Frankly Summer

Congratulations to ME! The universe has shifted! I just dove head first into something on my bucket list! Prayers for me yall! I, Summer, have taken a step that has been on my mind for years. (Applause) Thank you, Thank you. Since we are just getting to know each other - Hey friend! Let me start with how happy I am to have Oprah as an Auntie (in my head), Gary Vee as a mentor (via Youtube), and Marie Forleo as the girlfriend I've always wanted (real talk, but not real)! All three of these people, along with my awesome visibility coach, Jenn Scalia , have changed my life forever.  Notably, in the past four years, but Auntie O has been more like a journey since the love goes back to childhood.  Gary Vee speaks my language, even though I don't really use my words in the same way he does, my thoughts are with him.  Marie Forleo is sooo relateable, it drives me crazy!  I love how she (Marie) always comes across as her true heart-felt self, how she explains...

As a participant in the Northwestern University Social Media Marketing Program, I found 2 articles highlighting the importance to take action now.  In Gary Vaynerchuk's blog article, “ The Day I Decided to Become Gary Vee ,” he explained what positioned him as the leader of one of the fastest growing creative agencies. He was already basking in the success of  Wine Library  and grew it from a $4 million to a $45 million business, but decided he wanted more. The problem he noticed, his actions didn’t show it. He firmly believes you can change what you don’t like and get out of the rut. When motivating the masses, many are looking for a short cut, but Gary says, “hard work pays off. Your behavior has to back up your words.” He argues that complaining is pointless and he lives a life of no excuses.      ...
