Wow... another extremely gratifying year under my belt.
I’ve talked a lot about the many people I owe the world for helping make my dream of working under my own name a reality (my supportive husband & family, my dear friends, my referrers, & my incredible clients).
But what I haven’t talked about yet is the sleepless nights I spent leading up to the decision. I haven’t talked about the anxious tears. The nervous checks of my ‘rainy day’ savings account and double-checks what I needed each month to make it work.
I haven’t talked about the constant threat of publicly failing if I couldn’t maintain clients or book new ones. The worries about healthcare. The hesitant support in my old boss’ voice when he said “I always saw this coming”.
I agonized over the decision to work for myself. I thought about it for nearly a year even before making the leap.
But it has been one of the best decisions I could have made for myself.
Over these past few years I have helped people create entire businesses, successful websites, and singular identities from scratch. I’ve helped multiple businesses have their best years on record. I’ve worked on vibrant video campaigns, informative e-books, and countless emails, ads, blogs, and social posts. I’ve problem-solved, coded, and relentlessly learned. This year, I won my first award for an interactive online tool that shares the geographic inspiration of a fine artist’s paintings with his collectors.
I can’t wait to see what the next year has in store. Thank you to everyone who believes in me and who believes in my clients.
You have given me, and continue to so generously give me, the unequivocal gift of this business.
