Stored In The Heart

‘Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.' – Lionel Hampton, American jazz musician and bandleader

I’m filled with gratitude for SO many people and things, including you! Wishing you and your family a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Which takes me back to my grandparent’s basement, surrounded by hundreds – maybe thousands – of 45 RPM vinyl records, and a tiny portable record player. You know those small disks with a two-inch hole in the middle that you see in old-time jukeboxes?

Yes, that’s where they came from – my grandfather owned Morris Music Company. He supplied virtually every restaurant and bar in Metro Detroit with jukeboxes and those popular 45s.

That’s where I ‘met’ and fell in love with Lionel Hampton. And Nat King Cole. And Elvis Presley. And Patsy Cline…

If you’ve never heard – or heard of – Lionel Hampton, treat yourself to this fantastic video. I’ll wait.

What does gratitude mean to you?

Patty’s Perspective . . .

Gratitude is an active, living practice for me. Many times a day I feel grateful, I think about all the things for which I’m grateful, and I express thanks to those who brighten my day.

I believe people can be kind and compassionate if we model that behavior and give them a chance. I believe that, even with the hardships we all endure, life is good!

My Grandpa died when I was five, but my Mom always described him as the kindest man she’d ever known. She learned kindness, compassion, tolerance, and fairness from him, and passed those qualities along to her children and grandchildren.

So my grandfather’s legacy lives on, and for that, I’m grateful.

Now What?

Are you stuck in your Second Act?

Have you built a profitable and valuable business but instead of feeling like there's something missing, you’re feeling like there's something more?

If you’ve built an accounting firm, a law firm, a financial services firm, a psychology practice, or a specialty consulting firm that is generating $1 million to $10 million in annual revenue, you are in a prime market.

Larger firms and companies are growing by buying other firms. This has long been the case, but we’re seeing a higher rate than ever.

In a tragic twist, I see too many women who actually lose their company instead of exiting on their own terms. The exit process is filled with pitfalls and complex issues – especially for women.

I’ve built my business as an advocate, and I specialize in helping women founders transition to their Third Act – when you’re ready to do the work you’ve always longed to do.

As your advocate, by definition, I’m looking out for your best interests. I am not taking a brokerage fee, commission, or equity. I am not motivated by how quickly the exit moves or the final dollar amounts. I want what you want – and will help you get it.

Are you ready to exit your business on your terms?

That requires a new way of thinking, new skills, a simple and elegant design, and an advocate by your side. Contact me to learn more.
