"With EDGE - it's not only Business, it's Personal"
Quote of the Week:
Letter from the Publisher...

I have been blessed with the honor to interview 100's of business owners, entrepreneurs and community leaders over the years. One thing in common that they have all shared and something that I have picked up on is that in order to succeed (no matter what your definition of success is) you must be willing to do what it takes to get there. If you want more, you must do more . You must be be willing to sacrifice and pivot when necessary, You must be willing to embrace and welcome change. You must be willing to be uncomfortable... for years if necessary. One of the best pieces of advice I receive often is to "learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable". There is no magic time line that says if you do this, this and that you will succeed. Business plans are meant to guide us and give us a time line based on projections and assumptions.... our expectations ... but they are not magic (unfortunately ;). Often, society, our families, our friends give us their time lines of how they think our journey should go. Remember, everyone else's opinions are based solely on their experiences. Only you know what is best for you! Have FAITH and be PATIENT...TRUST in you and remember if you want more, do more... learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
