2023 was the year that ‘was’. In other words, it just happened for me and 365 days later, life status for me has barely changed, but also, it has changed a whole lot. How’s that for a confusing Kevin Neal-ism? Let me explain.
The year of 2023 was a year, for me personally, of few signification life events that I can recall. This is certainly not a bad thing, not a good thing…. it’s just different from years-passed which there was always something significantly memorable.
I guess that best way to summarize this past year in a single word would be “compartmentalization”.
With both my, as well as Brandee’s parents, now safely tucked away in a beautiful Heaven waiting for a fabulous reunion, there is nothing more for Brandee and I to do for them other than respect and honor all of their legacies as best as we can do. This is both an awesome responsibility and a great duty. Brandee and I were blessed with truly fantastic parents who genuinely cared about leaving terrific legacies!
To better our lives, one of the key things I did was to discard loose-ends which means people that have chosen to cross me-once and yet I gave them another chance. Two strikes and you are out in my new book! I have a few examples of this, but I won’t explain on this public blog. I would, however, as a learning-moment for my readers of this blog, caution people of making false-claims about your fellow employees/friends or family because the overall negative impact of your lies has serious implications many years later.
Business-wise, it was another very successful year for P3iD Technologies where we overachieved on most of our key metrics. We were able to accomplish many strategic and tactical objectives including many in-person marketing events, deliver solid revenue growth, aggressively invest in software development projects, onboard new clients, and, probably the most rewarding point, participate in several non-profit initiatives to help future generations of IT professionals get started in their business careers.
In my new ‘compartmentalization’ attitude and appreciating more than ever that the most valued resource in life is my ‘time’, is my precious time being allocated towards my wife, my furry kids, and our future. I love that Brandee is so dedicated to her work and does such a terrific job on behalf of her clients. She is learning so much every day and her sense of accomplishment is so energizing. I’m also pleased to report that our five furry children of Gracie, Bleu, Ella, Finn, JC…and even a collection of Fish, all seem to be living wonderful adoptee-lives with the Neal family.
Have a Blessed and Happy New Year!
Sincerely, Kevin
