We live in such a fast paced society that at times we forget about annual doctor’s visits, semiannual dental follow ups, eating healthy, exercise as well as taking time out to enjoy life. Knowing your family history when it relates to medical, mental health and substance abuse plays an essential role in living a healthier lifestyle. It’s a fact that stress attacks the weakest part of body, is an unreported #1 killer, and also contributes to medical, mental health and substance abuse issues.

There’s work to do and as Gina said, “there’s no room for excuses.” In addition, owning your own business isn’t enough. We need to learn the tools necessary to maintain a clientele committed to the service and or good in order to be financially stable. It’s equally important to learn the many facets of starting your own business, the definition of each entity as well as capturing the need of the community with your service and or good.
