Re-reading "The Bezos Blueprint" by Carmine Gallo page 17, references Bezos commencement speech to the 2010 Princeton Class. "What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift; kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy -- they're given after all. Choices can be hard. In the end, we are our choices." "Six years after his speech at Princeton, Bezos revisited the theme in taking pride in your choices, not your gifts. "This is something that's super important for young people to understand, and for parents to preach to young people. It's really easy for a talented young person to take pride in their gifts. 'I'm really athletic,' or 'I'm really smart,', or 'I'm really good at math.' That's fine. You should celebrate your gifts. You should be happy. But you can't be proud of them. What you can be proud of is your choices." Did you work hard? That's a choice. Did you study hard? That's a choice. Did you practice? That's a choice. "The people that excel combine gifts and hard work, and the hard work part is a choice." Bezos said. (The Bezos Blueprint, page 17 Carmine Gallo) Profound, simple, and true. #thebezosblueprint

The inaugural Biz Apps Partner Summit this July was a huge success.  Now, we have a 'sequel' on October 13 in San Antonio as a Community Summit NA 2024 preconference.    Back in Bellevue, the Partner Summit delivered carefully curated FY25 strategies for partnering with Microsoft, where we had a cross-pollination of multiple Microsoft leaders sharing key strategies to help partners scale their practice while dazzling customers.     This October, Dynamic Communities, Microsoft, and Marie Weiss co-organized an event that will serve partners who want to gain an edge—a six-hour Biz Apps Partner Marketing Workshop for consultants, systems integrators, and ISVs.     Why marketing?    The Biz Apps Partner Summit plans to add a series of events catering to partner organizations' different departments and personas, and this workshop is the first in line. Recognizing that partners need extra support and practical guidance in the marketing domain, we invited experts to help.     This workshop aims to support Biz Apps partners to get the most out of Microsoft marketing programs and learn the prominent tactics from channel experts that will equip them for 2025.    However, the event is not only for marketing departments or VPs of sales and marketing. We invite all business owners and C-level executives to attend and take home actionable steps that will enhance their company's promotion, lead generation, and, ultimately, sales.    The speaker lineup is the one you wouldn’t want to miss: Mike Morton, Marie Wiese, Pam Johnson, Adriana Bade, El Bush, John Clark, Candyce. Edelen, Michelle Glennie, Cheryl Salazar, Suzy Tarrant, Maddie Yule, Jeff Ney, and Matt Abbott.    Check out the full agenda below:    🔗 https://rb.gy/rqt8fm     Let me know if you’ll be there and if you have any questions for our speakers.   #SummitNA #Dynamics #Dynamics365 #BizApps #DynamicCommunities
