💭 Personal Reflections on 2024:
This year I stayed focused on keeping the main thing the main thing — high quality local guides in your inbox twice a week. Writing the newsletter, finding resource gaps and filling them - is by far the most important component of MVacay. I still do my best to post cute reels, make handy infographics, update our apps - but it all comes second to churning out timely information for you.
I also stayed true to my mission of primarily supporting diverse, new-to-MV and sole proprietor businesses. I love to be a support and a cheerleader for these and I’m proud to rally around such a wonderful group of entrepreneurs.
Thank you for being here with me while I grow - and for forgiving the occasional typos 😊
