Living the Dream – My 4-Step Blueprint

“How are you?”

“Living the dream – one day at a time.” That’s my answer every time I’m asked. Originally I hoped it would be my trademark, to help distinguish me from the average ‘Joe Recruiter’, but it’s now evolved into a daily practice. It’s made me happier and more successful in all aspects of life.

And I want to share my blueprint with you:

• 1. RELATIONSHIPS

 “Who and what we surround ourselves with is who and what we become.”~Karen Marie Moning, Iced

Surround yourself with people that are more successful, smarter and charismatic. Choose to be around love and not anger. Sometimes cutting those out that are closest to us is the most painful, but makes us better. 

• 2. WORK

 “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.” ~Maya Angelou

If you don’t jump out of bed begging for the alarm to go off, call a recruiter in your niche. We are your free career shrinks. Tell us your dreams, your goals, what legacy you want to leave. Only when you get honest and deep with yourself about what you really want to do will you experience a ‘careergasm’.

• 3. SPIRITUALITY

“Religion – no matter which one – is ultimately about people wanting to live humble, moral lives that create a harmonious community and promote tolerance and friendship.”~Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Religion is a means of understanding how to center oneself in their surroundings. Believe. Pray. Hope. “Treat others as you want to be treated” (Luke 6:31).

• 4. BALANCE

“The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” ~Stephen Covey

I love reading, golf, reffing basketball games, all things UCONN, and above all, God and my beautiful wife, Lindsay.

Make your passions a priority in ALL aspects of your life, and harmony & success will follow!
