After a great run,
Better, Smarter, Richer comes to a close.

Dear BSR community,

We know all good things must come to an end. Well, the regular newsletter of Better, Smarter, Richer is one of them. It is time for me to turn my attention to fewer things. I am so grateful to so many for the support they have given me. To name a few: Michelle Walch, Marsha Lindsay, Susan Taylor, Lucia DeLisa, Tammy Marquez-Oldham, Kim Allchurch-flick, and Julie Fast. I will never shed my passion for small business, entrepreneurship, or helping those with their new ventures and business. The energy and enthusiasm I have derived from all these entrepreneurs have carried me through more than one hard event in my life. I have gotten so much from all of you.

Please read the last Better, Smarter, Richer blog post on IRL Social Skills. Mara is a prime example of the best that entrepreneurs can be. We will not be updating the blog anymore, but the BSR website will stay up for 2023 and you can certainly still buy my book and can contact me with questions or concerns.

Thank you for all your energy and commitment and enthusiasm and creativity all of which have made Portland a better place to be.

-- Jackie B.
