This past week we had the privilege of touring the City Repertory Theatre and really enjoyed hearing more about their current show, Come from Away. A Tony Award-winning musical that tells the remarkable true story of nearly 7,000 airline passengers from around the world who were grounded in the small Canadian town of Gander in the wake of 9/11. It sounds fabulous! It shows until September 20th.

For many business owners, the first answer that comes to mind is success. But Albert Einstein's perspective challenges us to go a little deeper. Success, he suggests, is not the goal itself. It tends to follow when we focus on something more meaningful: the value we create for others.

As you move through this month, we would love to hear from you: In your business or your work, what is one way you are focused on creating real value for the people you serve? Share it in the comments. We would love to hear your perspective!
