In business and in life sometimes we can get caught up in how everything affects us. On a day to day basis, we worry about our time, our resources, how this project will turn out, our goals and deadlines - alot of things that involve I, me, my, or mine. But what if we approached life with the idea that a majority of things that we go through and deal with have nothing to do with us? What if the purpose of everything you went through was to benefit the next person - how would that change your perspective?

BOSS Busines Brunch Recap!

On Tuesday, September 7, 2010, The BOSS Network embarked on the Inspired by Influencers Tour with a prelude to the Influencers event - the BOSS Business Brunch. Fifteen women joined us at the fabulous Private Stay by MadlyLiving Bed and Breakfast to dine, inspire, network, and share their stories. The owners of MadlyLiving spoke on health and wellness and following the path (or lack thereof) intended for you. Special guest speaker Tisa Silver shared a personal anecdote from her book, The Time Value of Life , to inspire women to get out and live TODAY. We hope that the women in attendance, and those who followed our tweets, were able to gain new perspectives and be encouraged in their journeys. "You can't do anything about the past, you don't know about the future...but right now is yours for the taking." -Tisa Silver
