November 2020 Newsletter
Do you realize that as many as half of Seniors, mostly women, do not have email (not an option on a flip phone or Consumer Cellular phones)? They provide the ability to talk, text and a data plan. There is email. To be on a group video call (to talk with your entire family at the same time, attend an online class, have an online get together with your friends or meet with your trusted advisors), you need to have video access and an email. You may be able to video call one on one, but not as a group. Consider gifting a smart phone, with in-person training, to your loved ones this year.
October 2020 Newsletter
Are you going to be taking everyone’s temperature when they come to your door or will you host a
virtual meal with your loved ones? Consider inviting family and friends – especially for those who may
not have family to connect with. It is hard to have a holiday, it is harder to celebrate it without anyone
else to join you. Consider you can attend this year in your sweatpants and flannel shirts!
September 2020 Newsletter
In the past month, I learned something from a fellow business owner, Fred Lewis, owner of Fred’s Audio Visual Services. He is in his eighties and has a tremendous amount of energy. Fred shared with me that he reached out to his high school classmates (class of 700) to check in with them and discovered about half of them do not have email. When we share this observation with an executive with Lutheran Services, she said when they surveyed seniors on Survey Monkey, they received 100% response on the use of their email. They learned they asked the right question, but to the wrong group.
August 2020 Newsletter
When I look back at how I started out in business and then the growth and changes my business has needed to change over the past two years – WOW! I could not have done this without the support, prayers, guidance, and advice. “You Got This!” to “Can I introduce you to someone?” to “Here’s a website or a class you can take.” I am so blessed to be surrounded by people who build each other up, lend a hand or just meet with me to teach me what they do and how I might be able to help them.
July 2020 Newsletter
Happy 4th of July!
This is a time when we consider all we have fought to create and protect as a country and as a beacon to others around the world. Being an American means so much: how much we come together when times are tough and how we find solutions to problems. We are creative, caring, industrious and practical. In the past three months, we have needed to do things we never thought we would do. Families have been holding conversations to build bridges between racial, religious, and socio-economic groups have sparked an idea that we are all in this together. We are not alone, while we gather with six feet between us.
