Perseverance: It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be successful in this industry, and I have learned over the years that nothing comes easy. You have to be willing to put in the time and effort necessary to achieve your goals.”

When asked about a time in which she had to endure an uncomfortable situation that men don’t typically endure to achieve success, Erin Smith shared this story: 

“This is from just a couple years ago. I had the privilege of being invited to be part of a round table discussion with other female business leaders from in and around Weston, Florida. At one point I was asked about my experiences as a woman in a leadership position, especially since I work in what many consider a ‘man’s trade’. The host basically made me feel like I was on trial, and he grilled me with questions that were irrelevant and condescending. I very confidently rebutted his attempts and made the crowd feel 100% behind me since I was able to easily demonstrate my industry knowledge and also speak to the tremendous success we have had at All Year Cooling Weston. I would say this is just one example of what many women often have to deal with in difficult and hostile environments in order to achieve success.”
