By: Meredith Armstrong, [email protected] League City Regional Chamber of Commerce My house is haunted. Not by the living dead, but by the pitter patter of little feet that jolt me awake every morning at 5:30 a.m. with a whisper, “Can I watch kid shows?” Of course it is usually a school day, so there is no time for kids shows and I have to get ready for work. After I gather my three children, under the age of four, pour my coffee, which by the way has evolved from a coffee cup to a 30-ounce YETI tumbler, I make my way to the schoolhouse and then on to work. Despite these early morning wake-up calls, I have realized I am no longer a student hitting the snooze button every five minutes, but a productive force in the business community. I am awake and ready for the day. This is the same way with the people who you surround yourself in business. They are your wakeup call.They are your colleagues, employees, and fellow chamber members.These people motivate you to be awake and present.
