Today’s Message is: “Hang On Day!” Why Not?
“If leaders want to ‘hang on’ to a big vision, then they can’t let people ‘hang on’ to the past, because that’s the way things have always been done. Think outside the box; forward thinking. Your leadership and vision should be focusing on the present and the opportunities right in front of you!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)
