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!

Now is the time to start!

Jeff and I have spent the last 5 days or so in sunny Orlando, Florida attending Dave Ramsey's EntreLeadership Master Series.  Our mornings have been filled with teaching & coaching from Dave and his team on all things business.  It has been intense, powerful, and wonderful.  In the afternoons, we have been spending time together dreaming and planning on how to make our business and our lives all that we feel God would have them to be.

Almost everyone has a goal or a dream.  Something you want to do.  Maybe you can't do it tomorrow, next week, or even next year.  But, you can begin to do it!  You can make plans.  Perhaps all you can do right now is plan to make plans. 

One of the most important things I will be taking home with me this week is the knowledge that things do not need to stay the same in my business or any other area of my life.  It is my job to find out where God wants me to be and to move in that direction.

EntreLeadership...here we come!

So EXCITED!

Jeff and I are attending Dave Ramsey's Entreleadership Master Series at Walt Disney World next week!

I'm hoping to blog a few times during the event right here and share some of the lessons we are learning.  Do you have anything you'd like me to ask Dave for you?
