Everyone needs someone they can look up to, to gain inspiration from, to learn appreciation from, and to learn the true meaning of unrelenting dedication, to self, family, and business. Debi Peltola-Salmons is that one person for me. She never ever gives up, no matter the obstacles God throws up in front of her. No matter what Mother Nature throws at her. She has persevered through much more than the 'normal' person would probably put up with. So this story I dedicate to her and her family.
I have had many friends in my life, many of whom I can't even remember what they looked like. I remember the ones I worked with and grew up with in the old neighborhood, the ones I had the privilege to be roommates with, and the ones that I was in the Air Force with. But never have I had one that I have never met face to face, but have come to develop a bond with that I haven't had since my friendship with my close friend Arthur Beck Jr.. She has given me support, inspiration, and advice on a lot of business topics, but it is more than just all business.
I have learned one of the most important lessons I think I have ever had the honor to experience first hand, and that is people matter most. Debi Peltola-Salmons is someone that you feel at ease with from the very first time you talk to her. Along with the love of her life and husband Billy Salmons, they have given me new direction and drive when it comes to my own business. They are both members of the LDS Faith, and are very active in their church, along with their boys. Say what you will about religion, but a strong faith and a healthy belief system seem to be contributing factors in a persons life. But that is just my opinion and doesn't reflect upon how this has been an influence on my life. Life's little hiccups don't even stack up to the burdens and hardships these two awesome people have gone through. Debi Peltola-Salmons has home schooled her boys, had to personally take care of her ailing parents, and to top it off, has had to care for her husband Billy, who has gone through a multitude of medical problems, some of which the awesome doctors that are caring for him still haven't figured out. She also helps run the family Cranberry Orchard farm. So when I look at what I have to do to get things done, it makes me very humbled to know that I have no excuses to not get something done. It has given me the push to get through what I thought were some difficult problems. That was until I got to know Debi Peltola-Salmons and her husband Billy.
Nowadays I find myself feeling a little better about my life, even though I'm not yet where I want to be. I have found it a little easier to give praise where it is due, to be more patient where I need to be (I always thought I was pretty patient but have since reassessed my situation) with my kids. I have gained a higher level of adoration (if that's possible) for my wife. I have found it easier to reach out and help others, something that I have been a little selfish with. And since meeting Debi Peltola-Salmons and Billy I have developed a keener sense of focus and determination for my own goals.
Learning what I have learned from Debi Peltola-Salmons and Billy gives me a new found appreciation for the team concept, and how reaching out to others and understanding their needs can give one a clearer picture of what it takes to build a team and make it thrive. It's not enough to gather a team. You have to know how to keep them motivated through the good times and the bad, the rapid growth times, and the slow times. The Team Building Formula has much of these qualities built into it. So go ahead, build your team, but make sure you have the proper tools and direction to keep them going and learning.
