Greetings!
August is a great summer travel month. So many of us go to warm climates, take cruises, visit with friends and relatives in warm places and just enjoy the second half of the summer. For those of you who are working and not taking time off over the summer, I suggest you take time "to smell the roses", enjoy the outdoors, explore your local community and take time for yourself.
Fun Weather Lore:
The hottest days of the year often fall in August
Dry August and warm doth harvest, no harm
If the first week of August will be warm, the winter will be white and long. Weather Lore Source
Make it a great August!

Patricia to speak on August 4th and August 19th:
In honor of Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Month, the SBA Rhode Island District and the Center for Women & Enterprise, a resource partner of the SBA, will host two workshops, Is Encore Entrepreneurship for You?
These events are targeted at entrepreneurs over the age of 50+ to assist these "encore entrepreneurs" with resources to start or grow a small business.
New research found that one and four Americans between the ages of 44 and 70 are interested in starting their own business or non-profit venture in the next five to ten years. Nearly half of all these aspiring entrepreneurs reported a desire to be "Encore Entrepreneurs", a business with a positive social impact.
For many 50+ individuals, entrepreneurship training is the toolkit that empowers them to use their knowledge, expertise, and skills to become business owners and job creators. This is an opportunity for SBA and it's resource partners to introduce existing and future encore entrepreneurship to existing resources.
Is Encore Entrepreneurship forYou?

Dealing With Negative Comments
Negative comments can hurt, especially when they are personal attacks and not constructive. I have heard many celebrities say that when they do not read the reviews or negative stories about them. One said that he knows when his work is good or not so good and that he values his own opinion.
When you take negative comments to heart - they hurt your self-esteem and your self-esteem is your most important asset. You must have a strong self-concept and believe in yourself in order achieve your goal.
It's most important to take the source of the comments into consideration. A reason not to listen to attacks, is that they often do nothing to help you. A reason to listen is that you can use negative comments as fuel to do better. You have to weigh both as you are usually your own toughest critic. When you have done your best, you know it and feel it. When you have not performed according to your own expectations, you know that too, and can make course corrections. So if f there is a kernel of truth in the negative comments, you can make changes.
Coaches can be very effective in helping you correct your course and stay on it. The comments from coaches are given with the sole purpose of helping you improve and do your best, while keeping our self-esteem and motivation intact.
I feel that you should not pass on negative comments you hear about others to them directly because you are delivering third party information which can be misinterpreted. The exception to this is if a person is in danger or you feel that they must hear the negative comments in order to protect themselves from harm, then it is appropriate to tell them what you have heard.
My advice: Spend more time listening to your own advice. You know what is right, wrong, good and bad. You need to take up your own counsel.
