8 years ago today I decided to jump off the cliff edge and create a company of my own. After years of feeling unfulfilled I felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain despite of the feeling of starring at the foot of Everest about to start the ascent! 😧
8 years on, it has been much harder than I anticipated, with results taking much longer than anticipated, but I decided to stay true to my core beliefs and principles believing they would put me on a path to be proud of. Without advertising and with no start up capital, its been a bumpy ride, lots of sleepless nights, stress, frequent rejection, and lonely in the early days.
On this day I am so proud of the journey that I have been on, building and growing the business organically, often with little to no income for months on end, and juggling bills. I'm certainly glad I was blissfully unaware of the real difficulties of starting and running a business art the start as I might well have decided not to take the plunge!
Now, in the light, and so grateful to be here and be surrounded by great people without whom this wouldn't be possible, today feels a very sweet day.
People often praise me for my relentless persistency and tenacity, which have served me well, and kept me in business thus far. I have always believed in being persistent, consistent and always doing the right thing, evening if it means earning less, or waiting longer. When I look back at relationships built on solid foundations which have been nurtured and cultivated over time, they continue to grow and flourish and it feels so satisfying.
As I look ahead to the future, I now feel truly fulfilled, and though not still free of the sleepless night (much fewer) and the worry it comes from a place of care, care for my business, my lovely team, and my fantastic clients, all of whom I am proud to say we serve with integrity, compassion and conviction.
Always learning, always adapting, always caring.
Life feels blessed today 💛
