About Me.

My name is Melvin Davis and I am living proof that anyone can accomplish their dreams if they are willing to commit to doing a few things. First, you have to be willing to put God first in your life. As a Christian, my number one goal on a daily basis is that my actions and conversations bring glory to God. When I fall short of that standard, then I repent by asking God for his forgiveness as well as strength that I might do a better job of being a good representative for him. Second, you have to decide what your goals are, put a plan in place to help you reach those goals, and work your plan. Sometimes being successful requires some great luck or being in the right place at the right time. However, more often then not it results from good old fashion hard work because there is no substitute for hard work. Finally, surround yourself with people that support your dreams and will be willing to pour into you. I have been fortunate to have a great support system that starts with my amazing wife (Alisha Davis). If the people in your inner circle are naysayers or pessimistic, then it will be hard to overcome that degree of negativity.
