I have some wonderful news that I would like to share with all of you. This week, before I come down to HSN for my visit, I am going to be in NYC for the 2009 Asian Women in Business Leadership Award. I am very honored to have been selected to receive their Entrepreneurial Leadership Award. This is a distinguished honor and one that is a defining moment in my life. It makes me think of an old Chinese saying ‘one for all & all for one.’ It makes me realize that after all of my success I never could have done it all without some very important people in my life.
If it were not for my mother planting a strong passion for herbs in me starting at a young age, or my father raising me with a grounded business sense. If it were not for my sisters, standing behind me 100 % along the way or my husband supporting me through all the ups & the downs. If it were not for my chemist and lifelong friend encouraging me to start a skincare line based on my knowledge of herbs and bring it to the U.S. If it were not for my team at HSN partnering with me to help my dreams become the fastest growing skincare line. If it were not for my dedicated team of employees from across the globe, both in the U.S. & in China to help me solve the everyday challenges. If it were not for my beautiful children providing me with the inspiration to keep going. And if it were not for all of you, my Weidies, giving me a chance to tell my story, share my knowledge and help to spread the benefits for Traditional Chinese inspired beauty, I would not be the person I am today. So, I thank you all for your support. Together we are all intertwined in the fabric of my heart and I thank you for joining me for this journey!
The path to greatness is along with others. ~ Baltasar Gracion
