| A Note from Your President... |
I know we have all had this thought, "How am I going to get through this?". What motivate us to get through these problems? All you need to do is fill in the blank of what your problem may be. Is it financial, employee problems, communication mix ups, kids, health? You name it, we've all been there.
So I thought, I'm going to look up some really awesome motivational quotes and say something profound to motivate us. There are some great quotes out there, but none of them quite hit what I was looking for. Most of them were about hard work, being good, working as a team...all great but still not it. I then found it. "With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts." -Eleanor Roosevelt
Bingo! It's our inner strength and thoughts that motivate us the most! I am blessed to be a part of such a great group of strong women. It takes a lot of new thoughts and strength to be a business owner with things ever evolving and growing. It makes it better to know that we are not alone in our journey's..
So in ending, grow and bloom like the awesome women that you are.
