The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director. Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year.

I've got a whole lot going on this week in addition to my regular responsibilities, which I mentioned had really increased due to a few things.. In addition to all that we're doing a night at Fusion this week called, "How Sweet It Is" (I'll blog with details once the event is over -- some of it is a surprise) I also have a leadership luncheon for the women of Tampa/Metro for the AG, that I oversee as rep. So I've been putting that together, trying to keep the house clean, running Jordan around as he's been looking for jobs, the many various odds and ends that come up and by the end of the day I'm pretty much exhausted.
