Partnership

On New Years Day, folks make a lot of resolutions, based on their goals or dreams. Also there is a tendency to look back at the past year with gratitude. That's me: looking back at the past year and forward to the New Year. I recognized recently that the success of DinnerSmith is all about partnership. Without Fran and Sharon, DinnerSmith would have been a good idea; instead of a growing business serving hundreds of families.

I am a night person, cleaning and organizing doing paperwork late into the night. Fran is a morning person, arriving early in the day, getting ready for the afternoon customers and making meals for pick up. Sharon's research ad passion for new recipes keeps our menu exciting and fresh. Also she has become a terrific butcher.

At home, my family takes on many household chores, leaving me more time to keep those long hours at the store.

Whenever I hear people talking about new years resolutions, I feel compelled to shout " Get help! Get partners! It makes all the difference!"
