And now I feel myself grateful for your uncle Bud! It is so important to have people that believe in you…

Another lesson: adjust the saddle a bit and then go for it!

Krista,
Valuable lesson you learned there, and I can so identify with it. Several years ago I was thrown into a work situation with a CPA. There was no one to train me on 11 different programs she used everyday. She hired me because I told her I loved challenges. Well that one was a MAJOR one.

She wanted everything done yesterday and when I dared to ask her a question she would say, “Go figure it out. You said you liked challenges.”

That first month I wanted to quit single day, but I hung in there, taught myself Lacerte, etc. and gained a lot of confidence in my ability to handle pressure AND learn a lot of new programs simultaneously. It was a lesson I’ll always cherish! Even today when I can’t figure something out, I hark back to that learning experience and more often than not am able to work my way through the problem.

@Monika Genehr, Hi Monika, Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I appreciate your kind words. Uncle Bud was truly an inspiration in my life, and hopefully through this story, he can continue to inspire others.

What an inspirational story Krista! Uncle Bud reminds me of my grandfather..who I grew up with..and who taught me similar lessons.

Thanks for the reminder of these great life lessons…I feel motivated to ‘go get on the horse’ on a couple things I’ve been putting off.

Thank you for all that you are and all that you give…I appreciate you!

Truly “uplifting” story in every way. Every kid should have an Uncle Bud. You got to experience the fruit of your own labor and it was so good that you chose to share it with us, out of all the experiences you must have had in your life. Thank you Krista and thank you Uncle Bud!

Thank you Dave and Dawn! I like that quote from Jeff Olsen. It’s the small things we do consistently over time that make the biggest impact on our life overall.

Wonderful spiritual post Krista! As it appears that you learned many lessons on that day and it got you where you are in life.

Determination and motivation is the key to success. As one of our mentors Jeff Olsen says: In order to be successful, “you must stay consistent and persistent over a long period of time.”

It great to see that you understand these principles and it will be just a matter of time until the rest of the world does too!

To Your Continual Success!
Dave and Dawn
