Grateful For Mavericks, Trailblazers & Innovators

By
Commercial Real Estate Agent with Trans State Commercial Realty Inc. 0516472

Do you ever ponder what came before, what is happening now and what will occur tomorrow?

Mavericks, Trailblazers and Innovators are what I am particularly grateful for as they provide inspiration to become a better person, leave the planet a better place than when I arrived and what I can accomplish before I close my eyes permanently.  How about you?

Let's take Innovators  

 

An innovator is someone that improves or revolutionizes an industry. They introduce new ideas, methods and products.  Innovators are creative, problem- solvers and risk takers.  They push boundaries of what is possible.  They are key to progress, driving change and shaping the future with entirely new ways of thinking or doing things.

 

Pioneer Women Trailblazers

Pioneer Women

A trailblazer is someone who is the first to do something or leads the way for others to follow. Unchartered territory, breaking new ground and leaders who inspired other to follow in their footsteps

 

Amelia Earhart - talk about a passion for adventure! She was instrumental supporter of women's rights. Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for her solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame.

 

American frontierswomen, sharpshooters and storytellers: Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley

 

Women Mavericks

Women Maverick

 

A maverick refers to someone who is independent-minded and unconventional. Often times willing to go against the grain of established norms and traditions.

 

s. Sacagawea was a Lemhi Shoshone woman best known for her expedition with Lewis and Clark through the territory of Louisiana Purchase. She traveled from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean with the explorers.

 

Susan B. Anthony played a pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement that became the 19the Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

 

Louisa May Alcott worked to support her family through financial difficulties at an early age and managed to write "Little Women" one of the most famous novels in American history.

 

What contributions remain? How will we overcome evil versus good in the coming years? Exciting times ahead is my prediction. Will you sit on the sidelines or choose to participate in your cause?

 

I am glad we have our freedom to embrace and inspire the next generation to become better citizens.

Hello Eileen - admittedly, my initial thoughts upon reading your post title were of sports teams.   That's rather unusual because my familiarity with that world leaves me by the sidelines often.  Your post took a much different direction - thank goodness for the old switcheroo, huh?   Anyway, I like how you worked the title into the narrative of the story told.  And the ones that remain to be accomplished and shared.

Good morning Eileen Burns 954.483.3912 . Years ago when I wrote the Vision Statement for my Executive Consulting Practice, I incorporated the words "trail blazer." Today living our here in the high desert, those two words still ring quite true. Great post and thank you.

Hi Eileen.
Where would we be without Trailblazers and Innovators, and Mavericks. I took your post and converted it to a poem with the help of ChatGPT. I hope you like it.

Pioneers of Progress

Do you ever ponder the paths that came before,
The echoes of now, and the whispers of tomorrow’s shore?
Grateful am I for Mavericks, Trailblazers, and Innovators bold,
Who inspire us to leave the world brighter, more gold.

Innovators
Innovators—creators of dreams untamed,
Through their hands, industries forever changed.
Ideas ignited, methods refined,
Boundaries shattered by visionary minds.
Problem-solvers, risk-takers, daring and new,
They shape tomorrow with a clearer view.

Trailblazers
Trailblazers tread where none have gone,
Through uncharted lands, they march at dawn.
Amelia Earhart soared through skies unknown,
Her courage a beacon, her legacy sown.
Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley, with grit and aim,
Their stories endure, lighting history's flame.

Maverick Women
Mavericks walk paths both rugged and free,
Unconventional minds shaping destiny.
Sacagawea, guide through a nation untamed,
Her strength and wisdom forever proclaimed.
Susan B. Anthony, with a suffragist’s fight,
Secured a future for equal rights.
Louisa May Alcott, penning dreams profound,
Her tales of "Little Women" still resound.

A Call to Action
What of the battles yet to unfold,
Between good and evil, the daring, the bold?
Will you sit on the sidelines, watching the strife,
Or rise to shape a more meaningful life?

Freedom we hold, a treasure profound,
To inspire, to uplift, where hope is found.
Let us empower the next generation,
To embrace progress and build a great nation.

So ponder the past, the now, the morrow,
And find in yourself a light to borrow.
For the Mavericks, the Trailblazers, the Innovators who came,
Have paved the way—now ignite your flame.

Sacagawea not only traveled with Lewis and Clark as she saved their lives by taking them to her tribe after the ascended the Rocky Mountains too late in the year to make it over and had to spend the Winter. Yes a great woman.

Hi Eileen- Where would we be without the innovations and trailblazers of those who came before us....especially women. I can't imagine being one of the first to head west, not knowing what you'd encounter.

Innovators certainly pave a path for people who have never even thought of doing certain things until they see someone else doing them, haha.

Hey there, Eileen! I don't know how on earth I didn't get a comment here but, thought I had! You are so right - I'm not sure where we would be without mavericks, trailblazers and innovators and certainly do see you as a trailblazer if ever there was one! A woman in commercial real estate is not as uncommon now as it was when you began doing it but, boy, you inspire so many folks with your knowledge of this business...and how you blazed trails in commercial real estate.

Have you read the book, "1000 White Women?" No, it's not what you think but, boy is it ever powerful.
