We love to think we are superheroes and can do it all! Trying to balance everyday life and work is a struggle most of us can understand. This has been especially challenging for me lately since my husband was diagnosed with cancer 20 months ago. I've had to practice what I preach (some of which I mentioned in the
March newsletter). Not only do I need to take care of myself, but I also want to take care of my clients.
Most of my clients and many other businesses are desperate to hire help. According to this Inc.com article, waiting too long to hire help can hinder growth and damage relationships with customers.
After nearly 15 years in business, I feel very fortunate that Ready2ACT has delivered record revenues in the first quarter of 2018! But, this also means that the business needs to hire, presenting me with the choice - do I sink or do I swim? Option 1: Sink myself into the business and related tasks. Option 2: Throw myself a life preserver, stay afloat, and keep on swimming to success.
I have chosen a life preserver. I am happy to announce that Ready2ACT has added an exceptional project management trainer and facilitator to our team! Pete Baldwin (former engineer, project and program manager during a 34 year career at Lockheed Martin and United Launch Alliance) has obtained his PMP certification. He has since proudly delivered our four-day Comprehensive Project Management workshop to Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks. Pete will provide expertise and experience to our clients and allow for continued business growth.
Welcome aboard, Pete!

Have you ever been faced with the sink or swim challenge? If so I'd love to hear how you kept afloat.
