I am Woman

by Rebecca Monet

My favorite word is bodacious.Someday, this single word will define my legacy.

Some see me as timid and reserved. I am not.Boldness does not require peacock feathers and fanfare.

Some say I’m knowledgeable and intelligent.My true endeavor is to seek, gain and share wisdom.

I’m a Believer. I answer to a higher authority.For this I’ve been mocked.

I’ve loved and lost. I have but one regret.That I have not remarried. Yet.

I’ve been knocked down and knocked off course by those who wished me harm.

But there is none more tenacious and purpose-driven than me.

I’m a visionary, entrepreneur and public speaker.Once while speaking I fell off the stage in front of thousands of franchisees.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness often comes in the form of business ownership.

I believe franchisee-franchisor fit is the answer.

I believe franchising is the last bastion of the free enterprise system.I’m a scientist on a mission, fighting alongside others to protect it.

Bold + Audacious = Bodacious.I’m understated and stealth like, but nevertheless bodacious.
