifts and to learn. I often laugh at myself when I’m talking about APN settings, MVNO, bandwidth, CDMA vs GSM, etc.

And what about you? What have you stretched yourself to become and do? God planted seeds inside you for you to cultivate and grow. Sure it may take hours and hours of training — but isn’t that what we did as youngsters when we began to read and write and learn arithmetic? Why would we stop now? Let’s continue to take leaps of faith to become the best we can be! It comes with great reward. Now, let’s wake up those seeds and cause them to GROW, today!!
