__//**T-Shandynee Dunlap, Shihnara_d@yahoo.com - Leader **//__ In general, I am a very passionate person by nature. Once I commit to an activity or idea, I pursue it with a ruthlessness that borders along the lines of obsession. Currently, one of my deepest passions is the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey. Recently, I began my own business through a company called 5LINX. This is a direct selling compnay that specializes in digital services and providing products and services that allow people to save money on bills that they already pay monthly. In order to be successful in this field, one must be completely committed and devoted to the growth of your business. I have been a business owner with this company for two weeks, and have already impressed the leaders in the company and drawn their attention towards my advancement within the company. I am determined to become a top performer within company, and provide a legacy for my daughter, and future generations within my family to come.


 * My perfect job is a successful business owner. I have always naturally assumed leadership roles and aspired to be in position I could work for myself. While I know that it would initially require extensive time away from my daughter, much to my dismay, I know that eventually it would be worth the effort. Currently, I am actually in the process of taking the steps towards having my perfect job by opening my own business through a company called [|5LINX].

My main passions are learning and challenging myself throughout life. I love learning new things that allow me to grow in all areas of life-both professionally and personally. I believe life is all about experiences and most times these have been teaching moments, although sometimes painful. On the lighter side I enjoy volunteering and community oriented activities. I get great satisfaction from helping people whether it may involve helping with financial matters or food giving. Most of all I enjoy being around family and friends who are authentic, light-hearted, and with me during both hard times and good times. " My perfect job would be a career that I have a great passion for. This career would be in financial services that would help people budget, save, and invest for future income and wealth building. My main target market would be low to middle income families. I believe this career path will allow me to be independent, creative, and explore ideas that will allow me to succeed. To be able to combine my passion for helping people with learning different aspects of the financial world would be wonderful. I am looking forward to learning how to challenge myself to greater heights and working in teams whose goals is to fulfill their passions.

As a Wildebeest, your tenacity allows you to endure when others often quit. You're resilient, persistent and have an incredible amount of stamina. You know that success often does not always mean being first, but finishing the race.

The skill of the enduring wildebeest is often admired and is a strong skill of many of today's most influential individuals. One such individual which exemplified the power of endurance was Ernest Shackleton.

Ernest Shackleton, the first person to reach the South Pole, clearly demonstrated the skills of a Wildebeest. After his shipwreck, he camped on floating ice to keep himself and his crew alive for 497 days before rescuing every single one of them. Harvard Business School did a case study on this enduring voyage.

__//**<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">Verice Smith, Verice7@aol.com - Scribe **//__ I have a strong passion for the Mortgage and Real Estate Industry. Why, because my husband died when our baby was just 5 months old. It was at that time I became a single parent and was struggling to maintain our household. I knew I must return to work to managed the care of my son and keep a roof over our head. The Social Security death benefits were not enough to make that happen. It was at that time I begin to want to start my own business of some kind. I did not know what type of business but I knew I had to start something of my own in order to stay home with my son. At that time I just refused to put him in a daycare. I wanted to care for my own child. I found where I was able to get my merchandise wholesale and I started a Flea Market Business and would work it on the weekends. That brought in some decent income that enable me to handle the bills much better.

It was some time later when I began to think about Real Estate after seeing an infomercial about an at home real estate course. I only thought about it because I knew if I became an Agent or an Investor I could buy up properties and would always have a home to call my own. And I also knew that by my son having just one parent left and if something happened to me he too will always have a home. That was the real purpose of me wanting that type of business. However, that reason changed after I purchased the course and started learning about Real Estate. It was at that time I developed a love/passion for that industry.

Some distractions. They caused me to redirect my thinking for about 15 years. Not only did I put off the real estate business, I totally went in another direction. I guess you can say the directions were pretty much the same, I just started working for a company from home, which had me preoccupied for that moment. But no matter what it was I did I always thought about real estate. Which is what I am thinking about today. I did train myself in the basic of real estate and mortgages. But I've decided I am going to take the exam and get my mortgage license first. I am in the process of that now, thanks to Lifebushido. I have begun to considered my passion once again for real this time, and set getting my license as a goal. So much more to be said, but I'll stop it here. I have trained and studied many things along the way.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">My perfect job is to work from home in a career that I have a passion for, something I enjoy doing everyday. It will include simplicity and complexity; duties that make me think and ponder the outcome. It certainly must allow creativity in order to fulfill and complete each day. Because I love to learn, it must include some form of basic research. I must love talking about my job to others, if I don't talk about it, then I'm not enjoying it, if I'm not enjoying it, then I'm not satisfied with it. I will like for it to include some phone work, however, phone work must not be the focus ofthe job. I must feel free and not like a noose is around my neck. It must be flexible and allow me to choose my working hours. I must be happy in what I am doing. That is when I perform my best work.

You are the Graceful Giraffe!

Your innate skills mirror those of a graceful Giraffe. You're considerate, kindhearted and generous. You understand that integrity isn't something you do - it's something you are. You understand that to achieve long-term success, people both inside and outside the organization, play a vital role. The skill of the graceful giraffe is usually the glue that keeps companies and teams together.

The word “grace” tends to vary in meaning from one person or situation to another, often depending upon the context in which it is used. While many see the grace of the giraffe in human-like terms such as elegance, charm, or a positive attitude, others consider it to be divine in origin. They believe that it represents that indispensable gift for the development, improvement, and expansion of one’s character.

No matter how you see it, grace is a disposition that requires compassion toward others and the desire to extend goodwill. It incorporates the exercise of love and kindness—most importantly, to those who may not deserve it. Grace is as crucial in business as it is in life.

This truth is embedded in the fiber of who we are, what we believe, our appreciation, and the contribution we make to society. Gracious people exhibit the following characteristics:


 * They seek to make others feel like they’re the most important person with whom they can spend time, and always put the needs of others first.
 * They live according to personal standards that are higher than any given code of conduct, and incorporate dignity, honor, and respect in extending grace to others—even when things have not gone their way.

This passion is evident whether it is a stranger or someone I know. I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren and one wonderful husband. All of them are my passions. I enjoy seeing them happy and content. I also have a passion for helping those I don't know, and I enjoy talking to different ones in the house to house ministry work. Because my passion is to see people happy and content I believe there is a lot the Bible offers to help people achieve a happier state of life. I believe my passion to help people will also serve Lifebushido well. In a customer service oriented business a person trying to do their best to make sure clients are happy with the services and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure everyone is taken care of is a person that is passionate and some one that you need to hire."
