"Arizona, first steps are always scary. When we take a first step, we are ultimately acting alone. With a first step, we take a leap of faith that we will wind up on both feet when all the dust settles. All of us have some experience in taking first steps. When we initiate a move toward friendship, or make the attempt to apologize and patch up a relationship, its possible we'll fail. Ditto, when we start a new job or career, relocate and start new endeavors, or commit to a professional partnership. While the risks may not be as frightening as those that Rosa Parks took, they are nonetheless significant and meaningful, as they are our own intimate tests of character. With a first step, we at EnTime will challenge our fears and ourselves."
"The EnTime family has already begun to take that first step to Arizona. As a family, we will collectively work together and make this company, a direct reflection of not only "what we are", but more importantly, "who we are". And, what we stand for in representing our clients, investors, and sponsors."
