This coming Monday will mark the four year anniversary since I left the comfort of a relatively secure job and paycheck to start my own business. As I wrote earlier this year, it’s been like rolling a large boulder uphill, day after day, but every minute and ounce of energy I expend to reach that summit, where I am the master of my own destiny and the only people who can fire me are my clients, is fulfilling beyond words.
To all of my clients, thank you for your continued support and trust, for making this dream and journey possible.
To all of my readers and followers, thank you for your time and interest, your comments and feedback, which keep me motivated and energized.
And to my family and friends, thank you for your love and patience, especially when I get my priorities mixed up.
I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.
