As small business owners, we never go it alone. 🙌 In first grade, our class welcomed a new student and I was blessed with a new lifelong best friend, Katherine Klimitas. In the 30 years since then, Katherine has filled my life with dry humor, unforgettable memories, and well-timed truth bombs. 💣 So when I decided to trade the fluorescent lights of corporate life for a career as a creative entrepreneur, I knew Katherine wouldn't gatekeep any of her knowledge and experience gained as a water color artist and graphic designer. Katherine designed my first business cards and taught me how to use social media. She both comforted me and dropped some hard truths the first time my work was stolen. Not only has she shaped my life through decades of friendship, but she has shaped my business through education and the sharing of her skills. ❤️ I hope that all small business owners are lucky enough to find inspiration from the "Katherine" in their life. But, even more so, I hope they are lucky enough to have a friend, like Katherine, to support them through the ups and downs in their journey as entrepreneurs. Do you have a "Katherine" in your life who inspired, educated, and supported you in your journey? Give them a shout out in the comments! 📢 #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #mentor

🧐 Can you tell the differences between these two images? 💬 Comment below with what you find and prove you’ve got the sharpest eyes in Missouri!  Let the game begin!

📷 Here are some of the most odd and unusual images from this week

3 valuable lessons that I share. #1. Often times we feel neglected, unheard, not good enough, and taken advantage of for simply being true to who we are. As a result, we fall into the trap of playing the role of the character that gets us the most attention. Unfortunately, we soon discover that our newfound attention is only met with our newfound guilt and resentment for the character that we chose to play. #2. A blacksmith is measured by the quality & strength of his steel, not by the fire and hammer that it took to make it. Life is chasing all of us with a hammer as we navigate through the flames of life. It is only when we make it to the other side of those flames is when we can truly appreciate the oxygen that is on the other side. A good life is defined by its journey. #3. There is power in owning your identity. Always, remember that the passcode to your dreams is through your fingerprints. Why do I say that? I say that because just like fingerprints, dreams cannot be duplicated or stolen. Only the assigned fingerprint can unlock the dream that it is looking for.

Thrilled to have my photo in the front section of The Washington Post! Link to the full story in the comments below.
