Hello! I am certain that most anyone with internet has been to (or heard of) a forum before looking for help with various topics. Every forum has rules and so must this one. The particular nature of this type of forum doesn't seem like a place that would warrant a list of do's and don'ts but, just in case, here they are. Forum Rules: 1. No Spam! What is spamming you ask? 'Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send multiple unsolicited messages to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising, for the purpose of non-commercial proselytizing, for any prohibited purpose, or simply sending the same message over and over to the sam…

Hello! My name is Marti Gathings and I recently moved back to Greenville, SC to work with our family's construction business. In this it is my Dad, a few laborers, and my self so when it comes to the office my dad and I wear all hats. With that being said one of the things we struggle with most is staying organized within the business. Any advice in this area would be extremely helpful. Secondly, I am working towards my General Contractors License and this is extremely vigorous test. With that being said, if anyone has experience with this or has any advice it would be beyond appreciated.

Progress was made across the nation as voters in last week’s election sent women to Washington, their governors’ mansions, and other statewide offices. Here in South Carolina, we elected a female as Superintendent of Education (and Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette comes as part of the gubernatorial package), and 68% of the women who ran in 2022 won their elections. The problem? Not enough women were running. Many of us didn’t have a choice, let alone the option to choose a woman for the job. 58% The percentage of South Carolina voters who are women 59% The percentage of seats in …

Step, Walk or Run by Rachel Veltri
Written By Rachel Veltri Step, Walk, or Run…What will you do? Whatever speed one chooses to enter the new year is a personal choice. A new year with infinite possibilities is almost as exciting as the beauty of the Holiday Season we have barely moved past, at least that is how I see it. Most of my life I chose to make resolutions, to set goals, and to focus on how to be better and achieve more. That is what goal-oriented, Type A personalities do, right? We prioritize, we plan, and we push, it may annoy those around us, but it is our nature. Most years I have chosen to run or leap into a new year, but this year I decided to walk. If you wonder why the change, it’s simple, age and wisdom, I suppose. Last year, as I ran into the new year, I was amazed at how quickly everything came to a stop, all my plans, everything that I had mapped out, was not to be. I will not bore anyone with the details, but the responsibilities of adulthood chose my altered path for me. Now, this had probably happened before in my life, but as I reflect upon 2022, I understand that no matter how fast a person runs, our lives do have their own timing, and our journeys are filled with twists and turns that we absolutely cannot control. This year, instead of setting goals and making resolutions for 2023, I decided to simply recite a motto that I feel will get me through the path ahead, that from my view, looks like a mountain. “I can and I will, but not at the expense of my health or my family.” It is funny what we begin to cherish as we age, we look closer at the important of our health, cherish the moments spent with family or friends, and these two things take precedent over careers, money, and achievements. Don’t get me wrong, those are important elements of our journeys, but when we break it down, most of us come to the same conclusion in time, health and family are the crown jewels of life. Spending time with our family should be at the top of our priority list. -
