You could do a lot worse than Mark Cicarelli. From a distance, he is an average man. Short, potentially Thick, with military Hair, and a crooked Smile that you aren't sure is welcoming. Moving closer, you see he is a Boston guy. Home-team tattoos, Hometown Pride, and an accent he will deny exists. That is the cover portrait. If that is as deep as you get with Mark, it will be your loss. In fact, regardless of the fact that he is the Law, steal a few things from "Chick" if you can: He is a Tireless Worker-give him a Task and he tackles it head on with few interruptions and fewer excuses. He is Genuine-he takes Responsibility for the Positives and Negatives of who he is. He is Coachable-tell him what he can Improve/Did Wrong and he wants to fix it. He enjoys being Coached. He makes others Better-be his Partner for a day, but hurry, as someone will probably grab him before you do. He is never "looking" for a Partner. He is Happy for Other People's Success-he wants you to do Well and it "Fuels" him to Improve. He "Enjoys the Process"-from when he walks in IPF until he walks out, the is very little Negative Energy coming off the man. He is having fun. Mark Cicarelli is a regular guy...with 7 kids, a crazy wife (we LOVE Suzy), a tough Job, Huge Arms, and a tight shirt that he would gladly give you off of his back. Steal a few qualities from people like Mark so that you can realize that you aren't born great, you Build Great. The Common Man ("Man" is Non-Gender Specific) made our Country what it is, and makes IPF a Special Place-we have a bunch of them baby-make yourself one of them!
