The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Today's Message is: "Stepping Stone Day!" Why Not?

The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Good “Wednesday & Hump Day!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 29 December 2021!


Today’s Message is: “Stepping Stone Day!” Why Not?


“Every day is a new stepping-stone in leadership. There is no ‘blueprint’ that will work for every situation, therefore be clear in what you want to achieve. Be clear about the reputation you want to earn. Do what you do best and get others to do the same, and finally get the support you need to get better. What are your stepping-stones as a leader?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning, Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Stepping stones have always been the way to succeed, that is unless one was born into wealth, but even somewhere along the way, it was one stepping stone after another. Stepping stones are the building blocks to a solid foundation. Look upon them as opportunities to learn and advance. Have a blessed day today and always.
