On Wednesday this week, we celebrated 19 years in business. Woohoo!
Reflecting back over the years, I recalled my first goal was to still be in business after 1 year.
When I made it to one year, the next goal was to make it to 5 years.
Sadly, achieving this goal was against the odds.
When 5 years came, I set the goal for 10, then 15 and now at 19 years, my goal is to make 20 years.
It all started by working with a friend to help her document her procedures, a bonus was her getting an extra day a month in time.
I was hooked.
I loved learning about what other people do in their businesses and how clever they are.
I love solving problems and so 3 weeks after asking my boss for part-time, I found myself in business with no plan, no capital and no idea.
When you jump in the deep end you have two choices, sink or swim.
It’s been a wild ride and I’ve met some wonderful people along the way. My beautiful clients, many of whom have become great friends and my fellow business colleagues.
My heart is filled with gratitude.
Gratitude for all the people. Gratitude for all the lessons. Gratitude for Ross’ support and gratitude for the person I have had to become.
We talk about property development in terms of improving the property so it becomes more valuable, well it’s the same with personal development.
Being in business is the biggest personal development course you’ll ever undertake.
Investing in your own personal development is the quickest way for you to become more valuable.
How are you going to invest in yourself?
