As leaders in the small business community, we have seen our share of challenges and successes these past twelve months. Please allow me to congratulate the flexibility of our Members as they quickly shifted to Zoom meetings and have continued to build each other’s businesses through this hard time. Since the majority of our Members represent the small business community, we all know how hard COVID has impacted them. Again, kudos to you for making it through with your positive entrepreneurial spirit of “Conscious Cooperation Produces Results”!

This year I learned two very difficult lessons. One, I have no control! Two, having a calendar/schedule is gone! Those of you who know me know that I have a Type A personality and really like having all my ducks in a row and know exactly when each one goes where. Ha! While these lessons were hard earned, they have been beneficial in many ways both personally and professionally. I found these two articles to be comforting and helpful, I hope you enjoy.
