ENTREPRENEURSHIP & PUBLIC RELATIONS

I hosted a networking event today. In attendance were a plethora of executives and professionals, including dentists, lawyers, consumer goods and real estate pros.  As I sat around the conference table surveying the crowd and assessing the discussion, I was reminded how hard it is to be an entrepreneur these days. There is so much responsibility associated with owning your own business and it is a continual struggle and challenge.

Interestingly enough, I met with a new business prospect last night who inquired how I was able to grow 5WPR so quickly.  The answer is hard work, being a straight shooter, and giving everything we have on a daily basis.  In my book, giving means introductions, going the extra mile for your client and going to war for them when they need it.  5W demands this of our staffers— it’s a quality we believe anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit understands and possesses.

These are just random musings on a December day while eagerly awaiting our annual company holiday party tonight.

    It’s harder than ever to be an entrepreneur but more rewarding than ever, too. Being able to support families by providing them with a paycheck in exchange for their help is one of my greatest joys. I love payday Fridays and look forward to surprising my most faithful with bonuses tomorrow. Entrepreneurs are threads holding this economy together, holding families together. Those who work smart and are willing to be creative through these interesting times will make it through stronger than when they left shore.
