Business Fit Magazine October 2019 Issue 1 | Page 2

I have now been the editor of Business Fit
Magazine for just over a year, my first issue
being September 2018. It has been an
interesting journey. I have been the editor
of other publications, but this one has been
a little different. The articles we publish are
varied, while some are informative and provide
guidance, others are insightful and thought-
provoking, causing me to reflect on the ways I
view some things in my own life.
Veronica, the publisher and founder of the
magazine, has a strong sense of team spirit,
after all her motto is Together is Better. We
are only a small team, but our dedication and
commitment to making BFM the best we can,
makes us a powerful one.
That power has enabled us to pull together to
create a special edition, at very short notice. All
working as a team, offering suggestions and
ideas of how we can make it work, without
compromising on quality and content.
Today’s Inspired Latina is a book series of inspiration and hope, a poignant collection
of 27 personal stories that will activate your passion in each book. It’s a positive,
empowering read for anyone sitting on a dream and thinking it can’t come true.
Today’s Inspired Latina shows that it can! Learn more at www.todayslatina.com
I have been very lucky in my working life to
have had two bosses whose idea of teaching
me was not by showing me what to do, but by
encouraging me to think about how I could
achieve the task in hand. I learned so much
from these people, not least the confidence to
find my own solutions and believe in myself.
When you work with people who welcome new
ideas and listen to suggestions, you cannot
help but be more loyal and hard-working,
even when sometimes the requirements are
challenging.
Teamwork is not only important in your
working life it is vital in family life. I have been
reading the book Becoming by Michelle
Obama, it is a fascinating insight into her life
and the transformation from a Chicago South
Shore community area to entering into the
Whitehouse. The support she provided to
her husband, in order for him to become
President of the USA, was without doubt a
contributing factor to his success. However,
she is also quick to point out his support for
her when she wanted to make career changes
in their early life together, and for the causes
she chose to champion during her time as First
Lady. Their belief in each other and their drive
to make life better for people struggling with
healthcare, education or racism is uplifting and
inspiring.
In this issue of Business Fit Magazine, we
feature another amazing woman, Neli Vazquez
Rowland, whose project A Safe Haven, helps
rebuild the lives of people impacted by poverty,
behavioural healthcare, substance abuse,
prison re-entry, and homelessness.
We hope you enjoy our special issue.
