What A Great Meeting!

Thank you Christy Kahler & Rod Bishoff of Edward Jones for speaking to us yesterday and helping us to understand economic confusion. Thanks for answering all of our questions and availing some of our fears and concerns. It was a great meeting, and everyone had great things to say about your presentation. And thank you very much for the little goodie bags and the door prize! Congratulations to Julie Hughes Nix who was thrilled to win the chair!

MARTHA LANIER IS COMING!!!

Our next meeting is going to be the most fantastic event we have ever experienced at Women2Women! As you know, I have been so excited to tell you that Martha Lanier, a keynote speaker, will be coming to speak to us in October. In anticipation of this "blow out the doors event", I have booked the meeting room at Appalachian Community Bank for this meeting. The room is very large with a sound system and patio with tables in case we have overflow.

I cannot say enough good things about Martha. And rather than try to tell you how wonderful she is, and how lucky we are to have her- please click this link and visit her website to see for yourself!

"Labor Day" Weekend....

I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing holiday weekend. I think I discovered why it's called Labor Day. I moved over the weekend, and I did a lot of "laboring". Actually, I'm still not completely sure where all my clothes are, shoes, makeup, etc. You would think that after moving as many times as I have I would have a better system and be more organized. But you know, no matter how organized you think you are, and no matter if you hire movers or do it yourself, there's still TONS of little things you must do once you arrive. From hooking up your washer and dryer, hanging curtains, or deciding how to arrange your kitchen...some things you just have to do yourself!

It occurs to me that it's like running your business. On a day to day basis there are things you must do to continue your momentum and keep business rolling in. And no matter how many people you have working for you, there's just some things you must do yourself. Things such as:

• Setting Your Business Goals
• Keeping Yourself Current With Trends In Your Business
• Making Sure Your Customers Get Personal Attention

My mother always said, "If you want something done right, you better just do it yourself". Sometimes it seems that's the only thing that works. Another motto might be, " If it's to be, it's up to me!"

And while I'm on the subject of "doing it yourself", I'd like to tell you about our next meeting on September 16th. We're going to have a special guest of the male persuasion. Christy Kahler of Edward Jones in Dawsonville attends our meetings on a regular basis will be presenting Rod Bishoff, Financial Advisor to speak to us about "Money, Current Financial Options, and Planning Better For Our Futures". Don't miss this very informative chat from someone who is "in the know" and can share current and local information with us concerning our finances.

I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday, September 16th 10:30am at Ryan's!

Sincerely,

Kimberly Wilson
