\u201cThe privilege to work is a gift. The power to work is a blessing. The love of work is success.\u201d<\/span> \u2013 David O. McKay<\/p>\n

Last Friday I woke up at 4am to get ready to drive up two hours to Logan Utah so I could give the opening keynote speech for the Huntsman Venture Forum business conference.\u00a0 We had a huge rainstorm that morning so the traffic was absolutely nuts and there were accidents from people hydroplaning on the freeway all over the place. To say I was white-knuckling the steering wheel would be an understatement. But thank heavens I made it in time to give my talk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As soon as I finished that talk I had to head to the Center for Growth and Opportunity at Utah State University to do a mentoring session with the amazing girls in the Amy Rees Anderson Academic Entrepreneurs Program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then I drove three hours to get down to BYU so I could speak on a panel at the Ethics & Compliance Conference:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was one long, crazy busy, yet AWESOME day!\u00a0 And after all of that my husband and I had to run by a celebration for our friend’s 50th birthday.\u00a0 By the time I got into bed that night it was after midnight and I was one worn out lady.<\/p>\n

Then last night after a full day of working I went to speak at the Utah Wonder Woman event where I was interviewed by the fabulous Jacki Zehner about my book “What Awesome Looks Like: How to Excel in Business & Life”.\u00a0 It was an incredible event and so much fun to spend time with over 100 of Utah’s most amazing women business leaders.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

So why do I do it? Why would I be putting in 20+ hour days when I could be sitting on a beach somewhere sipping a virgin pina colada?\u00a0 Because I LOVE it! I love the work I am doing! I love speaking to the business community and speaking at Universities. I love spending my time giving back and sharing the things I learned that helped me achieve success. I love helping others to excel – and I feel very fortunate to get to spend my time doing just that. #blessed<\/p>\n
