New Year, New Opportunities

cloudsI was going to take a pass on writing this week. It’s a lazy week, full of family invasion and distraction. But I have been chatting with several of my industry clients and friends and I thought I might offer these words of encouragement. Last February, as I guided a well attended panel discussion with industry professionals aptly titled, Navigating the Storm, there was a great deal of trepidation. The question was, who will sink and who will swim? Those of you, who battened down, steered the course and kept your eyes on the horizon are still here. All the messages I mentored in that dialog are still valid and those of you with whom I consulted and benefited from my input, I wish to thank you for your patronage. We are at the beginning  of a New Year. I still believe that all of your success and all of your future cash flow resides in insuring the infrastructure of your business has been correctly analyzed and put in order. So, have a happy and prosperous New Year.  The storm is clearing.

Crisis changes the dynamic. It’s an opportunity to do things you could not do before.”

    Your quotes are great! It is the challenging times that forces you as a business owner to revisit/ relook at our systems and offerings. We must do a better job at educating women on why quality lingerie will save them money in the long run. (continued… click Gail’s name above) It is a chance to improve ourselves.
