We can’t wait to tell you all about our experience.  This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came to us through a fantastic mastermind group we are apart of! But our meeting with David wasn't just about business strategies. It was about something much more profound - the art of legacy creation and building a business that will last for a thousand generations.  David Green and the Green Family have built Hobby Lobby into a powerhouse with over a thousand locations, all managed from one mega warehouse. Talk about leveraging efficiency! The moment we drove up to the property, this got us reflecting on how we can streamline and scale our own business. But what truly resonated with us was the emphasis Hobby Lobby places on family values and vision. They conduct regular family meetings to define their values, mission, and vision. We've been doing this for our business, but now we're inspired to implement the same for our family, strengthening our legacy. The Green family understands the power of stories in shaping culture. They weave narratives that define their family's DNA and leave a lasting impact on future generations. This is legacy creation in action! This experience has fueled our passion to create a legacy that our children and their children will cherish. We're eager to pass down our values, share meaningful stories, and instill a spirit of generosity in our little ones.
