Here We Grow Again ...

We are super excited to welcome our newest team member, Heather!!!  She is the mother of two beautiful daughters and currently a Director of Sales in the high tech industry in the Northern California area.  Her reason for starting her own business is all too familiar.

At this stage in her life, while her career is important, she finds herself less tolerant of all the sacrifices corporate requires.  She loves her boss who is extremely flexible BUT it isn't enough.  She wants more time with her family.  This opportunity came to her at the perfect time.

Do you have people in your life that have made an impact regardless of how much time you spent with them?  That is Heather.  We went to high school together and weren't necessarily close girl friends, but we were certainly friends.  We had chemistry together and interacted from time to time in class or around campus.

Fast forward twenty plus years and, thanks to Facebook, we reunite and find ourselves chatting periodically about life, family, where we have been, etc.  A few chats later and we find that we have more in common than we would have ever imagined.

We share many things: successful corporate careers, motherhood, family, drive, competitive spirits, compassion, we are believers, and a desire to spend more time with our girls.  It isn't just more time with our girls that is important, but having enough positive energy for our girls.  We both talked about how corporate can literally suck the life out of you and leave very little left for the ones you care about.

We've said it before and we will say it again, the best thing about this business is the relationships.  Who knew twenty some odd years ago, two high school chemistry students would lock arms and become business partners!  The relationships make it fun going to work everyday!    

Now, her husband gave us a HUGE challenge but we are both up for it.  He is giving us three months to "show him the money" and show him the potential this business has.  The funny thing about this challenge is how we both reacted!  Neither of us batted an eye, took the challenge, and got to work!  I am confident Heather's husband will love this business in three months!  We haven't negotiated with him yet BUT since we are already well into February and it is a short month, we think it is only fair that the clock "officially" start ticking for our first month on March 1!!!

We are smiling from the inside out knowing Heather is going to "own" Northern California, and that she just made a decision that is going to change her life.  I am confident she will be spending more time with her girls among other things.  This is just the beginning...

Welcome Heather, my friend and newest business partner!!!
