YP Roundtable with Patrick Atkinson Recap

Posted by Amy Brown on Friday, September 28th, 2018 in Event News, Latest News, Professional Tips | Comments (0)

Over 30 young professionals and community leaders attended a YP Roundtable with Patrick Atkinson on Wednesday, September 19th.  The event was held at the BSC National Energy Center of Excellence Auditorium.  Thanks to BSC for hosting the event!

While working for a crisis line in college Patrick was exposed to the “underbelly of the beast” and the needs of a hurting world.  After college graduation in 1981, he turned down numerous lucrative corporate job offers to work with runaways, prostitutes, and gang members in New York City.  His work brought him to many countries within Central America.  Founded in 1991, the GOD’S CHILD Project helped three children on day one.  Within its third year, they were helping 400 children.  Today they provide essential care for over 5,000 children and 8,700 widows and single mothers in Guatemala, El Salvador, India, Malawi and the United States.  For many years the GOD’S CHILD Project was funded through Mr. Atkinson’s books, articles, modeling, productions and inventions (www.atkinsoncenter.org).

6 Take Aways from Patrick

  1. Be an entrepreneur for social good. Know yourself. Know what you know and know what you don’t know.
  2. Don’t be afraid to say “yes”, give it a try and give it your best.
  3. Running a charity is running a business. You have to first pay payroll, second taxes and third insurance. Having a legal structure is very important.
  4. Having a “charitable heart” is not the same as running a charity corporation.
  5. You have to take care of yourself to avoid burnout. You are a valuable asset.
  6. It is important to build the machine and build the background of your company. Make sure you hit the “reset” button once you reach the point in your business where you realize “this is bigger than me”.

Mr. Atkinson current serves as CEO and is the founder of The GOD’S CHILD Project (www.GodsChild.org), an international network of charities, which includes the Institute for Trafficked, Exploited & Missing Persons (www.ITEMP.org). He serves on for-profit and non-profit boards of directors, and is the author / co-author of six books, including the international selling Message for My Child and The Powerful You.

Thank you, Patrick, for speaking to the Bismarck-Mandan Young Professionals Network!

YPN PD Team kicks off 2017 Professional Image series with Dress for Success

Posted by Jamie Jackson on Monday, February 27th, 2017 in Event News, Latest News, Professional Tips | Comments (0)

DFS1

Dress for Success was held February 16th at the Riverwood Office Complex where a group of YPN members gathered for the first in a series of Professional Development team events designed to help YPN members perfect their Professional Image. The PD team chose to start the year off by offering an event to help YPN members put their best foot forward when dressing for the workplace. Making that crucial first impression count when meeting with clients, customers, and co-workers is an important part of your Professional Image. Led by our Wardrobe Expert Dave, members were walked through the differences in Business vs. Business Casual vs. Casual and what those mean in the workplace. DFS2Dave offered up a myriad of great tips ranging from the simple (always match your belt color to your shoes) to the more advanced (don’t wear your flashiest suit to an interview – it can draw the interviewer’s attention away from you). Basics such as how to tie a tie, getting properly fit for clothing, and complimenting outfit colors were also shared with the attendees.

Overall it was a great opening event for the 2017 Professional Image series and the PD team encourages all YPN members to keep an eye out throughout the year for more opportunities!

A big Thank You goes out to YPN members Bill Heinzen for coordinating our speaker and Kate Black for graciously hosting!

Entrepreneur Spotlight: Tim Juelson, MD

Posted by Young Professionals on Friday, February 3rd, 2017 in Entrepreneur Spotlight, Latest News, Personal Interest, Professional Tips | Comments (1)

Tim Juelson Head and Shoulder

 

Name: Tim Juelson

Age: 38

Hometown:  Hillsboro, ND

Education: The Andrews Institute (FL), University of Missouri (UMKC), UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences

Name of Business: The Bone & Joint Center

Bismarck Surgical Associates

SOMIA, LLC (commercial property)

La Salle Partners, LLC (Hay Creek Shops)

Business Type: Medical – Orthopaedic Sports Surgeon at The Bone & Joint Center, Bismarck Surgical Associates

Hay Creek Investor/Governing Board

Personal Real Estate Business – SOMIA, LLC

Other partnerships on additional ventures (LLC’s/LLP’s)

How I got started:

I was always interested in orthopaedic sports surgery after I tore my own ACL. In high school I wanted to become an orthopaedic sports surgeon which only requires an additional 14 years of school of training, so there were a few naysayers along the way! Somehow I was fortunate to obtain a sports fellowship with Dr. Andrews and loved working in Florida while taking care of the athletes we watch on TV. Ultimately, I got started when I was young and my parents taught me about a work ethic, perseverance, and dedication.

Throughout all this I have always been interested in finance and investing. We took a loan after the stock market crash in 2009 to buy stocks and have continued ever since that time. My brother has worked in finance since the early 2000’s so he has also been a great influence. I have been blessed to have some great partners at Bone & Joint and BSA who are involved in various business ventures who have been great mentors. My wife and I have our own property business that we started last year and our properties are growing each year.

What I do every day:  

Surgery, clinic, take care of the University of Mary athletes, medical board meetings, other business meetings, and most importantly enjoy my wonderful wife and two daughters.

Successes:  

My family

The Bone & Joint Center, BSA, SOMIA, working with the University of Mary athletes, teaching other orthopaedic surgeons from around the world various sports procedures in Chicago at the Orthopaedic Learning Center

We published a paper in the Journal of Arthroscopy last year while here in Bismarck

Challenges:  We face them every day in medicine, surgery, real estate, personal life and other businesses. It helps us grow and better ourselves.

Advice for other young professionals:   Figure out solutions when others are hung up on other things that just serve as distractors (disappointment, complaining, etc.). Don’t be afraid to dream too big or worry about obsessing about your work. Work and life balance is excellent when one loves their jobs and is able to enjoy quality family time also. We involve our kids in as much of our businesses as possible. They have a great start and have each purchased a couple shares of Disney and Apple so that they can learn the ups and down of finance.
