A SMOVER is someone who SMILES & MOVES. Simple... but not easy. And definitely not common. I remember the first time I was introduced to Sam Parker and the Smover Movement. I was hooked immediately and started sharing the idea team by team, throughout my company. And then company to company. As far and wide as I could. The idea is complete without being complex. It’s one of those ideas that, once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And you start noticing everywhere people are... or aren’t... showing up this way. Sam shares a story about his daughters running a lemonade stand during a city-wide event raising money for cancer research. On the surface, everything looked great—they were there, participating, doing the “right” thing. But when he watched how they interacted with customers, something was missing. Low energy. Minimal engagement. Just going through the motions. So he stepped in to coach them... and got the classic pre-teen eye roll. Because in their minds, they were already doing enough. They were there to get their required community service hours for school. (And yes... maybe to raise money for a good cause.) But here’s where the lesson hits... Those customers didn’t have to stop. They weren’t obligated to buy lemonade. There were stands all over the city. They chose that stand. Which means... The girls weren't doing the customers a favor by selling lemonade. The customers were doing them a favor by choosing them. That’s the shift, isn't it? Whether you’re an entrepreneur... part of a team... leading a business... or simply showing up in your relationships... 👉 The opportunity to serve is never an obligation. 👉 It’s always an invitation. 👉 And it’s a gift. So the question becomes: How are you showing up when the opportunity arrives? How To SMILE: ⏰Wake Up ~ Be attentive and engaged 🎁Be Thankful ~ The opportunity to serve is a gift 🤗Be Approachable ~ It attracts and invites opportunity 🚫Complain Less ~ Being positive is more fun 😀Smile, REALLY

Point 8 Mindset Series: The Soundtrack of Reinvention — Something for Nothing Awareness ➡️ Disruption ➡️ Adaptation ➡️ Alignment ➡️ Momentum ➡️ Victory The idea that you can't get Something for Nothing sits squarely in the DISRUPTION part of the journey. Time to get real... this might sting. A lot of people are waiting. Waiting for the right time. Waiting for the right opportunity. Waiting for someone to notice them… pick them… validate them. Meanwhile, nothing changes. Because there is a truth most people don’t want to hear: You don’t get something for nothing. You don’t get freedom for free. The Point 8 doesn’t wait. 💥 It builds. 💥 It moves. 💥 It takes ownership — especially when it’s uncomfortable. No one is coming to flip the switch for you. No one is going to suddenly hand you clarity, confidence, or momentum. That gets earned. And the longer you wait... The more expensive that delay becomes. Here’s where it shifts: 👉 What you own is your kingdom 👉 What you do is your glory 👉 What you live becomes your story Not pressure — that’s POWER. 💡 Challenge: 🔹Where in your life have you been waiting instead of moving? 🔹Pick one thing today — one decision, one action, one step — and take ownership of it. 🔹No overthinking. No perfect plan. 🔹Just movement. Because Point 8 isn’t built on intention. It’s built on action.

How much of your business came from people you already knew? I'm genuinely curious how common this actually is.

Our 4 y.o. Grandson, MJ is our darling!! About a year or so ago he gave @Shannon Koss and me the best combined nickname. You got your: Bennifer Brangelina Kimye and... TomKat But ours is better. To MJ, I'm Pop and Shannon is Nanna. So of course together that becomes... BannanaPop it stuck and we love it. Who else has a great nickname??

"Be A Better Part of Someone's Day ~ Work Kindly." Let’s go deep on this thought for a second. When all else fails... When you’re unsure of the next move... When motivation is low, clarity is missing, and progress feels stalled... Start here. Not with a new strategy. Not with another course. Not with overthinking your next big move. Start with how you show up. Be a better part of someone’s day. Because kindness is not soft. It’s disciplined. It requires awareness. Presence. Intention. Anyone can execute when they feel good. Point 8 people execute on who they are being... especially when they don’t feel good. If nothing else today: Send the message Offer the encouragement Acknowledge someone’s effort Bring energy into a room instead of taking it This is how culture is created. This is how standards are built. This is how YOU become someone people are drawn to. And put some focus on this next part... When you raise the experience for others, you elevate your own. So if you don’t know what to do next, do this. Be better. Work kindly. Move forward. Who’s one person you’re going to impact today? 👇
