Count Your Blessings.

Dave Romeo • May 2, 2023

Don't take them for granted.

How often do you dwell on your problems? Of course, it’s normal to do, but what does it get you? No one needs extra frown lines, wrinkles, or gray hair (I’m speaking from experience on the last one). The problem with worry is that it’s like flooring your gas pedal while your car is neutral; it doesn’t get you anywhere.


One of the techniques I recommend to my clients who are going through a difficult time is to count your blessings. We all have them, but sometimes we take them for granted. Are you guilty of doing this? Do you realize that if you can read this blog, you have access to international information at your fingertips; you have a firm grasp on the English language; and you made a decision to improve yourself through engaging in a personal and professional growth activity.


Often, many of the people in our lives who mean the most to us don’t ever hear it because we do not take the time to express our appreciation of how important they are. Think of one person you would miss if he or she was no longer here. When is the last time you spoke with that person? The reality is, someday that person really will not be here. Why not take the time right now to place a call and let that person know how much he or she means to you?


And since I wouldn’t ask you to do anything I wouldn’t do, let me just say to all of the loyal, long-term readers, first-time readers, and sponsors who have courageously stood beside me for eight years, I personally want to thank you for your support, friendship, and encouragement as I continue to attempt to recognize how big an impact you can have on your world.

Are You a “Go-To” Reference to Your Clients?

By Dave Romeo • March 4, 2025
Many people don’t realize how to exploit their networks. I’m using the word “exploit” in the positive meaning of the word. In other words, you want to get the most out of your network whenever it can work to your advantage. The reason I stress this is because some people approach mixers with an air of arrogance or snobbery. For example, I’ve heard financial planners say that they only look for

You Don’t Need a Job to Have a Purpose

By Dave Romeo • February 25, 2025
When I think back to the days that I spent working as a staffing recruiter, I encountered many people who felt as if they’d lost their identity if they had lost their job.
