So, I know it's not technically fall…I'm sure the universe will have one more heat wave in her before it's all said and done, but I'm craving it.  I want the boots, the sweaters, pumpkin spice, leaves, Chiefs….you know, Fall!  But that also means that open enrollment is right around the corner and then it's the stress, long hours, longer meetings and friends and family not remembering it's open enrollment!  But here we are…same bat time, same bat location.

One of the things that I like most about being a part of this series is the motivation that kicks in gear for me when I see all the cool things that women in our industry are accomplishing.  They are stepping out of their comfort zones time and time again and being open to new opportunities that come their way.  So maybe that's the focus for enrollment season this year: be open.  Open to new products, open to niche markets, open to partnerships, open to thinking of things in different ways.  This seems to be the theme for both Ashley and Sally, who are featured this month.
