Recently I read a Tweet saying ‘entrepreneurs live a few
years of their life like no one else will, so they can live the rest of their
life like no one else can’. The author was undoubtedly referring to the sacrifice
and effort a business owner makes.
It takes unwavering belief and commitment to invest so
much time and effort without the guarantee of accomplishment or even a
decent living. The energy, enthusiasm and determination
will take a persistent battering too.
Reflecting on this year, it has been disruptive, sometimes extreme
and at other times, uncertain with overwhelming
pressure. It has repeatedly challenged my motivation but I’m glad to say, the
hard work is paying off.
We have secured substantial new business, there is more in the
pipeline and existing customers are travelling more. In reality, we couldn’t be in a
better position. Now is not the time to stop and marvel though - it is the time
for even more motivation and even stronger belief.
