“The land of opportunity. You just need the right people and the right work ethic, and you can accomplish anything.” — Bob Poser
July, the month of freedom and opportunity, is here. Summer is in full swing, and it’s the perfect time to spend with friends and family, as well as try new opportunities.
Stepping out of your comfort zone and taking chances can be scary, but you need to use opportunities to create a successful life.
The crazy thing is you never know when they’re going to come. Timing is everything, right? If you have too much on your plate when an opportunity arises, you need to decide whether you can take it. If you have the time, always take advantage of it. You never know when an opportunity will change your life. We encourage you to jump on the next unexpected break that comes your way. Remember, there is no success without taking risks, working hard, being committed and persevering.
This month is filled with great Kennesaw Business Association (KBA) events at which an opportunity might present itself. Our events kick off July 11 at 11 a.m. with our monthly KBA luncheon at the KSU Professional Building. Roof U.S. and Ecotech Services will be sponsoring this great event, where we will be hearing from Tim Fischer, president of Jackson and Coker. He will be discussing “(Un)Common-Sense for Leaders.”
The Young Professionals of KBA are excited to host their Happy Hour on July 20. Come out and network with business professionals under age 35. On July 21, the SUPER Women of Kennesaw are getting together at Copeland’s for a great lunch and networking. Four days later, we will be at Gaines Park Senior Living for Wake Up KBA, starting at 7:45 a.m. Start your day off right with early-morning networking and breakfast with the KBA.
“Whatever it is that you think you want to do and whatever it is that you think stands between you and that, stop making excuses. You can do anything.” — Katia Beauchamp, co-founder and CEO of Birchbox.
Female business leaders of today are doing amazing things. Save the date, Aug. 25, for the third annual Three-13 Salon, Spa & Boutique SUPER Women’s Conference. This will be an event filled with great speakers, an amazing panel, a marketplace, networking and more. Tickets are on sale now, and we promise, this is one you don’t want to miss.
We want to remind you to take advantage of all the opportunities that come your way this month. KBA events are a great way to get started, and we can’t wait to see you there!
