I have to admit- I did not play with LEGOS growing up. I’ve actually asked my parents why and there’s not a clear reason or maybe it’s just the fog of parenthood. Either way, my first experience with LEGO was through the eyes of a 3 year old (thank you, DUPLO!).

On December 28th 2017, I sat with my 5 year old for over an hour and completed my first fire truck (all 214pcs!). I’m not exaggerating - the feeling of accomplishment left both of us pretty darn proud. And, whether you’re 5 or 105, the lessons, inspiration and joy that LEGO shares is ageless.

The wonderful life and business lessons LEGO has taught me:

Visualize your goal or desired end-result
Break down goals into smaller actionable steps
Create procedures and an organizational system so that you’re set up for success
Keep building, growing and learning
Don’t stop short of hitting your goal- A to Z
Celebrate and enjoy your accomplishments
Have fun along the way!

With the desire for personal and professional growth (which in some capacity, we all are working towards), LEGO"‘s motto of “Keep Building” is a refreshing reminder to us all.

What have you built recently that you’re proud of?

Cheers to YOU!
