Greetings!
What a week it has been! One gets on a roll, full-steam ahead and BANG, just when things are progressing and all is good in the world...life hits! It hit me hard this week with the loss of my dear cousin, Brian, in a tragic car accident. His beautiful wife, Leslie, survived the crash but remains on life-support in critical condition. Their close friends were passengers in the car and sadly, they did not survive. Two families forever touched by a horrific experience. One that has changed me and will never be forgotten.
I contemplated sharing this story with you and said to myself..."who wants to hear about my family, the tragedy that has occurred?' But then I reminded myself that, as your Business Coach, I expect you to share your successess and losses with me and that it would be wrong of me not to do the same with you. So, this is why I have decided to talk about Support Networks in this issue.
With this loss came the reminder of how important it is to have a Support Network of family, friends and collegues that are there to hold you, and your business, up in your time of despair. While I was helping Brian's children cope with the loss of their father and their mother's unknown prognosis, my support network took over the reins of my business and held it together until I was able to get 'my together' back. To them, I am forever grateful - thank you! I dedicate this issue to Brian, a son, husband, father and friend...a very special man, lost but not forgotten.
