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.

Some say, "have fun with it and enjoy doing something different." Well yes, and at the same time I can't just table all my work for a week and come back to it when I'm done. So when I get home in the evenings I'll be doing work on my other jobs to keep up with what has to be done. If anyone in Tampa wonders why you probably won't be able to get ahold of me this week by phone or why I'm slow on answering mail, the answer is, I'll be at jury duty during the day and playing catch up in the evenings.
