Greetings!  


We are now in the height of the fall season.
We enjoy going outside more, the air is cooler and we seem to breathe better. Leaving windows open at night brings the fresh air inside giving us a better nights sleep. In New England many of us change our wardrobes to heavier fabrics and fall colors. Everyone starts to think about the holidays, whatever we may celebrate. Happy Fall.

Patricia's Speaking Engagements





 
Patricia to speak on October 29th 
   
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.

Some of the key issues that Patricia's clients typically face:
Moving, starting a new job, relation change, health challenge, financial change, loss of a job, transitioning to retirement and empty nest issues.

Positively Speaking
This is one of my favorite stories told to me by my late father and included in my book Pathfinding. I don't know its origin, but my father told me there was a similar story told by a Rabbi with different names. This story speaks to turning obstacles into opportunities and how without the obstacle, the opportunity may never present itself.
 
One day the owner of a building tells his caretaker that he must go out of town for a day, but that he expects a most important letter. He informs the caretaker that he must make sure he gets the registered letter himself because it is a very important letter. The owner leaves the next morning. That afternoon the letter is delivered, but requires a signature.
The caretaker tells the postman that he doesn't know how to write.
 
The postman explains that he must obtain an actual signature, no marks or X's. Since the caretaker can't write, the postman refuses to leave the letter. When the owner returns and learns what happened, he becomes furious and fires the caretaker on the spot. The caretaker finds himself without a job and without an income. To support his meager existence, he starts peddling whatever goods and services he can to survive.
 
His business begins to grow and improves to the point that he is able to open a little store. By the time his sons are old enough to help him, he has become well established. The sons inherit the business and when the caretaker retires, they decide to build a larger store. They ask their father, the former caretaker, to help them borrow the money to finance their ambitious undertaking.
 
The father asks the banker for the loan and the banker says, "No problem. You can have whatever you need. Just sign on the dotted line." The father looks at the banker and replies, "I can't sign. I never learned how to write." In astonishment, the banker asks, "How is it possible that a man who can't write could be as successful as you are?"
"Ah," says the father, "If I could write, I'd still be a caretaker."

Sincerely,

Patricia
