A new month, a new outlook. I wanted to take this time to thank you. Thank you for your patience as we work through the rebuilding/re-hiring of our staff. Thank you for calling and having a chat. Thank you for being a valued client. We appreciate you. This song is your song. ?
John and I attended our first in-person business management meeting last week in Montana. It was good to get together and work ON our business with our #trustedfriendnetwork. Most of the time we are working IN our business, but to grow, you must do the things that will propel you forward.
We work hard, but there is time to enjoy where we are during meal times!
Thank you for your patience as we had staff filling roles not normally theirs, and I tried to work from the road. (Connectivity, bouncing vehicle, and reflections on a screen were a bit challenging.)

Yes, I re-gifted the song. Yes, I re-gifted information to educate you. But, that is part of my gift to you – to get you connected. It is one way I say, “Thank you.”
Want to connect some more? Give me a call!
