Times They Are A Changin!

Ok, so I thought of this little saying last Friday night when I was discussing the future of Panama City Beach with my husband. We had been to a new movie theater at the beach and before the movie started we were subjected to numerous ads about planned communities and real estate investment opportunities that are currently in the works.

I have lived in this area my whole life and know how this town works. For many years it has been run by the "good ole boys" who turn away business and growth opportunities for PC so they won't have to give their employees more money or benefits. Panama City consists of mostly small family owned businesses. Keeping it that way, keeps more money in certain local families' pockets because their employees don't have the opportunity to seek a better job unless they want to move. HOWEVER, money is now being made in this town and it is from outside investors.

OMG we now have condos with parking garages. We've never seen the likes of that in this town before! Panama City Beach is finally getting a clue and taking some pointers from area towns such at Destin & Sea Side. Beach roadways are now landscaped. Shocking! You can see the changes and you can feel that a big change is in the air. It will be very interesting to see how it all plays out!

Why I blogged about this I have NO idea! Well, yes I do. I liked the title of my blog. HeHe!! Before I starting ranting, I was going to blog about how I can feel something big is coming my way too. I don't know how it is all going to pan out, but I do know I have been working my butt off for a long time in regards to building CherishedGiftFavors.com. I have spent every free moment I have had (and many that I haven't) on marketing, promoting, researching, networking, learning, and doing everything I can to make my dreams happen. My business is my passion! I love it! I get excited about finding new favors and gifts to offer my customers.

My goal is to give up my job and devote myself full time to building my business. It will happen. It is frustrating while I'm having to work full time at my current job, but I'm beginning to feel that wonderful things are coming my way. Nothing that I can truly pinpoint now, but little pieces of the puzzle are starting to fall into place. I've been doing a lot of networking myself, but now others are starting to network for me in ways that I wouldn't have thought of. So cool. I can tell times they are a changin for me! I'm very excited!
