What do the Sassy Ladies have in common with Hillary Clinton?
No, friends, we aren't running for President. (Yet.)
 Hillary Clinton was in Rhode Island on Sunday, with a campaign stop less than a mile from my house at Rhode Island College. Whether you plan to vote for her or not, you have got to love her energy - what a grueling job application process, isn't it? This is one woman who is working around the clock.
I didn't attend the rally on Sunday. I was working. All "the Sassies" were.
Wendy, Miriam and I have four businesses between us. As you can imagine, this makes us very busy, and we rarely can find a full weekday to spend together, focusing solely on our Sassy Ladies' business strategy. And this is SO important to maintaining our focus, our results, our energy.
So we made plans to carve out a weekend day to work ON the business, instead of IN the business. And, let me tell you, it felt like a luxury! Not only because our table was overflowing with food (as is typical of our Sassy meetings), or because Wendy brought a big flip chart with those colorful markers that smell like fruit.
It was luxurious to spend a few focused, un-interrupted hours to take a step back from the activity of our to-do lists, to think about how things were going, to determine what our next steps should be, to discuss how we can improve results. It is just amazing for me to collaborate with these women, who I respect immensely. A Sunday work day was pure joy.
I wondered as I drove home, after a day of reflecting on you - our community of women entrepreneurs - how many of us work weekends? We started our businesses to enjoy more freedom of when and where we work, but does it mean we work 9 to 5, M-F? Or 7 days a week? I'd love to find out. Add your comments below - how often do you work on a Sunday?
Hey, you're not campaigning for President, but I have a feeling you're working just as hard! |
