Talk about my personal code of conduct! Networking with integrity has been my guide. I had a moment 2 weeks ago where someone wanted to "help" us with the restaurant. I didn't have a good feeling. I wasn't scared of him, it just didn't feel right. Without saying anything or mentioning his name, because I don't care for gossip, this persons name was mentioned in passing between two sales representative from another business. He was mentioned in a very shady way because of business dealings he has done. I KNOW and trust that the spirit will continue to direct me if I listen! I'm grateful I listened to my gut. Nothing was said or done because of that feeling but I recognize that the lesson has been taught and the lesson was internalized! Not everyone is looking out for us, we need to keep being diligent!

This week I've met with the soda guy, the POS (point of sale) guy, the exterior signage guy, the plumber, the drywaller, the meat supplier, the Sysco rep, the dishwasher guy, the Co2 guy, and more that I can't remember right now. The point of this sentence: THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG!

I am overwhelmed with the amount of networking friendships that we've created as a couple and as individuals. Kenny and I have done a lot of service in our community and the people we have helped and served with have now come in full force to help and serve us! I am filled with gratitude and have been brought to tears with the amount of love and support we are receiving.

I have found that one thing can't be done without another thing. For example, I have my soda guy ready when countertops go in, he'll be there right after to set up machines. I just found out that he can't do that until a Co2 guy from a different company comes out to pressurize his system! One goes with the other. This scenario has happened multiple times and it always seems like we are directed to the best people!

Overall, my personal code of conduct is who I am. My honesty and integrity will be on display, not only as a friend but now as a business owner. I want to be the best version of myself at all times!
