Giving Thanks for all who Partnered in My Success
November 26, 2008 · Online Business
2008 has been an incredible year, and 2009 is going to be the Web Success Diva’s best year yet. My parent company, Peas & Carrots, Inc. has grown exponentially — from being a one-person, at home business to a global company with over 32 team members… I’m definitely thankful for all our success. Most importantly, I’m so thankful for all those who’ve partnered in my success!
Success does not happen in a bubble, by toiling through the night alone. Any amount of significant success happens when other people believe in you, other people support you… it’s all about collaboration and support. On the day before Thanksgiving, I’d like to show my thanks to all the people who have helped me build the global company I run today. Without each and every one of you, the Web Success Diva would not exist as it does today!
Sweet Jelly Belly, my husband Gilbert McDavis, for supporting me no matter how crazy my ideas got. For tolerating all the pre-success late nights and long hours. Your perseverance, integrity, and work ethic have always inspired me to be the best I could be, in everything I do. It took a while, but I’ve made it and it wouldn’t have been without you 
My 3 beautiful children; Lil’ B, Gabs, and Lil’ Man. Who’ve always supported mommy, all the trips, all the long hours, all the love :-) My kids rock!
My business partner and second biggest supporter, Debbi Chambers. For everything, for being a smart woman who kept me always heading in the right direction and being a true friend! No matter how crazy my ideas you’ve always been my biggest cheerleader
My favorite mastermind buddy on the planet, Nancy Marmolejo. For always being my voice of reason and helping keep me on track. Your wisdom is inspirational, you’ve transformed my business and my mind
My favorite Sister in Christ, Angel McClinton. Angel, angel, angel. What a tremendously giving and amazing woman you are. As a friend, prayer warrior, and business woman - you’ve been tremendously inspirational to me!
My favorite Brother in Christ, Ron Hudson. Not only has Ron taught me amazing influence and persuasion techniques, he truly is a genuine, honest, and hard-working family man! Stay blessed!

My favorite traffic man extraordinaire, Jack Humphrey. When I first came out of corporate and from behind the scenes, Mr. Man Jack discovered my blog and supported me from the start! This man rocks!

My amazing family of clients… Each and every one of you have brought many hours of fun to my “job.” You’re support during the times when my son was very ill, and your support of our mission here — have been truly amazing. I am so thankful to be blessed with all of you!
My amazing team… All I can say is you guys rock, each and every one of you! I hope you enjoy the rest of your year and time off, see ya in January… can’t wait to see what we accomplish together next year!
Last but certainly not least… You, the reader. Without you, your comments, your support, and your faith in me — none of this would be possible. I hope everyone has a truly blessed Thanksgiving!
I am truly thankful to everyone and excited to see what 2009 brings for all of us!
(*Group Hug*)
Happy Thanksgiving Everyday!

Maria-
I want to be JUST like you when I have 3 kids! I had no idea. You are such a hottie-and I mean that in both the good lookin’ sense and the “you are burnin’ up the social media sphere” sense.
2009 is GONNA rock. Can’t wait to see you shine chica.
