Day 209: Who Is That Woman Driving?

I'm sorry but I've never seen a more gorgeous and adorable Indy Race Car Driver! Oh my gosh could she be any cuter? I don't think so!

It's Heather Carter, Brian's fearless right hand person at Corner Construction Co., Inc. Last weekend she went to Las Vegas to the Mario Andretti driving academy and drove laps just like the real race car drivers. Crazy!

This was one of her "bucket list" items and so now she can check it off the list! She tells me she also wants to do NASCAR driving and trapeze... lots of chutzpa for such a small cookie!

Heather tells me she was the only woman driving the course that day! You Go Girl!

How wonderful to go for your dreams, as wild or crazy as they may be.... Miss Heather has just gone for it! I love her spirit. I know people thought I was crazy when I ran for public office. And maybe I was. But I did it and am still standing to talk about it, loss and all. And others think I'm crazy for attempting to run a marathon - all 26.2 miles.

But these are the things that make our lives challenging. When we step out of our comfort zone and fulfill our "bucket list" items, we feel alive. You can't always play it safe, adventure gets the blood pumpin' in your soul and it's so important.

Taking risks, attempting difficult challenges, going for your goals, trying new experiences, this is what living is!

Kudos to Heather for being such an inspiration and fulfilling one of her many "bucket list " items. I'm not sure if I want to drive a race car, but my marathon running is plenty fast for me!

If you have an adventure you are working towards or have already accomplished and you want to share, please send me photos as we all need a little inspiration daily!

Girl Power Rocks! Keep making us proud Heather!

Day 90: Congratulations Brian

For those of you who don't know yet, Brian has launched a new business venture! As if he doesn't have enough to do running his own design and build firm and taking care of this family! In any event, he was introduced to a new opportunity from several business associates of his who he admires and respects very much. He was hooked once he heard their pitch!

Pictured here is Brian Simon being promoted by one of the co-founders of ACN on stage in front of 20,000 plus people at the Quicken Arena in Cleveland, Ohio last month at an International Conference.

The new opportunity is a business based on residual income -- meaning we make money when we're not at the office -- similar to owning apartment buildings or any type of real estate. For most of us, myself included, if I'm not working and billing clients, I'm not making money. Well in order to live the life Brian and I want for our family we are looking for ways to grow our net worth and Brian was attracted to this model.

The company is called ACN and it is a technology company. Brian is working non stop on this venture and is so excited to be doing something new after 30 plus years of being in the designing and building business. Of course he hasn't given up the "day job" yet, running Corner Construction, but he is supplementing his work with ACN.

We are very proud of his new enthusiasm and business success... no doubt whatever Brian touches turns to gold so we are anticipating a big return on his most valuable investment, his time! If you are interested in learning more, give him a call!
