Today was supposed to be the day for my executive roundtable luncheon, but it turned out to be one of those days where things just didn't go as planned. Despite receiving several RSVPs, no one showed up. It's disappointing, but it happens. I went through all the invites again to make sure there wasn't any confusion about the location or date, but sometimes things just don't work out. On the bright side, my team and I get to enjoy some delicious Chuy's all to ourselves. It's important to remember that some days you win and some days you lose. It's all part of the journey. #executiveluncheon #eventplanning #teamwork

🌟 Around 2 weeks ago, our team gathered at Gloucester Brewery Ltd, buzzing with excitement and ready to take on the challenge of a pub quiz. As questions flew and our minds raced, we found ourselves in the thick of a fierce competition and it was great fun. But as the final scores were tallied, we discovered we were just 1 point shy of victory! 🏆 Yet, as we reflected on the evening, it dawned on us that the true win wasn't in the leaderboard standings. The real triumph was in the camaraderie we shared and the support we extended to a noble cause. The quiz was organized to support the Hollie Gazzard Trust which is a beacon of hope for the Gloucester community. In business, as in life, it's easy to get caught up in the race to "win" - to outperform, to exceed, to be the best. But let's take a moment to ask ourselves, "What truly defines winning?" 🤔 Is it the relentless pursuit of being at the top? Or is it the joy we find in the journey, the growth we experience, and the support we offer to causes greater than ourselves? 🌱 This experience is about fostering "Joy in the Workplace" (something very close to my heart) by celebrating the spirit of giving, supporting, and being committed to a cause greater than any single victory. So, here's to the nights we don't win by points but triumph in spirit, to the lessons learned, and to the joy found in supporting each other and our communities. Remember, great conversations and fabulous results often stem from the values we champion together, not just the accolades we collect. 🌟 Let's carry this spirit forward in our businesses and lives. Because in the end, the greatest wins are those shared in support and commitment. 💖 #BusinessJoy #CommunityOverCompetition #SupportAndCommitment

🎉 A Heartfelt Shoutout to Cway Food & Beverages Nig. Co.

Our company town hall event is tomorrow. It’s exciting to see and hear the plans for our company as we continue forward in our drive to success. I like to say that Raydia Food Group is a young company with 175 years behind it. This is also a time to remember and celebrate the unwavering dedication that defines each and every one of us. In the world of business, success is not merely measured by the numbers on a balance sheet or the accolades on a resume. It's measured by the depth of our commitment, the sacrifices we make, and the resilience we demonstrate in the face of adversity. We all know the feeling of waking up with a heavy heart or battling through illness, yet dragging ourselves out of bed to fulfill our responsibilities. It's the late nights spent poring over spreadsheets, the weekends sacrificed for the sake of a project deadline, and the moments when we put the needs of our team above our own. But why do we do it? Why do we push ourselves beyond our limits, endure sleepless nights, and make personal sacrifices for the sake of our work? Because we believe in something greater than ourselves. Because we are driven by a passion to succeed, a commitment to excellence, and a desire to make a difference in the world. We understand that success is not handed to us on a silver platter. It's earned through hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering dedication to our craft. It's about showing up, day in and day out, even when the odds are stacked against us. It's about going the extra mile, not because it's easy, but because it's necessary. And while our dedication may sometimes go unnoticed, rest assured that it does not go unappreciated. For every sleepless night, every sacrifice made, and every hurdle overcome, we are building something extraordinary. We are building a legacy of resilience, determination, and excellence that will inspire generations to come. So as the entire Raydia team meets tomorrow, we will continue to strive for greatness, to push the boundaries of what is possible, and to never waver in our commitment to our work and to each other. Together, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.

Sarah and I arrived at the hotel. I am giving a keynote address on the success principles that empower individuals and organizations to take their journey from great to extraordinary. The staff at the Westin blew us away with their hospitality and aloha. They gave us our keys and sent us on our way. It took us a minute to find the room and when we did, it was marvelous! They gave us the presidential penthouse suite. (Here’s a little tour...) As a guy who studies the common traits of extraordinary behavior and achievement, one of the traits I admire most is the joy of living between simplicity and extravagance. As many of you know I started my journey living in a Volkswagen Bus, eating food off my Coleman stove and now living in a tiny home on an organic farm. It is incredibly fulfilling bouncing between these two realities. Having spent time with some of the most successful and wealthy people on this planet, those that can afford and buy all the luxuries one can imagine, I have seen first hand how happy they are with nothing. I know, you’re probably saying, “That’s easy for them, they have everything.” But I can assure that they didn’t always have everything. In fact, many of the truly great visionaries, pioneers and leaders of industry, came from nothing, so they had nothing to lose. They began their journeys from humble beginnings. I have always believed if one can be grateful with little they can be rewarded with a lot. Besides, life is fickle and we never know what’s around the next corner. So appreciate what you have and always make the best of where you are. Today we’re balling in our suite and in a couple of days, we’ll be back at the farm and I’ll be helping Sarah gather cow poop in buckets to fertilize the garden. Somedays “You're the shit!” and others “You are in the shit!” The big question is: Can you enjoy it all? -- #keynotespeaker #westin #marriott #hospitality #personaldevelopment #successprinciples #ericsaperston
