Time will never present itself to you, you have to make time.

I spoke with one of our customers to interview him for a success story recently. He left me with quite a bit to think about and inspired me at the same time. This customer is a father, a student, a manager and a planner. He just obtained his Project Management Certificate online from Boston University Corporate Education Center.

He looked at the current needs of his job, and decided for his own personal development to obtain more education. It isn't something that his employer is asking of him. He thinks that it will benefit him in the future and decided to make time for it now. The remarkable thing about this to me, is that he is also working on his MBA at the same time.

So as a working manager, MBA student with a wife and four children, he decided to further plan for his future with a PMP certification. He told me that time will never present itself to you, you have to make your own time. He also said that everything is possible, regardless of what it is. And you know what? He actually inspired me to get to the gym. I always say that I don't have time...but I just really need to follow his advice and make the time.
