  A few weeks ago, I had a total hip replacement, and if there's one thing I've learned, it’s that recovery has a way of teaching you patience. We live in a world that celebrates speed and quick results, but healing doesn't work that way. Some days your biggest accomplishment is taking a few extra steps. Other days it's simply getting through the day with a little less discomfort than the day before. Those may seem like small victories, but they matter more than we realize. The Get2ten philosophy is not about perfection, it's about progress. Right now, your "10" may not look like running a marathon or conquering a major goal. It may be getting out of bed on your own, walking to the mailbox, or making it through the night without pain waking you up. And that's okay. Every small win creates momentum. Every step forward, no matter how small, is proof that you're moving closer to where you want to be. Recovery isn't about getting back to wher...

  You know how we all love to wear our independence like a badge of honor? We tell ourselves, "I’ve got this. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone." We say it so often we start to believe it. Well, I recently put that whole "I can do it myself" attitude to the ultimate test and let me tell you—reality kicked my butt. Four weeks ago, I had a total hip replacement. Going into it, I was determined to handle the whole recovery on my own. My logic seemed totally sound at the time: my mom is 90, and my husband is 75. The last thing I wanted to do was weigh them down or stress them out. But if I’m being completely honest with you? It wasn’t just about protecting them. I was just too proud. I was so wrapped up in my own stubborn determination that I couldn't admit I was facing something way too big to handle alone. Thank God for family. A relative of mine, who had already been through two hip replacements herself, just showed up at my door. She didn’t wait for an...

  April always feels like a quiet checkpoint to me. The year is no longer “new,” the goals we set in January have either picked up momentum… or gotten a little quiet. And that’s okay. This is the time to check in with yourself, not judge, not overthink, but simply ask, “Am I still moving toward my 10?” Life doesn’t always follow the timeline we planned. Things shift, priorities change, and sometimes we get tired. But none of that means you’re off track. It just means you’re human. Progress isn’t always loud; it’s often found in the small decisions you make every day to keep going. What I’ve learned is you don’t need to start over; you just need to realign. April is your reminder that it’s not too late to refocus, reset your energy, and recommit to what matters most. Maybe your “10” looks a little different now than it did a few months ago, that’s growth. Give yourself permission to adjust without giving up. Take a breath, make one clear move forward, and build from there. B...

The other day, I found myself thinking about what we used to call the “good old days” in business, and honestly, those days don’t look the same anymore. There’s a new generation out here doing some amazing things—organized, financially smart, and really making their mark. And I love seeing it. But with all that movement, growth, and responsibility, one thing still hasn’t changed, we can get so busy taking care of everything and everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves. Because the truth is, you can’t pour into your family, your business, or your team if you’re running on empty. At some point, you’ve got to pause and check in with yourself. Sometimes that just means being honest about what’s working, what’s not, what you need, and what you’ve been putting off. Along the way, we’re going to mess up. We’re going to have moments where we feel frustrated, disappointed or downright mad at ourselves. That’s part of it. Zig Ziglar said “Winners are ex-losers who got mad and deci...

 The world is moving faster, challenges are showing up more often, and many of us are being asked to lead through uncertainty. Strong leadership doesn’t always come from the loudest voice in the room, it often comes from the steady voices that bring encouragement, clarity, and resilience when people need it most. I’m especially grateful for the women who lead with strength, compassion, and the ability to keep people moving forward even during challenging times. Leadership today is less about perfection and more about progress lifting others, creating stability, and helping people move a little closer to their “10” each day. Honestly, the world could use more of that kind of leadership right now. Question for reflection: What leadership qualities do you believe people need most right now?

By: Anita Starks, Get2ten Wellness March is a time to recognize the impact and influence of women who lead with strength, purpose, and resilience. Throughout my professional journey, I have been truly blessed to be surrounded by remarkable women who poured into my life both personally and professionally. Many served as mentors in business and in faith, teaching me how to navigate both success and failure with grace, confidence, and integrity. No matter the circumstance, they always encouraged me to stand tall and keep moving forward. In honor of Women's History Month, I want to offer a heartfelt thank you to those women whose guidance, wisdom, and encouragement helped shape the leader I am today. Women's History Month gives us a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the leadership lessons that continue to shape communities, organizations, and future generations. Leadership is about growth, service, and helping others reach their highest potential. Women across industries consi...

  Mental wellness impacts leadership, productivity, and how we show up for others. At Get2ten , we remind our clients and teams that you don’t have to reach a “10” every day. But you should take intentional steps toward it. This week’s focus: ✔ Protect your energy ✔ Simplify something ✔ Set one boundary ✔ Schedule moments of peace - DAILY On a scale of 1–10, where are you today? What’s one action you’ll take to move one point higher? — Anita Starks Director of Operations Get2ten Consulting

  By Anita Starks | Get2ten Wellness Employee loyalty should be at the top of every employer’s priority list and integrated into the core of your business strategy. In today’s workplace, loyalty is no longer built solely on pay and benefits—it is built on how employees feel . When organizations protect mental health, remove unnecessary stress, and create supportive environments, loyalty follows naturally. At Get2ten Wellness, we believe a healthy workforce is a loyal workforce. When employees feel supported emotionally, mentally, and professionally, they are more engaged, more productive, and more committed to the organization’s mission. Simplify the Work Experience Leaders who gain loyalty do so by removing barriers for everyone else. Their role is not to create pressure, but to create clarity. Simplifying processes, reducing unnecessary stress, and making expectations clear helps employees perform at their best without burnout. Ask yourself: Are we overloading our team? ...

  February 2026 : Building Your 10 with Clarity, Confidence, and Wellness February is the month where intention turns into consistency. At Get2ten Consulting , we view this time as an opportunity to reset with purpose—strengthening the habits, mindset, and support systems that help individuals and organizations perform at their best without burnout. This month also aligns with important national observances, including Black History Month , American Heart Month , and Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month , reminding us that wellness, resilience, and healthy relationships are foundational to sustainable success. Our February focus centers on three essentials: clarity, confidence, and whole-person wellness . Clarity allows you to move with direction instead of pressure. Confidence is built through small, consistent actions—not personality traits.

  As we step into this New Year, I want to take a moment—on behalf of Get2ten —to reflect on the incredible potential that lies ahead of us. This season invites us to release old burdens, forgive those who may have wronged us, and move forward with clarity and purpose. Remember, forgiveness is for you . When you forgive, you loosen the emotional hold of the past. Forgive—and let it go. Life is precious and often far too short. At Get2ten, we believe in miracles, the power of prayer, and the strength that comes from perseverance. Keep pushing forward toward your goals and never forget—you are not alone. Growth happens best in community, whether through social groups, faith-based connections, sports, service, or shared passions. Together, we rise. Now is the time to pursue the dreams you’ve been postponing. Go for that promotion. Start that podcast. Write and publish your book. Step into something new—even if it scares you—whether that’s learning a new skill, speaking in public, ...

Continuing this months topic of how to build a loyal workforce, I want to talk about initiating loyalty first to employees and producing action from your plans. Reciprocate – The biggest secret is to give loyalty first. If you want employees to go above and beyond for you, you must go above and beyond for them. The best leaders get this. They fight for the team, and in return, the team fights for them. This doesn’t mean that you must give them more financially. There are many non-financial rewards you can give that will help build loyalty, such as giving respect and praise, having an employee of the month being flexible when they need time off, and listening to their suggestions and feedback .   Putting Your Plan into Action – To put this plan into action, take some time to focus on your employee loyalty. Work at building a loyal team and doing what it takes to make that happen. It may take you coming to terms with the fact that you need to replace a few pe...

Employee loyalty should be at the top of the list for every employer, and be integrated into your business strategy. It’s that important! Simplify – Those leaders who gain loyalty do it by removing barriers for everyone else. Their primary job is to continuously make everyone else’s job easier. If your employee sees you trying to help make their job easier, they will be much more loyal. Lines of Communication – Often, as business leaders, we tend to focus all our attention on the consumers and our bottom line. But what we must realize is that when we turn some of that attention and focus to our employee’s loyalty, it will automatically help us reach those other goals. Employees who are loyal will provide better customer service and will be more apt to helping your business grow. Evaluate – The first thing you need to do is recognize that some people are naturally loyal, while others are not. You may need to replace those people who are not loyal and Re-place th...

Carrying out the pursuit of our hopes and dreams is a privilege. Here at "Get2ten" we realize things take hard work and sacrifice to make great. This weekend we want all of our friends and associates to take this holiday as an opportunity to give thanks to those who currently serve, and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this beautiful country. Life can get busy but we can't take for granted the most important parts of our tenacious countries foundation, our military family.

We often find ourselves in positions where others are calling on us for help in a busy time for ourselves. In a work related environment it is important to think as a team when it comes to progressing in work. It may seem like your work is accomplished when your done with your part, but if your team as a whole doesn't cross the finish line, neither do you. Even when it seems your a small part of a business and your help looks pointless. You can make a positive imprint on co-workers that can benefit you and your team. We all have goals and dreams we want to accomplish. Turning them into reality takes a team. Liberate your team members, motivate yourself, and strive to do your best each day.

It takes a lot to stop doing something you have grown accustomed to doing every day. Bad habits can cause your life to go zero from hundred real quick. What keeps us from breaking free is not always ourselves, but who we are surrounded by. You have just as much potential as who you see as a heroic figure. What separates you from that desired state of being is choices made in everyday decisions. We do not sometimes see ourselves being influenced by others. It’s an instilled desire to want to be like our piers. This isn’t always a bad thing, but when they are creating setbacks in your life a change needs to happen. So how can you try to make more independent thought-out decisions? Step away from others opinions and think about what’s the best route for your success. Here at “Get2ten” we will never direct you to a job that won’t benefit your career. We want you to succeed, not go from job to job chasing checks. You’re worth every ounce of endurance that it takes for you to be the pers...

Settling for what life gives you can be a motto for those who feel they are at the bottom of society. The truth is everyone has bumps in the road. We have injury due to accidents or emotional troubles because of an impacting event. The problems we face hang over our lives until solved. The image of your errors when you look into the mirror is not the truth of who you are. That mistake may have saved you from a far worse one, that loss may have allowed you to appreciate the one life you have, and that unique trait you have can be your biggest blessing. Nothing is done in one day, but "getting 2ten" will happen if you put in the effort.   Don’t hesitate or be ashamed to take a helping hand.   Disability program at "Get2ten" is here to help.
