When I was twenty, I fell into owning a business. I am grateful to my husband for that. I also know it was my destiny. Throughout the past 17 years on the business-owner path, I’ve had different thoughts (aka- conversations with me, myself and I) as to WHY I was doing, am doing, it. Pushing, pulling, failing, learning, winning, crying, singing, hoping, wishing, learning, growing; all the feels. But, at the core of me, what it truly comes down to is creating the best me. Finding out how to become the best me possible because, the best me has the power to inspire growth and instill love. The best me is never done. There isn’t an end result, an outcome, “success”. The best me is ever changing, ever growing.
Lately, I have seen how my drive terrifies people. How it makes them pull away from me or give me an excuse. However, it also gives people hope. Makes them think. I don’t have everything right. I am not the best at all things but, I have certainly chosen to be my best me. Of course, I stumble, I’m human. I never want to meet the woman I could have been. Ever.
Being a business owner for nearly my entire working life has taught me that, business is not merely business sided. It is all encompassing. It is the relationship I have with myself. The relationship I have with my family & friends. The relationship I have with health, with spirituality, with growth. The relationship I have with education and my environment. With finance and contribution. It’s everything.
I am extremely grateful to have the opportunities I have every single day. To get to come to my office and choose to work at mastery. To choose to show up. So grateful to be born in this amazing country to my amazing parents. I am grateful to you for reading this far. 😉
I’m curious, why are you in business?
