Racing For The Cure!

Did you know the United States has the highest annual incidence rates of breast cancer in the world? How can I not be part of "Race for the Cure" when so many families are losing mothers, sisters, wives, friends, husbands, brothers, nieces, granddaughters and the list goes on. The Susan G. Komen Foundation North Jersey Affiliate did a phenomenal job at organizing this year's event in West Orange, New Jersey. And yes, I had a pink wig on to honor all of those who are victims of this terrible epidemic.

Toward the end of the day, a young lady approached me to let me know she had purchased my pink Flipbag to give to a special person in her life who is fighting breast cancer. Compliments don't get better than that.

Sharing My Story for a Cause at Baltusrol Golf Club

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to speak at an Overlook Hospital fundraising event that took place at Baltusrol Golf Club. My experience was absolutely amazing from my arrival just looking at the breathtaking grounds, to my interaction with the staff at the club, to meeting the wonderful people who take time to give back to Overlook and each day make a difference in the lives of so many people.

I decided to open my presentation with a quote that inspires me each time I read it. I told the audience that I hoped it would inspired them and now I hope it will inspire you. So here it is:

"Risk more than others think is safe. Care more thank others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible." Cadet Maxim

Entrepreneurship is about taking a risk, but isn't life in general about taking risks and going through changes?
