🌸 Spring is in the air and so are fresh ideas, new connections, and opportunities to grow! 🌱

I’m looking forward to TODAY, hosting our Voices of Success networking lunch where local business professionals come together to build relationships, support one another, and share ideas that help us all move forward.

This month’s Spring Icebreaker is going to be a fun one! 🌷We’ll be asking questions like:

✨ “If your business were a spring plant or flower right now… what would it be and why?”

✨ “What’s ONE thing you’re spring cleaning out of your business this year?”

You’d be surprised how much you can learn about someone’s business — and their heart — from answers like these. 💛

Whether your business is blooming, rebuilding, growing roots, or stepping into a new season, you are welcome at the table.

Come ready to connect, collaborate, laugh a little, and support other amazing local businesses in our community.

📍Voices of Success Networking Lunch
🕧 Networking begins at 12:30 PM

Tag a local business owner who should join us! 👇

✨ Voices of Success Book Club – A Little Taste of “Unreasonable Hospitality” ✨

Sometimes it’s not about perfection… it’s about the experience. 💛

As we wrap up our read of Unreasonable Hospitality tomorrow, I wanted to bring a small piece of that message to life for our next meeting. Inspired by the idea of giving more than expected, I created these simple “spring flower” bites 🌼—a little reminder that thoughtful touches can turn ordinary moments into something memorable.

This is what our book club is all about:
✨ Growing together
✨ Sharing ideas
✨ Supporting each other’s businesses
✨ And finding small ways to create BIG impact

I can’t wait to hear everyone’s takeaways from the book and how you’re bringing these ideas into your own businesses and daily lives.

Because when we lead with intention and heart… we all rise together. 💫

📚 Join us at our next Voices of Success Book Club meeting—we’re just getting started!

💃🏽 And if you know me… I couldn’t resist adding a little creativity, a little heart, and a little “dance through life” energy into it. Because whether it’s in business, community, or home… it’s those thoughtful touches that turn moments into memories.

With love,
Regina Rose
Your 🏡✨

I have been utilizing Chat GBT extensively for my business over the past month and decided to ask to create a graphic to show how we work together. Here is the result. For fun, try it and share it with us.

Last night I met with 2 wonderful ladies and we talked extensively about our businesses and the benefits of using AI. And I’m wondering if you are taking advantage of these tools yet and at what level?

-Are you using Chat GBT and are you accessing it with a computer or through an app?

-Do you employ other AI tools, and if so, which ones do you prefer?

Personally, leveraging the app has significantly enhanced my daily life, particularly my favorite to researching companies and quotes in real estate.

However having the app on my phone opened up more opportunities to use it daily for work and personally. I feel it’s worth every bit of that monthly fee!

My father recently experienced severe coughing attacks, and thanks to the guidance of his primary care physician, Dr. Catrina, we went through outpatient services at Sentera, and we were able to determine that his lungs were clear but his throat was swollen.

Between Dr. Catrina's advice and Chat GBT's assistance, we managed his condition with a regimen of thick liquids and soft foods, and I utilized AI to provide updates and gather suggestions for adding healthy variety to his diet.

Dr. Catrina even made a personal call to follow up and review notes, and we maintained communication through My Charts. What was particularly helpful was the ability to compile updates into a PDF from Chat GBT to report updates to different doctors, which was easily generated in seconds!

This experience has been a blessing, especial trying to balance work, life and remembering it all! I encourage those who only use AI for basic searches to explore its potential as a helpful assistant.

And don’t forget to block out time for our next Voices of Success Meeting on Monday, April 13th where SingTone Technologies will lead us into other great meeting!

Reconnecting, sharing business insights, and fostering new relationships always make for a great day. Following our January meeting where we set business goals, AND we launched an accountability group for book club discussions. To date, we've had two engaging sessions reviewing books and are working on our third. If the date isn't on your calendar, explore our upcoming meetings and join us! https://757vos.com

Today, Regina called me to see if I was coming to this networking event at Oyster point. I completely forgot. Honestly I was working on one of many grant applications due for submission. Apparently, work as a Business owner is never complete. Thank you for the gentle reminder, and please don't look....
