An open letter to myself, as an entrepreneur.

"Not every spot on your calendar needs to be filled in order to prove that you're productive and some of the most AMAZING moments will never be scheduled. A leisurely stroll to a corner-bakery to steal away a quiet moment & a banana nut muffin doesn't make you lazy and if you can't take the day off to chaperone your daughter's field trip without your business tanking then it's probably already doomed. Your success is not evidenced by the size of the next deal but by the size of a smile you helped to create. If you trade ledgers over life lessons and invoices over individual moments that matter, one day they too, will be but a memory. Work smart but love harder. Create memories, don't miss out on them."- Dawn Nicole
