When starting your own business, it’s easy to make every excuse not to take the time to step-back and review your progress. Thanks to some great advice, I’ve made sure to journal how far I have come in business & life.

Are you ready to start tracking how far you’ve come or have you already started? Whether it be in regard to your business, education, career progress, leadership positions, etc., it is key to track where you are.

Enjoy this weeks blog post of #TheGroundFloor with some my top tips when it comes to knowing where you are!

Volunteering is a great way to form a stronger sense of place, whether in your own neighborhood or a new part of town. As I have been continuing my journey of starting my own business, I have made a strong effort to build relationships with others who are in similar situations as I am, both locally and nationally.

I have a great friend named Carly Ellis, Founder of Street Lark. Carly & I decided to dive-in to a new opportunity we call, “Learning Through Volunteering”, where we volunteer portions of our time to work with and learn about various non-profit organizations.

We’re excited to kick things off with 412 Food Rescue, which is a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit fighting both food waste and food insecurity. Enjoy this week’s #blog post of #TheGroundFloor to hear all about our experience!
