From Trailblazer to Trail Keeper

I invite you to join me on a walk along the trail on my property in Texas as I share my thoughts about my professional journey. I have gone from leading the charge like King Arthur to being more like Colonel Sanders (of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame) – writing books, doing interviews and presentations.

When I am at home, I walk the path most days as part of my exercise routine. It is peaceful to me and as I reflect on the journey going from a Trailblazer to a Trail Keeper, I realize that I am enjoying where I am and what I do at this phase of life.
Wishing you many Happy Trails!

I love this, my husband and I created a trail out where we live. Yours is much nicer.
Thank you for sharing, and good health to you and your family!

I love this – Trail Blazer to Trail Keeper. I hope to feel the same even though my circumstances are different. I am confident that BNI will support me in achieving this. Thank you, Ivan. I look forward to meeting you at the Global Conference in Australia

Thank you for sharing Ivan, so pleased to see you enjoying your lovely walks in your garden.

I’m slowing down now, having worked for over 35 years. But I confess I miss the days when I started. I believe that in a few years, I’ll be able to understand that even working less, everything is okay. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.

I was never a trailblazer and unfortunately I’m not now a trail keeper. I’m struggling with the opposite of you: I want to slow down….but I can’t. I’m 63 and I fear I’ll never be on that trail.
