Tad Leithead/Leithead Consulting & Lilburn CID

Founded in 2018, Leithead Consulting uses its resources and in-depth network to identify properties that are outside of the boundaries of current Community Improvement Districts (CIDs) in order to expand their boundaries. Through this process, Leithead Consulting helps CIDs increase their revenue while also increasing their geographical size.

Leithead Consulting also assists in the creation of a Community Improvement District and supports the administrative and legal paperwork and processes required for a CID’s creation plan or expansion. The firm also finds and identifies properties that may have been overlooked, locates the building owners, and secures contact information to update a CID’s database of current and potential members.

The Lilburn Community Improvement District (CID) is a quasi-governmental entity whose members are commercial property owners. The membership voluntarily increases their property taxes to invest in local infrastructure and improvement projects.

He moved to Sugar Hill, GA in 2019 with his wife and two children because they love the area, the weather, and the wonderful people who live there.

Making Good Choices (Part 1 of 2)

00:00 /

Stewardship

Choose to be a steward of your time, talent, treasure, and relationships. Choose to see your life as an opportunity to share what you have been given with others, in a way that improves the quality of their lives. A mindset of stewardship helps release us from the tyranny of ownership.

Trust

Choose to build trust. My friend Dave says trust is built through character, competence, and caring. Character is who we are, competence is what we know, caring is what we do.

Goals

Choose to set goals. Keep the list short. No more than three to five business goals, no more than three to five personal goals. More than that, nothing is a priority because everything is.

Growth

Choose personal growth. While goals are important, the process of personal growth is critical. It is the journey of becoming who we were designed to be by our Creator, in order to maximize our impact during our time here.

Responsibility

Choose to take complete responsibility for yourself and all that comes under your domain. And choose to wear the mantle of responsibility with grace and dignity.

Grace

Choose to extend grace to yourself as well as to others. We are all on a journey. That word of kindness or encouragement could make all the difference.

Rest

Choose to rest. As finite, we must have rest. Our bodies weren’t designed to go non-stop.

Learn

Choose to be a lifetime student. Pick a language you want to learn, a culture you want to study, an author whose books you want to read.

Faithfulness

Choose to be faithful to those to whom we have committed, and to our calling and purpose. The primary mandate is not to success, or glory, or accomplishment. The primary mandate is faithfulness.

Maxwell Wolk/Raymond James

When Bob James founded Raymond James, he did so based on a belief that clients deserved more than help with investment decisions. They needed advice that considered their entire financial picture.

Today, that client-focused approach has extended to serve client accounts through 8,200 financial advisors in the United States, Canada and overseas. Further, the company has expanded through the years to serve corporations, institutions and municipalities through significant capital markets, banking and asset management services.

Their deliberate nature and thoughtful approach to financial planning has led to a history of strength and steady, stable growth. The company’s conservative approach began in 1962 when Robert James put the word “Investments” after his name. Since then, Raymond James advisors have been crafting meticulously tailored, holistic financial plans to help ensure their clients can retire and realize their individual financial goals.
