Monday Motivation-Team!!!

Happy Monday, Cadre crew. We're back. It's Luke, your chief motivational officer here, one of the founders of Cadre. So excited to have you here and chit chat a little bit about getting off to just a great start this week. So I wanted to take you back to the previous week. Cadre participated in the second largest startup event in the country. I think it's only behind Houston, which is a Minnesota startup week. Cadre was nominated for a couple awards, one being the Bootstrapper award, another being the emerging startup.

So there's eight total awards, and Cadre took home two of them. So we were really excited about that with the emerging startup and the bootstrap reward. The Bootstrap award is something that means so much to me, and why is because it's about our team and our team's ability to, you know, with their passion, grit, you know, things like grit, perseverance, dedication, all those things that I believe are just internal, innate. It's just how hard are you willing to work for it and, you know, and fight for our cause, right?

So, you know, our mission, vision, values are very, very important to us as a group. And I'm just so proud of this team and how we've all come together to figure out what it is that we need to do and continue on this grind together in this, this, this early stages of a startup. Startups are hard. Oh, gosh, they're difficult. But I'm so proud of this team, our partners, our collaborators, our creators, our coaches, all individuals that are working with Cadre and really establishing the baseline for expectations today and our future.

So I'm beyond proud. Again, these awards are absolutely a team awards. As a leader, I'm just saying I'm so proud of this team. It's very exciting. And so what I want to share with you today about this motivation is, you know, that's, that's a tough hill to climb. That's a tough hill to climb when you're alone, but when you're together and you got the right people and you got the right group of individuals, and although it's hard work and everything, it can be so much fun and it can be so much rewarding.

And so those rewards, albeit humbling, were also just kind of like a moment where you pause and you just share as a team, like, we did this, we can do this. And I'm beyond, and I know I keep using this word a lot, but proud. And I'm just so proud of this team that this is how we show up, that this is our culture and this is how we drive our business and this is how we support each other, cheer one another on. We fight fair and we do what we need to do. So if our business can do this and start up and work through all these things together in 1112 short months, I'm telling you, you can do it, too.

You can start your own enterprise. You can build something, maybe internally at a company that you're working for. You can make the changes that you need to do. There is an adage. If you want to go somewhere fast, you go alone. You want to go somewhere far, you go together. And our team is doing it together. And again, I'm so proud of Cadre and, and being recognized for those awards. Winning them is a cherry on top, don't get me wrong. But again, with that being said, anybody who's listening today can do it, too.

We have the team of leaders to help guide and support that. Whether it's our coaching team, whether it's a collaborator team, our business leaders that can help share some of these inspirational and influential stories of change to help drive you and motivate you and lead you. We have some amazing live streams that are coming up the duration of the week. Please be on the lookout for those next. Hopefully our coaching will be starting up very, very soon. I believe everything is just getting finalized to be able to roll that out, not only to the public, to the businesses as well.

So be on the lookout. Our Cadre commitments, our September Cadre commitments are being finalized. So hopefully you've been having an amazing month. With that, our October are ready to go. So be on the lookout for the October Cadre commitments. We've got a lot going on and you can always look at any one of our social handles at Wecadre to find any updates or news on our social and then on our website, Cadre IO. If you're ever looking for our blogs or some of those other maybe articles or things that we're going to be driving on our website in time.

But with that being said, so excited to have you on this journey. You can do it, too. You can. If you put your mind to anything, I know you can do it. We are proof here at Cadre that, you know, a chip chair and a chance is all you need and an amazing team to start driving some real change in this world. If we can do it, you can do it. Have an amazing week. Take care of y'all.
