If you are in the Lincoln area, you never know whom you may meet, greet, and learn from at a Lincoln Independent Business Association event – including these cardboard characters!

In addition to the cardboard characters, the 6 “S”es of Success was the focus of recent guest speakers Blake Lawrence and Adi Kunalic. Lawrence and Kunalic shared their perspectives to success that they have learned both as former college and professional football players and as entrepreneurs:

1.) Solve Problems
2.) Sudden Change – be prepared to take what you have learned and apply it to a new situation
3.) Self-Awareness
4.) Start
5.) Scale – focus on your opportunity to be the best, being efficient and doing more with less
6.) Support

Lawrence and Kunalec are the co-founders of opendorse, a business that helps secure and activate athlete social media campaigns. Lawrence and Kunalec also founded and have since sold hurrdat, a digital marketing agency.

Thanks to Lawrence and Kunalic for concisely sharing their success insights balanced with humor and humility – and more personality than the cardboard characters. Nice presentation – with a video here.
