Goodbye (at least for now) Boston, Hello Miami!

Hi there,

Manda here- Seriously that trip to NY and DC was quite something. But I learnt my lesson, no more trying to cut costs that way. It is important that we keep our sanity to function at our best and be very productive. On a different note, I'm officially leaving Boston and moving to Miami in 6 hours. So far I had been going back and forth between both cities, but Arlie and I soon realized that I needed to move to Miami...like yesterday!

Although we both have a strong work ethic and were very productive working in different cities, we noticed that it was much easier working together, physically in the same place. The saying "l'union fais la force" (unity is power)has never been so true. Together, our energy level is higher, decision making becomes easier and we simply feel stronger. So for all of you fierce entrepreneurs that are just starting out, if you are working from different cities, states, or even countries, waste no time. Invest in those moving expenses for your business partner (s) ASAP. You may have to make some heavy sacrifices moving away, but it is my philosophy that when you engage in an activity, you should give it your all and commit to it 100%. That way you maximize your potential for great results, and you fell great about yourself.

In my case, moving to Miami is easier because I'm free like a bird (and I absolutely love it). But I'm a bit sad to leave Boston and all the great things that come along with leaving in New England. Needless to say, I will NOT miss the freezing cold weather, the loud and sometimes obnoxious Red Sox fans ( I'm truly sorry people, but you ARE loud and obnoxious). What I will miss about Boston: Clambakes, riding the T, Irish men ( lol, I just had to say it), the fall season, that accent, my friends, little family in Salem, white Christmas and a lot more. But listen, Your girl Manda is a serious trooper, are you kidding me? I AM SO READY FOR MIAMI. At the K connection, we work very hard and play hard, and there's no place like Miami to play hard!

All in all, do not be afraid to take risks like moving away from your home and stepping out of your comfort zone. You must play to win, it's as simple as that. Leave no space to "what if 's" and "I wish i had 's" in your life. The unknown can be scary, but also full of excitement.

It's 2:38 am and I must leave for the airport at 6:30 am. And did I mention that I only slept for three hours last night? that brain of mind was working very hard on some ideas for The K Connection! My next blog entry will be done from Miami, until then.....
