Not to flaunt but to inspire other companies to consider. Before getting to your “real” business, get to the business of serving others. It’s great for the soul and puts in perspective what really matters. For our retreat last Friday, we decided to give back at ***[Our Daily Bread](https://www.catholiccharities-md.org/)*** in Baltimore. - **CELEBRATE**: This is also a great time to look back and celebrate your accomplishments as a company. For us this was an extra special occasional. As you can see below here, Misti celebrated her 5-year anniversary with entreQuest. Since Misti has been here, she has worked with more than 200 companies and helped placed more than 300 sales professionals. Not bad for 5 years. Beyond this, Misti is the glue that holds our company together. A big congratulations to her... and us!   - **REFLECT:** Then it's time to reflect, question and challenge the current assumptions.
