" THE CROSSROADS OF LIFE "

Bone Bone Bone Bone.. Bone.. Bone.. Bone.. Bone.. Bone ...Now tell me whatcha gonna do,when YOU get tired of YOUR job??

Well, today's article has to do with " THE CROSSROADS OF LIFE." A Funny thing about CROSSROADS is that EVERYONE will eventually get to them.About two weeks ago, someone told me that a company let go of five people in one week{ Just think, in one week, five people went from being " Gainfully Employed," STRAIGHT TO " THE CROSSROADS !"}.In some cases, it's was a good thing when people get let go from their job.However, it's a better thing when people CHOOSE to leave the job on their own,because they have gotten a glimpse of who they were meant to be and what they were meant to be doing with their lives.Someone once said," We were not meant to go to school, work a job,live paycheck-to-paycheck for 30-40 years,and then die penny-less." NO,NO,NO,God has a greater plan for Your life than that! It has been said that School prepares children for passing Standardized Tests.However,School does a very poor job of preparing children to handle " THE CROSSROADS." Yes, even children eventually have to experience " THE CROSSROADS." One person told me that it's not the School's responsibility to help the children with " THE CROSSROADS." Naturally,my response was this."Ok, so you say that the School should make sure that the child is fed, because it's the only meal that they might get. Well,I say it should be the same for " THE CROSSROADS," BECAUSE SCHOOL MIGHT BE THE ONLY PLACE THEY CAN GET THE HELP[ especially if " THE CROSSROADS " have to do with School ]! You see,you will inevitably get to " THE CROSSROADS." Just think of it as God's way of getting you to CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH( just remember that the path you CHOOSE will have a Domino Effect on Your Future).Proverbs 11:14 says, " Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of Counsellors there is safety." Therefore,one of the things we should have in place to help us with " THE CROSSROADS " is a multitude of Counsellors. A personal board of advisers who care about you and want you to succeed in life. Garry, what are some rules that I can use to form my Personal Board of Advisors ? Glad that you asked ! Here are 5 RULES from Carl Dorvil for you to consider using. Here are five things to consider when putting together your personal board of directors: Create a diverse board. In general, we tend to surround ourselves with people that look like us, think like us, and who value the same things we do. Keep your board diverse by having some people who are older than you, some who are younger than you, and some who are in your field as well as some in different fields. Establishing a diverse group of people with different backgrounds will provide you with unique perspectives that you may not have otherwise had. Have virtual board members. This is a less obvious point, but I recommend that at least one of your board members be a virtual person. (Not as in "remote," but as in someone you perhaps don't even know.) This can be a figure in history, a relative that is no longer around, or someone you admire but have never met. Whenever you're faced with a tough decision, just imagine what this virtual member would say about your situation and what advice they might offer. Have an odd number of board members. Ultimately, you are the one to make the final decision about your personal or business choices, but in order to make the best decision, you need to have clear feedback. There's a high probability of a tie occurring if you have an even number of people helping you make a decision. However, there will always be a side, opinion, or suggestion that wins out if you have an odd number of votes. If you don’t have an odd number of board members, you are setting yourself up for a situation where you end up more confused than you started. Invest in your board. Make it a priority to meet with each of your board members regularly about your decisions in life. Make the financial investment of buying them lunch or dinner, but make sure you show up prepared. It’s okay to be relational, but don't forget to give them all the facts surrounding your issue in order to get the most out of the experience and their advice. And return the favor whenever possible, too. Always be looking for new members. Once you make a decision to cultivate the best possible board that you can for yourself, always be on the lookout for new board members. It's hard to find someone who wants to be a venture capitalist and give you money, but it’s much easier to find people who are willing to be 'mentor capitalists.' I recommend developing nominating criteria for accepting someone new and then sitting down once a quarter to evaluate who is currently on your board and who might be a good addition or substitution based on new contacts you have made. The people you allow to influence you will ultimately be the ones that help set your pace in life. If you choose wisely, the next time you face a major decision, you can look confidently to your board for advice. So, keeping all these things in mind, let me ask you again: Who's on your board of directors? Carl Dorvil is CEO of Group Excellence Holdings and Managing Partner of VICAR Capital Advisors.
