This Is Personal

By Lisa In Blog, Leadership /  1 1 Comment

She left home at the age of 16 and worked until illness prevented her from doing so at the age of 70.

Her life was far from easy. She separated from her husband when her daughter was four years old and became the primary breadwinner for the family. She took jobs that paid as well as you could get, but they were usually factory-type work, where you put in long hours with heavy, gruelling physical labour. She was a small woman but she didn’t let that stop her from keeping up with the men and doing her fair share.

Kindness is Always Trendy

A man that lives in our community has won the hearts and minds of every dog and its owner.  He has set up an area in his driveway where there is a cooler filled with dog treats.

It’s also become a fantastic way for this man to get to know all of his neighbours.

Only a small number of people in our Facebook group saw the post about it and the person on my team who helps to manage this program didn’t know either.

Often business owners start and then, for whatever reason (time, money, lack of clarity or belief in themselves), they stall out. They stop actively marketing and start waiting for customers to show up. Eventually, business starts to dry up instead of expand. If you find yourself feeling this way, you can start again.

Amazonageddon

By Lisa In Blog, Business, Entrepreneur, Leadership /   1 Comment

When I was in Asheville speaking at the Medipreneur conference, I stood in front of a room full of pharmacy professionals and made a bold prediction. I predicted the Amazonageddon of pharmacy.

I predicted that one day Amazon would be responsible for consumer fulfillment of prescription drugs and painted a picture of going to your doctor, having your prescription uploaded via a mobile app, and then delivered to your home within hours. No more needing to go to your local pharmacy.

Creating Defining Moments

By Lisa In Blog, Business, Leadership, Mindset, Networking, Success /   No Comments

Defining moments have the ability to completely shift and shape your future. When I think about my own personal defining moments, two different memories come to mind.

Flashback to 2006 when the idea of starting my own business and leaving my (very safe and secure) corporate job was tinkering around in my brain. My mom had just lost her husband and she was going through a terribly difficult time. She was also trying to sell her house but hadn’t had any showings in several weeks, let alone any offers.
