Constant Elevation and Continuous Improvement

     "Seko.....Are you out of your MIND??????" asked the school board member from another city in Hampton Roads Virginia. The member heard that late last night I announced via email that I planned to run a campaign for a school board seat in Virginia Beach, Virginia. We laughed as I detailed how I arrived at this decision and how numerous people asked the same question to this board member when they began their school board run years ago.

     Recently I completed University of Virginia's Sorenson Institute Candidate Training Program and learned how horrendous running for public office is...... and my stomach knotted up. I've been considering running for some political office for about 15 years now..... and..... for some reason some of my peers have asked repeatedly if I've ever thought of running for an office. So in January I applied for the Sorenson Institute and was accepted. I figured that if I felt led to participate in a campaign, I'd help someone else's campaign. I came home with knots in my stomach. Sooooooooooooooo, after discussions with my family I decided to run for Virginia Beach School Board.

     "What's your Platform?" asked a friend after I announced my intentions during the 3/30/18 SANKOFA event. My answer - "Constant Elevation and Continuous Improvement." I'm not upset about the current state of Virginia Beach Schools, I simply want to be a leader in the process of Constant Elevation and Continuous Improvement for OUR students.

     Today is 3/31/18. By 6/10/18 I'll need 125 signatures of voting registered residents of Virginia Beach, Virginia on a petition to begin my process. I want 250 signatures to ensure that I have enough signatures to be viable. Your signature helps. Contact me to help. I need it..... Oh yeah, I left (the confines of) my mind a long time ago....LOL !

It just might be your character. - M.Y.M. Monday

Good Morning & Happy "M.Y.M." Monday!
Just because you want something doesn't mean you're ready for it! Your biggest problem isn't the fact that you're not where you want to be.. It just might be your character. In order to get some things & go some places; you must be the person you're required to be.

Conquer where you are, become who you need to be, & receive all you can dream of! Have a blessed week!

Be blessed, stay blessed, be a blessing.

Keep it moving!

Good Morning & Happy "M.Y.M" Monday! Take your wins personal & your losses purposeful! When you win; you get to congratulate yourself. You did what it took to get there. But when you lose; it's either something you did, something you didn't do, or the win just wasn't yours to have. You then have the opportunity to work harder & push your grind to the limit. So, keep it moving whether you take things personal or purposeful! Have a blessed week! #immamuelmitchell

Good Morning & Happy "M.Y.M." Monday! What makes you think you're not good enough? Whoever told you that you don't have it in you to become what you want was wrong. Love & believe in yourself like it's nobody's business but yours. You are more than capable to be who you want to be. You are awesome! Keep going! Have a blessed week! Immanuel Mitchell

Compromise - Immanuel Mitchell

Good Morning & Happy "M.Y.M." Monday! Sometimes you're just gonna have to compromise. It's not all about you. The world isn't set up to hand you everything without you giving anything back. Put your ego & some of your feelings aside! Give & receive! Have a blessed week! Immanuel Mitchell

Invaluable - Immanuel Mitchell

Good Morning & Happy "M.Y.M." Monday! Your dreams are invaluable! Somewhere around the world there's someone who is waiting for you to fulfill your dreams.. To have that life changing conversation with them.. To inspire them.. To give them hope.. So, when will you stop second guessing yourself & wholeheartedly bring your dream to life? Don't think on it too long! Have a blessed week! Immanuel Mitchell

Expectations

Lower the expectations that you'll find an easy way out.

Raise your expectations for what you can contribute.

Lower your expectations for how effective that next shortcut is going to be. 

Raise your expectations about what technology can do for you if you patiently push it.

Lower your expectations about how an angry fight can help you win something you care about.

Raise your expectations for how much consistent daily action can transform your status quo.

Lower your expectations of finding a fairy godmother.

But raise them about the power of concrete goals that keep you from hiding.

{Level up. Everything I write about hinges on the idea that we are capable beings. Capable of making decisions, of taking responsibility, of raising and lowering our expectations.

As we move into a new year, today's a perfect day (in many countries, a legal holiday) dedicated to thinking about levelling up, about what it means to make new choices about what we will do next.

That's why today is a good day to tell you that we've opened applications for the fourth session of the altMBA workshop. 

altMBA alumni work at companies large and small, unknown and famous, but what what they all have in common is that they've made a choice. They've acknowledged that they are capable of levelling up, and they have.

You will learn to see differently and more important, to help others take action.

It's your turn. I hope you'll take a look before our deadline on Wednesday.}

Happy new year.
