About WOE Enterprise
A few years ago my life hit rock bottom. I looked into the bible and I saw the word woe. I also wanted to see how the dictionary defined woe. Woe meant trials or tribulations. In life a woe to you might be a job loss and to another it might be a broken relationship.
One day I was thinking how I could reinvent my life so I wrote down the word woe on a piece of paper. As the document spoke to me it revealed that woe now meant WOE as in Word of Encouragement. From there I received this slogan.
“Before you leave work or go to sleep tonight, give someone a WOE, a Word Of Encouragement.”

The first step towards staying encouraged is becoming encouraged. This is not as easy as it sounds because naysayers and jealous people abound. But so do clichés. Keep your eyes on the doughnut, not upon the hole. You cannot cross a chasm in two medium-sized steps. Be your own taskmaster.
