Net Worth - the two words

One of the most popular combinations of words used by an Entrepreneur are "Net Worth" and it's become my life goal to PERFECT the combination of these two powerful words.  This is NOT about money but about NET WORTH!  My thoughts...

 BUSINESS: In Business, your net worth is all about the dollar amount you have in disposable income after all things are said and done.  It's about the footprint you leave on everybody else as you climb to the American Dream of working bell to bell and counting your successes and failures in the experience called a career which in turn becomes a number. When you arrive at your first, second or final goal do you look back and decide for yourself what the Net Worth of all things done has cost you and everyone you touched?

 FAMILY: In Family, your net worth can be so many different things.  Your relationship with your mate or your calculation of how well you DIDN'T mess up your kids and could also be measured by the amount of "collateral damage" you either got away with or minimized.  When you look at your mate, your children, spouses and uncles, aunts, parents as a "unit" can you measure your success in your interaction with all of them?  In my humbling opinion, it's about how much you cared to be a positive and impactful member of your family unit.  We all have moments but when you look from the glass house, what is your true Net Worth in your family unit?

 FRIENDSHIPS: You choose your friends which is the only difference in the Net Worth of this important part of our lives and that of Family.  I had the great fortune of spending a morning golfing recently with a great friend and it's why I was motivated to write this blog today.  The takeaway from our 5 hour round together was summed up in only a few minutes of the early morning together. The friendships you choose to participate in can mold your every day actions and your perceived happiness. What can you say about the Net Worth of the relationships you choose to participate in?

 LEGACY: When all is said and done, can you measure your moments in everything with a Net Worth statement of how and when you have impacted others? What would everyone around you say is the Net Worth of your existence in the time you spent with others?

 FUTURE: It's not hard in my opinion to SET your Net Worth in the future.  From all of life's lessons I've decided to be impactful and worthy of my existence TO others.  I'm dedicated to making a difference tomorrow and ever day I have.  This sets my Personal Net Worth at such a high level that I am excited to wake up every morning and it reminds me of the anxiety and uplifting feeling of waking up on Christmas morning as a young lad.  How will you motivate yourself and be a visionary of your own destiny in order to DEFINE your True Net Worth?

 SUMMARY: In my experiences, and there have been many, defining my Net Worth to others is something I can do that drives directly back to my own happiness and Net Worth.  Finding a way to focus my energy on positive thoughts and actions gives me more pleasure than counting the numbers in the Business Net Worth.  What measurement will you use and what are your metrics in Net Worth?

WIT - What you may not know about this phrase...

Wit is defined as a form of intelligent humor of course, however, the WIT I'm referring to is not that simple.  It's an acronym that our partner Microsoft uses alongside many other other organizations and partners throughout the industry.  This blog is all about how these "WIT" people have enabled RyanTech. W OMEN I N T ECHNOLOGY At RyanTech we've worked very hard to create an image of credibility, investment and second to none support for our customers.  Over the years we've invested time in organizations such as EO ( The Entrepreneur's Organization ), IAMCP ( The International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners ) as well as the MCC ( Microsoft Community Connections ) and participated in the Partner Engagement Board for Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference.  All of these engagements have brought value to Me as the CEO and the company as a whole however what's most important about these engagements is that it's taught me to h...

If you had an opportunity to give a room of graduates advice, what would you say?

This would be the most touching opportunity I could ever embrace.  I did not graduate college. I did NOT succeed or did I?  I did WIN and I did NOT WIN. How does one contradict ones self?  Simply through drive and love. Where do you think the name RyanTech came from? Me? Nope!  Although if I had a dollar for every time I was called Ryan I'd be filthy rich. This young man named Ryan is my son and he's done an amazing job with life.  Working summers, winters and after school time in college at George Fox University where he recently graduated with his BA and prior to that being educated at Modesto Christian School since Kindergarten. He's the best McMillen to have ever been gifted life.  He's married to an amazing woman, Cortney, who graduated from Corbin University in only three years and invested time at Oxford.  What a resume! From the day he was born I told him "You're going to college no matter what it takes" and he lived the dream of gettin...

Cutting Edge Mercedes Dealer in Gilbert, AZ embraces cloud

www.mbgilbert.com facility photo This past month has been exciting for the community in Gilbert, AZ after the long awaited opening of Mercedes Benz of Gilbert when they unveiled their amazing facility. Throughout the period of time that the dealership has been constructed we have been visiting, involved and overjoyed by what the owners Charlie and Audrey Alfano have accomplished. To our delight we have been witness on their use of Cloud Technology like Office365.   When you arrive at the dealership you'll be greeted by an amazing reception, branded water bottles and Free WiFi.  Their sales professionals have an open demeanor and are listeners unlike some of the experiences we've had in visiting similar facilities in the area. The lot is FULL of pre-owned cars and the NEW cars they have on display include AMG super-cars as well as an experience center that reminds me of the XBox displays at Microsoft Stores.  With this experience center you can listen to ...
