Well, here we are again folks! Another holiday season is here and about to be gone, along with another year. Lately, I've been in a retrospective state of mind, like many others, I think, wondering where the year has gone so quickly. As I think about the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year, it makes me feel so good to know that I've accomplished much of what I set out to do this year, what about you?
More than just accomplishing tasks or goals, I really set out to find my true happiness this year. In keeping with accomplishing a task that can take a lifetime to accomplish, I think I did pretty good this year.
My online business has come a long way from just one year ago. I am still very committed to making it a success, which, from what I understand, is a task in and of itself since most businesses fail the very first year. After the business storms I've weathered this year, it's not hard to see why.
It's so very hard to stay committed when times are tough and no one seems to be paying attention to you or your business. Trust me when I tell you, there have been times this year when I was tempted to just throw in the towel and rush back, as quickly as possible, to my old corporate organization. When you get used to security, it's really tough to give up security; especially a paycheck you can count on every two weeks like clockwork.
Yes, indeed, when you know your mortgage is due in seven days and you aren't sure your month end sales will gross you the money you need to get that payment in on time, the first thing you want to do is cry, "uncle, alright, now give me my money!" but, then you get that order online or you receive a phone call from an old customer who would like to make a purchase or you meet that person by chance who really 'gets you' or your products and then you're reminded of the reason why you set out on this crazy venture in the first place.
Why, you ask? Because if you have that true entrepreneurial spirit, you know that calling your own shots and flying by the seat of your pants is worth the risk. The potential reward is worth all of the struggle. The possibility that just around the corner is your big break is the reason why you keep believing that one day, one day soon, you will have proof positive that this will all have been worth it. Because, you are a Rhinocerous! You claim with unbridled glee, you have grown a thick skin, little did you know and not a cow.
Now, after all of that is said and done, have a look at my newly updated website! www.lapoluxuryspabaskets.com
