Good Morning People!!!
Rose Blumkin, born Rosa Gorelick, first stepped foot on American soil in 1917. Without traditional education and depending solely on the English she learned from her children, Rose was limited in what she could do for pay, so she had to make her living by selling old clothing and other items. This limitation grew a desire within her that triggered what would turn into a vision that would outlive her through many generations to come. After hustling and saving up $500, Rose (aka Mrs. B) took a train to Chicago to make a $2,000 furniture purchase, which she would bring back to her town of residence, Omaha, Nebraska. She opened a store named Nebraska Furniture Mart, which would become one of the largest furniture stores in Midwest history. Her motto was “Sell Cheap & Tell The Truth,” which still remains a part of the company’s vision today.
Happy Throwback Thursday, my Weekday Warriors! I will be in Chicago for my first book signing tomorrow, and I am feeling so blessed and humbled this morning to have been given the opportunity to live this life. Your KC metro area weather starts off in the mid-50s and hits a sizzling 83 degrees this afternoon. Today’s topic is on ‘The Importance of Your Vision.’
Have you ever had a vision of doing or being something great, but you couldn’t seem to get anyone else around you to see it? The vision is so vivid in your mind that everywhere you look or go, that vision seems to be navigating alongside you, forcefully pushing you in directions that increase your desire. Then walks in the person who tells you to stop being foolish. Listen up, people: stop allowing the opinions of people who aren’t where you want to be to dictate what you can or cannot do. People will try confining you within their own limitations if you let them. Don’t focus on them; focus on the dream. If you see the vision, the only thing stopping you from reaching it is the you.
