Playing in the Rain: Zooming with Anna Banana!Several years ago, I visited Miss Anna 'Banana' Kruchten in Phoenix before heading down to a baby shower in Safford, Arizona to meet our expectant daughter-in-law Devyn.She had just finished one of her meditative hikes up the canyon. It was as if we'd known one another a lifetime because of the virtual connection here at ActiveRain.Anna's PresentationThe subject for this week's Zoom Meeting, January 26,2021, Writing a Business Plan, well suited her. It was very informative, streamlined and captured my attention throughout.The following are important to master in order to be successful in business:
- Attitude - Positivity attracts
- Vision - Business plan
- Focus - Laser beam sharp
- Time - Make it count
- Energy - High energy gets more done
- Money - Takes an investment
- Confidence - Bring it!
- Grit - That and tenacity rules
- Humor - The ability to laugh is priceless!
What fills you spiritually: For me, spending time with family, gardening, writing and reading. A statement that rings true for all of us: If you want to be happy, no one can stop you!Some things that I have planned for 2021:
