Modern Marketing is excited to be able to create such great events for those who has built such a great opportunity for everyone around them.

Upcoming Executives!

One of the most difficult parts of reaching your goals or making positive change is pushing through discomfort. This is where a a lot of people give up - when the process inspires all kinds of challenging feelings. If you've quit your day job to pursue your passion and after six months you need to sell your car to keep going, a cubicle may appeal to you for the need of security. But maybe your will is strong enough to clear any emotional hurdles, but odds are that you have a voice inside your head saying "Go back. It's too hard. It's not worth it." Every one needs to remember that when your emotions get louder, challenge them with more emotions because that is exactly what all of our executives did and are continuing to do. Especially Micah Shaw, Morgan Couvillion, Kyle Redwine, and Ray Mallebay. These four executives pushed through the pain to build their success and we are waiting to see more growth that has to come with them being a part of our organization.

Purpose of Business Trips

So this week has been full of adventures for Modern Marketing. Many executives from our Troy location got the chance to go on a business trip to our Ann Arbor location as well as some of their executives got the chance to come to our office. There are the primary purpose why we like planning out a business trip for our executives here at Modern:

To meet with existing or potential clients

There are team-related meetings

Training and development

Linking traveling with business goals will help companies more efficient and better support their strategic priorities.

There Will Be...

If achieving goals were easy, everyone would be able to do it quickly and without 

any difficulty. There are always obstacles in a path that you plan or want to succeed in. It's the joy and journey of clearing those obstacles that makes life rich, and helping people feels good with accomplishment when they reach their success. In order to overcome obstacles, we must embrace self-awareness, use time to your advantage, commit to focused discipline, and engage your own creativity.
THERE WILL BE things that you may not like, BUT you are the only person who can do something about it to get you to your goals.

Independence Day!

Independence Day is also known as the Fourth of July, where July 4th has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941. But the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution from 1775 - 1783. In June 1776, representatives of the 13 colonies then fighting in the revolutionary struggle weighed a resolution that would declare their independence from Great Britain. On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor or indepence, and two days later its delegates adopted the Declaration of Indepence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 until the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence with typical festivites from fireworks, parades, concerts, and family gatherings and barbecues. 

Have a safe 4th of July weekend!

Thursday Night Hangouts!

We had a couple of our other offices visiting us yesterday night, so we all decided to go network with each other and to just have a relaxing evening. Even though we all work hard, we all still need to remember to enjoy some things in life and to build those great relationships with out business partners. The great thing about our company is that everyone has their own goals but are always willing to give out a helping hand. Every person in the room last night had an amazing time full of stories and laughter. Let's continue to build memories and the wonderful relationships we already have with one and another.

PUSH THROUGH PAIN

"Times will come where it feels as if the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Make a conscious decision to refuse failure and push through the pain."

Don't you ever think and say to yourself: "I don't want to do this anymore!" or "I can't do this." At times we all forget about why we started the fight so it's extremely important to make sure we push through the pain no matter how hard it may get or seem. What motivates you to work so hard that you know you can never give up? Constantly think about your whys because that will be the only thing to give you the strength to continue. Are you fighting for your family, your friends, for time, for wealth, for freedom, for endless options, or for the world. You are the only person who knows how to motivate yourself.

Unstoppable Partnerships

For a partnership to be successful each member needs to feel a sense of support and optimism about the collaboration. When partnerships are supportive they are infused with hope. What sustains motivation is the belief that with partnership things can only get better. When you feel supported in a partnership they become inspired to more clearly visualize the process of achieving the goal. It is essential that the partnership be grounded in an unwavering belief in the integrity of the goals and values of the desired purpose.

Trust is a basic need for a successful partnership. All partners need to know the relationship is collaborative, loyal and solid. If the partnership is in need of support or guidance, the partners trust they can come together in a way where needs and concerns can be met and realized. Elite partnerships are made up of people who view each other as necessary equals and show mutual respect for each other's differences. They find ways to focus on solutions, not problems and are committed to open communication to keep things together.

In successful partnerships, there is an unceasing commitment to equality, diversity and flexibility. Each member leads by example, has sense of personal freedom and an undying commitment to the goals at hand. Collaboration is build upon open and honest communication, direct and consistent interaction and the personal time to think things through. Each person understand their role in the relationship dynamic and what each must do to be successful. Each member is fully supported and encouraged by the partnership to fulfill all of their individual and collective goals. In this way a successful partnership is made up of strong individuals being supported in a collaborative and collective relationship dynamic where all are striving towards shared success.

Inhale Confidence!

Confidence is a tool you can use in your everyday life to do all kinds of cool stuff, not to second guess yourself, not to manage your fears, and to have the strength to do more of the things that really matters to you. But not many people realize that their lack of self-confidence hesitates them to do so and self-confidence works like a muscle - it grows in response to the level of performance required when used. Either you will use it or you will lose it. 

Here are some tips to grow your own CONFIDENCE:

1. Learning is a good thing, so build your knowledge by taking classes or reading.

2. Get out of your own head by asking a close friend what they think.

3. Go to a networking event and focus on how you can help others rather than being nervous about your own.

4. Write a list of things you're tolerating in your life and see how you can remove, minimize, or diminish each one.

5. Acknowledge and welcome all of your experiences - the good as well as the bad stuff.

6. Don't feel like you have to do everything yourself - sometimes the most confident thing is to ask for help.

7. Stop comparing yourself to others.

8. Don't get disheartened or demotivated when things go wrong.

Congrats to Joshua Jordan for being the top gentlemen this week by motivating others with his daily morning quotes which he posts onto our GroupMe chats where the office all stay connected in. 

"Successful people are givers and not takers of positive energy. My point is, if you maintain a positive 'tude its transferable to other people. Staying positive will get you to your goals a lot quicker. This is a way to success, and success should be your only option. #Jordan23"

Cody D. LOW

Every week, we have someone who is chosen to run our meetings when they are setting the right example in and outside of the office. Selected by his peers, Cody Dominguez has been a go-to guy to his business partners. When the CEO of the company is out for a day or two, he depends on Cody to make sure the office is run smoothly. Cody has been running the office by setting up the schedule for the day, making sure everyone is getting developed and has the right training, running announcements, and etc. He has been the top guy in the office these past couple of weeks, so we are definitely excited to see his next promotion within the next couple of months.

Columbus Road Trip!

Columbus, OHIO here we come…

Starting the week full of adventures; four of our top guys got the chance to go visit our Columbus office for a week to network with some hard working and driven directors. The guys got to ride out with our regional director who has amazing knowledge and such a positive mental attitude. I’m sure our regional director will have a great influence on our guys. They’re so excited to be able to see how another office is ran, meeting new people, exchanging knowledge and more!
