Following our callings is not just a gift; it’s an honor. There are few other industries on earth more committed to others than those who call themselves restorers. Take a moment and think about your “why” – why are you in business? Why did you choose this profession? 

The story of our lives is written one day at a time. One success at a time. One failure at a time. One solitary moment at a time. Often, life’s defining moments happen without our knowledge. 

In an industry dominated by men, it can be an intimidating feat for a woman to step into the service trades.  However, I know from first-hand experience that women are out there who not only desire this career path but excel at it. And we need more of them.

A world full of noise and distraction is at our fingertips. We are so busy watching other peoples’ lives on our screens we’ve forgotten to be present in our own. Just when you think you’re in the zone, being effective - PING, DING, BUZZ - notifications tell you, “look over here, I’ve got something shiny!”

Program continues to advance education and career opportunities for women in the service trades across the country.

A few weeks ago, Annissa did a video column covering the “O & P Debate” – that is, the overhead and profit debate.
