What it takes to…

Club Sea Breeze Tanya Cigar 21 225x300 What it takes to...Ok, in About Us I promised to explain this photo of Tanya.

It’s September 2nd, 2009 and she has just arrived from Ukraine, she’ll be visiting me and working for my partner in Ukraine and while she’s here experiencing some of what Colorado has to offer.

So she got in to Denver about 10 pm, after 19 hours of travel, contending with the 9 hour time difference and I got her up at 4:30 am to go Dove hunting at our farm in eastern Colorado.

It’s a wonder she could smile, but that’s Tanya, she’s a rare gem.  A day earlier she was a city girl amidst the hustle and bustle of Ukraine’s 2nd largest city, Kharkiv and the next?  A shotgun toting, cigar smoking, country girl having a great time with two of my buddies and our dog (Titan).

First time shooting a shotgun, first cigar (Cohiba–the occasion merits a good cigar), first time out in our Eastern plains which looks a lot like the steppe that comprises much of her home country, but nothing like the city.

This day and really every day, she was/is great company and why?  Well one reason is her fantastic attitude, she’s going to do what it takes to have fun, learn, widen her experience.  And her attitude also helps her succeed in her work as well where I’ve seen and experienced her doing what it takes to succeed.  And much of that starts from her great attitude.

Whether it is white water rafting, soaring through the tree tops of Southwestern Colorado on zip lines, flyfishing the Roaring Fork, ballroom dancing, a jazz club, Rockies game, family dinner, the theater, or just a lazy afternoon with me and our dog, time and again, it’s Tanya’s great attitude that has helped create so many wonderful memories.

There is that saying about how your attitude in life will determine your altitude in life and Tanya is a great example of this.  The point really is what it takes to have fun or to succeed is largely due to your attitude.  As another friend of mine is fond of saying, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are already correct–success is a choice”.

And I am proud and honored and very happy she is with me, helping serve many people as we help build their success and prosperity through our business.  We hope you’ll join us so we can share future experiences with you.
