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.

Modern Weekend Out

 Modern Marketing decided to meet up to enjoy the Pigs and Whiskey Festival here in Ferndale, Michigan over the weekend. Every summer for about 3 day, Ferndale gives us a summer to enjoy with great BBQ and live music. Locals and tourists gets the chance to explore the downtown area of Ferndale with great musical backdrops while every one gets the chance to find the best barbecue restaurant on the strip. Modern definitely brought our appetite over the weekend.  

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!

No Excuses Mentality

Entrepreneurship doesn't mean to make excuses. The only right answer to anything is to learn how to be completely accountable for yourself, what you do and what you do not do. When you accept everything and accept that accountability, than you are willing to live a no excuse life. You want to create a powerful internal dynamic rather than being externally motivated by what is happening around you and will become internally motivated. You learn how to believe in yourself and set yourself to standards that will push you.
