What To Do First to Make a Profit

The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat  ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're  not going to make a profit.

We had choir tonight and I'm extremely drained. I am hoping for a decent night's sleep...and am too tired to blog anymore so I'm signing off til' tomorrow night. I'll blog from council in Orlando. Can't wait to see some of my friends. :-) Have I mentioned my friends in ministry are basically the sprinkles on the cupcake of my life? I love 'em, more than words can say. Can't wait to go out and have an ice water with oranges with them this week. (It won't be a coffee...still can't have one until next Sunday when we break the fast. Can you believe we're in single digit days now? Only 6 more days of the fast!!!!! Yee ha! Tea and coffee, here I come.)

Also, here's a picture Susan took of me and the Teeb today. (Thanks Susie Q! I love ya!)
