MIRACLES! Footprints Across America is in the business of creating miracles for people who otherwise might fall through the cracks, or who need guidance to find the help they need.
"Explore this next great frontier where the boundaries between work
and higher purpose are merging into one, where doing good really is
good for business." - Richard Branson
My name is Leslee Long. I am often asked why I made Footprints Across America a sole proprietorship instead of a non-profit. The answer is very simple. A sole proprietorship answers only to God. Answers to prayers for guidance can be heard more easily without the noise of a board of directors or of the government (IRS). Doing what is right is not open for discussion among other decision makers. It is just done!
Footprints Across America is meant to set the example for a new kind of small business - Profit Forward businesses.
My life has been spent working with small businesses. My father was an accountant and I was bookkeeping manager for our firm. I owned a small retail business for 8 years, was on a Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors for 14 years, was Treasurer of a 348 unit homeowner's association for 17 years, and I am a graduate of Leadership Santa Cruz County (CA) where I received special recognition for my organizational skills. More personal achievements include membership in the West Coast Professional Women's Bowling Tour, 3 perfect games of 300 bowled, and I was President of the Santa Cruz Women's Bowling Association for 2 years. I am most proud that my clients, colleagues, and friends know me to be caring, dependable, honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, grounded, and with the utmost integrity.
As the Profit Forward business model spreads, we want your stories. We want to learn about your business. We also want the stories of miracles and the people that made them happen.
As we do our work, we must always remember - Laus Deo (Glory be to God)!
