“Trust your own abilities, always be moving forward, and be confident in your life choices!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Tuesday” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, Warriors, & Patriots!” Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — November 4, 2025
Today’s Message is: “Confident Day!” Why Not?
“Confident leaders are focused on strategic challenges and the bigger picture. They can’t be involved in every aspect of the day-to-day activities. Empower your people, give them room to develop and don’t become the leaders that need to control. Step back, lead with confidence, and build trust that goes both ways!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)
