Declaration of Interdependence | Entrepreneurs Unite (in Europe) (or Colorado) Today I made a commitment to be consistent about communicating with my community and inviting my community to be more connected with the work I’m doing. You, being My Community, are the ones I want to connect with. I’m so glad you’re here. I appreciate your support and I hope to connect in-person as well as in this virtual world. For you that are entrepreneurs – past, present or future entrepreneurs, you may appreciate the blog I wrote for Cowork Evergreen.
