August 13th of this year marked the ten year anniversary of me writing a daily blog and hitting that ten year mark was the goal I had set for myself. For ten long years I have literally written a blog five days a week, every single week, without missing a single day (other than National […]
Moving out of our building the last two weeks has been SO much work! Thank heavens for The Other Side Movers! The Other Side Movers is a training school for The Other Side Academy, a non-profit that helps former felons learn how to live productive, successful lives. The ex-convicts in the program are given a […]
Last week we announced the creation of the “Amy Rees Anderson Academic Entrepreneurs” Program at Utah State University in partnership with the Center For Growth And Opportunity and today I was so excited to get to go and meet with our very first cohort of female fellows in the program. I was blown away at […]
Today I was honored to be invited to The White House in Washington DC to be a part of the Empowering Women Symposium where issues such as the economy, healthcare, and national security were discussed. A group of 30 women leaders from across the country were invited to meet 90 minutes before the Symposium started […]
I was so happy today when I saw a pretty blue box of V-Chocolates had been delivered to my office…then I was a LOT LESS happy when I discovered that my two business partners at REES Capital had gotten to the box before I saw it and the two of them had eaten almost all […]
It was exactly three years ago today that I signed the final papers to sell my company. As I look back over the last three years I am blown away at how much has happened since then. I transitioned out of my old company, I launched REES Capital (my angel investment firm), got our charity […]
What a day today was! I started my day at 5:00am this morning so I could get downtown for an early morning meeting with President Wheelwright, the President of BYU Hawaii. He and I had a wonderful talk about the Entrepreneurship activities going on at his University in Hawaii. They are doing some really incredible […]
“Here’s to strong women. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.” Tonight the University of Utah held a Women Alumni event at our REES Capital offices and they asked me to hold a Q&A forum with the women where they could ask me questions about my past experiences and life […]
I was interviewed on Real Recognition Radio by Roy Saunderson and S. Max Brown and the episode aired earlier today. During the interviewed we discussed questions such as: Are there differences in the way men and women lead? What makes a great leader? How important is communication in a company? How to build a culture? How to […]
I can hardly believe that it was exactly one year ago, last Saturday, that we signed the closing documents to sell MediConnect (MCG). Since that day it has been a sheer whirlwind of activity so when I realized that it was the one year anniversary over the weekend all I could think of is how it […]
Rather than writing a blog tonight I thought I would share a few of the fun photos taken of our Grand Opening Event. First I will show photos of a few of our friends who attended and then I will post some of the other photos of the inside of our offices as not all […]
We all spend much of our lives working with the hope that one day we will achieve a level of financial freedom that will allow us to pursue our dreams. For me, the Grand adVenture that I dreamed about was starting my own mentoring and angel investing firm that would allow me to take all […]
After working incredibly hard for the last few months to get REES Capital launched, our building construction and renovation completed, and setting up our new offices with furniture and decorations and all the hoopla in order to be ready for our big Grand Opening tomorrow, I definitely needed to hear that quote you just read. […]
I am so excited to announce that the time has finally come for our Grand Opening, and the official invite is included below. The event is this Friday January 4th and the details are in the image below. The RSVP link in the picture below is not active so if you want to RSVP to […]
January 4th will be the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting for the new REES (Recognizing and Empowering Entrepreneurial Success) Capital offices! We are very appreciative that the Governor of Utah himself will be coming to do the official ribbon cutting with us, along with many other dignitaries. We are honored that they will join us […]
It started with a 3,000 pound solid concrete conference room table that my husband built in our garage at home. First he built the table as a single 16 ft x 5 ft solid slab of concrete, which everyone said wouldn’t work. Then came the “you will never be able to move that table all […]
“Don’t look so shocked that I know how to use a screw driver and a hammer and that I am willing to get dirty hauling boxes in from the storage unit and assembling furniture!”. That is what I wanted to say to all of the surprise visitors (and there were a lot) that dropped in […]
Monday morning we are officially starting to move-in to our new REES Capital offices! I can’t believe the day has finally come! It feels like we have been doing construction forever on the build-out of our new space. Between city zoning issues and getting permits it has been a long process, but it is so […]
Today was day one, I repeat, day ONE of REES Capital and let me tell you that EPIC is seriously the only word that would describe today. What a whirlwind of amazingness today was! We had news interviews with the Salt Lake Tribune that hit today’s paper: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/55011370-79/anderson-capital-rees-mediconnect.html.csp The Deseret News that hit today’s paper: […]
Today marks the formal announcement of my new venture – REES Capital – and our new company website is now live – www.reescapital.com . When I said in my blog yesterday that I have been working round the clock, this was why! I have been furiously getting everything together for the press release to go out October 3rd and […]
