Hey, folks, it's Kimberly Hobcheck with entrepreneurs Rocket Fuel today. I'm coming to you from the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana, home of some really great jazz. I don't know if you guys can hear that. And we're right next to the heart of the French Quarter, Jackson Square. As a matter of fact, that's St. Louis Cathedral, and that's Pirates Alley on the other side of Pirates Alley, just down the alley on the other side of the church is Jackson Square, which is that famous park that's surrounded by a fence. And surrounded by that are a ton of my favorite kind of people, Entrepreneurs. That's right. People that are hanging up their paintings, people that are showing their wares, people who will read your palm, and some really great jazz musicians will play for you. And there's magicians out there. People perform all kinds of athletic tricks, all kinds of stuff, in fact, minds. There's all kinds of entrepreneurs out there. And one of the mottos or the nickname for New Orleans, Louisiana, its nickname is actually the Big Easy. And I thought that was a really great thing to bring to entrepreneurs Rocket Fuel today and our channel, because I wanted to point out how New Orleans really carries that even into its entrepreneurship, making things easy and not trying to overcomplicate things. As an entrepreneur, I have, and many people around me have often tried to really over complicate things, overthink them, and make too big a deal out of one thing instead of just getting your product or service out there to the market, to the people who need it, that's picking up nicely. As a matter of fact, I think that all of us could use a little more Big Easy in our businesses, because it's just. It doesn't have to be so difficult. It doesn't have to be so hard. One of the ways that you can make your business much easier is by working with a mentor or a guide or a coach. If you don't already have a mentor or a guide or a coach that can help you through some of the tougher, complicated things of entrepreneurship, I would love to work with you. Go to entrepreneursrocketfuel.com apply, fill out an application, and you and I will get on the phone, talk a little bit about where you are in your business and where you want to be, and then we'll see if we can make that easy for you. I'm Kimberly Hobscheid with entrepreneurs Rocketfield coming to you from New Orleans, Louisiana. And I look forward to working with you. Cheers.
