Sometimes it feels like we're moving in slow motion and other times the speed of light. Between the ups and downs there are these moments where it helps to step back and look at the big picture.
I started my business in March of 2011. There were times where I thought I'd never get the business off of the ground. I thought I'd have to crawl back to the workforce, tail between my legs. I saw opportunities go by, I gave pitches that fell flat, I wrote proposals that missed the mark.
As with everything else, if you want to achieve greatness, it's going to take work. I love what I do and even though I've not yet achieved my ultimate goals, I'm proud to say that I made it through some slow times, I fought through doubt, and my patience is paying off.
2012 has started off with a bang and I'm sincerely grateful for the incredible number of referrals I've gotten this year alone. As hard as I work at doing what I do, I know that without an incredible network, my business would be nowhere. I want to thank you once again to everyone that has supported this vision, that believes in the work I'm capable of doing and has referred me to others.
When you are running full speed, stop to take a breath. When you are moving at a crawl, thoughts jumbled, productivity at a halt, stop to think about where you are going. Be patient, because if you set your mind to something and are willing to fight through the ups and downs, you have a great chance of getting there.
