Have you ever felt like your work doesn’t matter? You’re not appreciated? Someone else can do what you do?
Kim Jones Sneed, owner of
Stuff in the Bluff, an award-winning website focused on local news and entertainment in Pine Bluff, Ark., admits to feeling this way often. There have been many times she wanted to throw in the towel.
But what’s kept her going for over 20 years is feeling like she’s serving a purpose greater than just making money.
“It’s people who help you succeed,” Kim says. “Many times, it’s just that faithful customer who will continue to do business with you, who has the faith to take a chance.”
Community has played a key role in Kim’s longevity, and she returns the favor by treating every single customer with the same care, pride, and enthusiasm.
