Sky Inc. is a thriving business filled with bright-minded entrepreneurs who are shaping the future of the business industry. One of those people is Samantha Wightman, a powerhouse businesswoman on our team. Wightman joined the team in September of 2019 from the small town of Huntley, IL. The child of two very successful businesspeople, Wightman remembers watching her parents build their careers from the ground up, and from that day, the seed was planted. Samantha harnessed her natural competitive energy as a varsity golf player, which taught her the importance of a student mentality and the ability to learn from others. A childhood dream to work with children eventually led Samantha Wightman to the doors of Sky Inc., motivated by the purest drive to simply connect with others and meet new people every day.
Those with interest in business will tell you that there is no shortage of quotes from big names like Gary Vaynerchuk, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and more. It’s easy to feel motivated by millionaires, but here at Sky Inc., we want to see more discussion between the people currently grinding and working their way up the entrepreneurial ladder. We had our team collect some of Samantha Wightman’s most inspiring and motivational thoughts to reflect on the impact she’s had on our company!
“I found a great job, and a great job pushes you to be more motivated, more goal-oriented, and have a greater sense of direction for the future.” “A great office strikes a balance between energizing and motivational. I feel at home in my office with a high energy level, bumping music, and amicable people. We learn and train throughout the day, but we always remember to have fun. That’s what works for us, but it’s not the same everywhere. I have loved visiting other offices and seeing how much we are the same, but also to find what’s different and what works for them.” “I was never much of a goal setter, but now I have morning and nightly routines, and I hold myself accountable for reaching the goals I set for myself daily.” “It can be challenging to be patient with time, but I know that there are promises kept if I keep moving. I also remind myself that good things take time.” “Reaching my goals is always a proud moment. My first goal was to be promoted within two weeks — and being able to say I did, it was an incredible moment for me.” “The way people treat you is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves.” “You can make yourself feel anything you set your mind to as long as you back it up with action.” “Don’t be afraid to suck at something new for a while.”
It’s easy to see how Samantha Wightman motivates her team, but how does she drive herself? What keeps her going during the slow days or the tough ones? The team leader says that a list of goals is an essential part of her business routine. Wightman makes daily lists of work goals, as well as self-care goals, to get her out of bed and in a positive mindset each day. In five years, Wightman sees herself running a successful office of her own and continuing to inspire future entrepreneurs on a global level.
