Happy six-year business anniversary!!
Here are my six lessons from this year!
For five years, I held a fundraiser; to celebrate my business anniversary this year, I needed to take a pause. But even without a fundraiser, meeting with my friends who, somewhere along the way, became volunteers and celebrating another year in business was a must. 💜
Celebrating all the moments is important. And even if you don’t see everyone who has been behind the scenes in this photo, they are there.
You can even read about a few of them in my book. 😉 Shameless plug, HA!
Here are my six lessons from this year!
1. Bet on yourself.
Not everyone is going to agree with you. Even the people who love you most may not see your vision. That doesn’t mean they don’t believe in you. Sometimes they just can’t see what you see yet.
2. Learn to say no.
I’ve learned there are actually only a few things I have to do to create a successful business. And learning the difference has given me so much more time, energy, and clarity.
3. Drink the coffee while it’s hot. ☕️
One more shameless plug, HA!
This one has become more than a book title. It’s how I try to live.
When things get crazy, go back to the foundational habits.
4. Allow new systems.
The systems that worked when you were starting out may not work when you grow. And that’s okay.
5. Deadlines are my besties.
When I give myself a date to get something done, it may not always happen on that exact date…but it gets pretty darn close. 😂
6. And far from least… relationships matter.
Coffee dates. Check-ins. Conversations. Introductions. The person you almost didn’t reach out to doesn't always have to be transactional. Sometimes it simply reminds you: You are not doing this alone.
Thank you to all of you! I am truly grateful for each and every one of you, from being tagged on this post to those cheering behind the scenes. Thank you!
