Letter from the Executive Director

In our previous parenting issue, one of our dedicated volunteers, Maggie, wrote about her upcoming childbirth. First, let me say that we are happy to know that she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Congratulations Maggie on your growing family!

This entrepreneurial issue is one of my favorite issues. We want to give you ideas on how to take ownership of your own career – which is such a huge part of getting on your feet. It can be tough for anyone to with a record to get a job, and it’s a pain to wait for someone to give you permission to change your life.

This issue gives you ideas on how to turn your hustler mentality into a career. We cover the different types of entrepreneurial endeavors that you can take from multi-level marketing to franchising. We also include courses and programs that will help you jump start your own small business.

We hope you enjoy this issue.

Sincerely,

Porche Proffit
