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.

Just keepin' it real.
Who you work with is just as important as what you're working on.
If you aren't in unity with who you work with, it wears on you. Horribly. It affects your work so much, it can become unrecognizable. Ineffective. Bland.
Being out of alignment with those you work with causes you to lose your creative edge like nothing else. I'm not saying you have to think alike on everything, or be carbon copies of one another. That's really boring in itself to think about.
You know in your heart of hearts exactly what I'm talking about. There are times you just gel with people in a working relationship or you don't.
Money doesn't always define what brings happiness in a work situation. There are times I've been far happier making much less money and working with who I really want to work with. Lots of my friends, from minimum wage workers to those making six figures or more tell me this.
Get the WHO right and the WHAT becomes much more fulfilling ~ you hit your sweet spot much quicker and can stay in the zone of success.
