The Guy Behind the Blog
My name is Billy Smith, and I am currently in my first year in the marketplace working for the nation’s largest food broker Acosta Sales and Marketing in their Leadership Development Program.
My wife and I live in St Paul, MN and one of our passions isto serve with The St Paul Urban Ministry during our free time.
Ever since my junior year in college I have been very curious about leadership. I had been able to exerience being a leader in collegiate organizations and projects, but I noticed the power of leadership. The tipping point was when I saw my lack of understanding of leadership when I failed to get a big project going for our SIFE Team. Even with this failure I have been lucky to take some leadership classes in college, but also try to spend a lot of time to read books and blogs on leadership and related topics inorder to avoid failures like this again.
Some of my accomplishments where:
- Produced a concert that grossed over $125,000 and one that grossed over $75,000
- Active and held leadership positions in Collegiate American Marketing Association, SIFE, and Campus Activities
- Awarded the Presidential Service Award
My journey in life is really just begining and there is a lot I want to do and accomplish while I am here. My goal is to take full advantage of what God has blessed me with.
You can always reach me via email if there are any questions or comments you might have.
Here are My Foundations I live by
You have been tagged for The Personal Development List (See my site for details), I would love for you to participate.
After Priscilla Palmer’s self development list Jenny and I have decided to try to help build the self development community. So we are holding a little contest. I would like to invite you, and anyone else interested, to find out more details at Win a $25 Gift Certificate.
I believe that by just being a part of “Priscilla’ Palmer’s Personal Development list obligates each of us to also post this list. You like me (Killeris at “Attitude, the Ultimate Power”) are on this list. If you have already posted it, THANK YOU. If you have not posted it, I am officially putting out a challenge that you add additional sites that fit the theme and post it. This list can be found at: http://mondaymorningpower.blogspot.com/2007/09/personal-development-list-challenge.html.
The correct link is:

Hello there! I am inviting members of Priscilla Palmer’s Personal Development List to participate in a blog series based on the Desiderata. I hope you’ll consider participating. Here is a link describing the project: Help Wanted: Desiderata Series. Thank you and have a great day.
You use the expression tipping point so guess you’ve read the book by that title, The Tipping Point. A great read for any of your readers wanting to know more about this concept.
This was an intereting site. I am now going to have to research Pricilla Palmer’s self development program. It seem there is quite a buzz about it. Thanks.
You’re terrific. I love how you’re so clear on your faith.
a very good site … i really like the concept and information provided here…. Full Cheers for you…
So good to see spirited conversations about things that matter. I hope this is not bad form, but thought you might be interested in my own work. Cheers, Mark. http://www.ArtsOfTheWiseLeader.com

You can really be suprised with your accomplishments even after you fail once. Being a good leader will really help if you start your own buisness. You don’t even need your own buisness to be a leader. You have the qualities then you should be alright
