IBA SUCCESS MAGAZINE Issue 3 Vol 3 | Page 54

Let's Climb Together... Jennifer Yon There is significant meaning behind the title of my parting words to you in each edition of IBA Success Magazine. I entitled this column, “Let’s Climb Together” because it is my genuine mission. When I think of climbing together I think of how I can collaborate, assist and partner with others traveling down the same road as me. An author on whom I frequently rely, Napoleon Hill once said, “It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.” Unfortunately, there are too many of us who have yet to adopt the mindset. As I grow as an entrepreneur, I am humble enough to know that I am a forever student, always open to constructive criticism, always available to network with others, and always true to my goals, vision and mission! The honor of being at the wheel of IBA Success Magazine, a vehicle that drives the goals of others toward success is a powerful privilege for me. I don’t take it lightly. I believe that when you open your heart, mind and soul to your own dreams you must be prepared to build relationships with others, even if they are in the same industry as you, without the fearful feeling that you will miss out on something you think is only for you. So, as I close this issue, please be encouraged to not allow your insecurities to cost you a blessing. What is meant for you will be there. Live a life where you are open to growing and learning from others. As Henry Ford said, “Coming together is the beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” “Let’s Climb Together.” 54 IBASuccessMagazine.com
