Welcome!

I'm Tami Parks, fourth-generation entrepreneur and small business person. I love small business and consider it the heartbeat of America's marketplace. My family has been involved in real estate, service, and retail; we're just regular people who have a passion for serving others and being our own bosses.

My husband and I have made a committment to run our business, Great Lakes Wedding Gown Specialists, LLC, as a debt-free business. This blog is our accountability partner!

Sharing your Passion

In previous posts, I've talked about having a vision for your business and a Mission Statement. I don't want to be a company that stops there, though.

It is important to me to continue to inspire my employees and to share my passion with them. After all, they probably interact with my customers more than I do. In fact, they ARE the company to my customers. If I do not adequately share my vision, passion, and ideas with my employees, those very important parts of "who" my business is never make it to my customer. What a shame!

Most businesses have some type of "staff- or team-meeting". This is the traditional place to share your vision. I would love to hear from readers who have some ideas for making these meetings fun, interactive, and profitable.

Lately, I have been choosing a few of the books that have shaped my business values and gifting them to my employees. The books are not boring business books, but short, easy-read, "life" books. The response has been overwhelming from my team!

What can you share this week?
