We appreciate Natalie Beck and Missy Batman with Heart of Illinois Community Foundation, one of our investors, for speaking today!
They encouraged us, challenged us, supported us and even called us out! They were inspiring to say the least! They stressed the importance of Social Entrepreneurship in whatever you do in life & encouraged everyone to incorporate it in their business plan!
The Community Foundation manages millions of dollars and has put over $65 million back into the community in their 25 years! They are the 5th largest in the state!
Just a few of the points they made today:
🟠know who you are in the room with & where you come from 👵🏻👨🏽🦳
🟠you are never off the clock ⏰
🟠show up & give back 💵
🟠be aware of the philanthropists in your community
🟠keep learning, admit when you’re wrong 🍎
🟠rejection 🚫should lead to learning, pivoting, or just picking yourself up and trying again
🟠know your strengths and weaknesses and then surround yourself with people who compliment you
🟠find your spark and what ignites you 🔥
Thank you, Community Foundation, for your support of 4 local CEO programs! We appreciate you. Thank you for believing in us! #mtzionilceo #giveback #socialentrwpreneurship #heartofillinoiscommunityfoundation #decaturil #mtzionhs #mtzionil #stt #stteresahs #stteresa #ceoinvestor
