I started my first venture about eight years ago now. I was so excited, the newness of it and the excitement of building something myself! It was truly a wonderful time. It’s still wonderful; don’t get me wrong, it’s just… different. Like the start of a new relationship. That first kiss, when you are all filled with excitement and the future and what is going to happen next! Well it’s really kind of the same thing. I still love my business and much like a personal relationship we have had a lot (A LOT) of ups and downs. But we have hung in there together and persevered and like sitting next to your partner of eight years you have to keep the magic alive! Growth is key or complacency can sneak in real sneaky like. Maybe you like your relationships nice and comfortable with little to no change, just all chill and easy. That’s great! But if you’re anything like me, it’s the magic that keeps you alive, motivated and interested. You need that other girl/competitor to come in and shake things up, keep you on your toes. Make sure your dressing all pretty and putting your makeup on. Think of that new business similar to yours that just started up as a challenge, what would you do to keep your man/woman? Would you do whatever it takes or just give up and not even bother anymore. My best advice if you are thinking of starting up a business, think of what kind of person you are when you are in a relationship with another person, are you really ready for that hard work and long term commitment? Oh and by the way, if you get really good, you can take on a new lover or two as well! Hooray!!
