SBO News of the Month

The September SBO dinner meeting was held last night and our gracious hostess was SBO member, Betty Gortzen.

What an inspiring group of women we have in the SBO! Apart from the great food and garden location there was time to speak about our businesses with each other and what has been happening since we last met a month ago. The strength of the SBO group is the open discussion among those who attend and the building of relationships that are ongoing and the ability to share information and inspire each other.

The topic was "Bad Brain, Bad Business!" This was lead by Dr Mikell Suzanne Parsons, one of our SBO members and what an eye-opener it was for all of us. We learned that without taking care of our brain we would not reach full potential in our own personal lives or in our business. Water and sleep are two of the main components along with the food we eat and do not skip breakfast! As business owners we tend to not take care of ourselves well enough having both business and family obligations.  We are too busy running our operations and growing the business and burning the candle at both ends by not having enough sleep and skipping meals. Mikell ended her discussion with a test using her eye exam light that showed we were all out of balance with our brain and we need to mend our ways to function at a higher level. I think some of us are actually going to change our habits and will soon be booking an appointment to get ourselves on the right track to business success and our healthy lives.

If you are a small business owner and have not joined this group which is part of the Fresno Women's Network membership opportunities then you may be missing out on very valuable and helpful information to ensure your success. We also have a Facebook group that you can join where a lot of additional information is shared between meetings.

The SBO Forum is about building relationships and one of the goals is to be a catalyst for creative problem solving that fosters ongoing success in life and business.

Our next meeting will be held on Thursday, 17th October and Keirsten Quest will be leading the discussion and the topic is "Time! Where Does It Go?". Save the date and further details will be available soon on the website.
