What Is Business About?

Hi Creators and Big Thinkers,

I read this paragraph below recently in one of Dan Kennedy’s newsletters and loved it. It really resonated with me. I also think that as a woman, I had to learn the hard way that “fixing or firing or fleeing or forgetting” could be productive behaviors in business. Reread this paragraph a couple times at least and in my opinion this is so powerful it is worth reading every day during the first year of business.

“Business is about confronting an endless parade of problems and disappointments–people bearing bad news. If you are not up to that, you may very well need to exit stage left. Resiliency is the numero uno characteristic required: take a hit, re-focus fast, and get on with the fixing or firing or fleeing or forgetting or whatever other productive response that may be possible.”

To your success,
Sheri McConnell-CEO

Hi Creators and Big Thinkers!

I haven’t posted pictures in a long while… here are some recent ones of the family.
