A few words of Inspiration from Grannie Annie

While chatting with Ann about some of the changes we've gone through at eBay, she shared the following, "I miss Meg and Bill. They always treated me good and I had confidence in them. I will stay with eBay and adjust to the changes. If you think out-of-the-box, you'll make it. You've got to stop thinking 'What's eBay going to do for me' and learn to help ourselves."

We then chatted a bit about the scooter and how it came to be decorated. Ann faced the challenges of decorating the scooter the same way she faces doing business in a competive market, "It took me five trips to the hardware store to fix this cart and had to get the pipe cut twice before it would fit." (notice the stick-to-it-ness). Near the end of our chat, Ann shared the following, "I'm going to stick with the one that brought me to the dance," adding, "I look to see what it takes to solve the problem and think about how I can make it work for me."

Thank you Ann for inspiring me and reminding me why I work for eBay - it's because of people like you and it's eBay that provides that opportunity.

In closing I leave you with a quote by Art Williams, ""I'm not telling you it is going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it" and with a bit of inspiration from Grannie Annie - take it away Ann...
