"REALIZING THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS, TEACH US TO RESPECT COMPETITION AT ALL TIMES."   In an ideal world, competition with others wouldn't exist.  People would realize that everyone benefits when more people are interested in one goal.  Focusing on creating a new way of approaching a goal is much more rewarding than spending your days trying to sabotage another's efforts.  Unfortunately we do not live in an ideal world, however, the following positive steps will keep you focused on the ultimate goal: 

1)  Confirm the facts, avoid gossip
2)  Acknowledge your feelings
3)  Keep it private
4)  EVERYONE has a right to pursue their dream
5)  Focus on the positive; and finally
6)  Keep your own house in order

As an Association we are here to help members acheive their goals, whatever they may be.  Utilize the Resources that are provided to members on a Local, State, Regional or National Level.  And as always, if you have questions, contact your leaders.  We have so much information to share with each other.

Hope to see you at the SO CA ICC Meeting to be hosted by Insurance Women of North San Diego County.  The topic is The Leadership Ladder.  This promises to be an enlightening event.

A special shout out to Doris Wilke for working with her daughter and getting 542 letters to Santa for Josh and the Make a Wish Foundation, far exceeding the original goal.
