Small Victiories

I've decided I need to celebrate these to keep me motivated. I'm so used to a world of % of quota met and forecasted revenue $$ that now when all I get after months of work is one client I just feel like that isn't enough! One well that's great but where are the other 50 I'm used to balancing.

It's a different type of beast you wrestle when starting your own business. Today is the battle with whither or not I turn off the email notification, yesterday was getting the fax machine working and tomorrow I'm sure it will be, do I wear my hair curly or straight to a business owners networking event. (Curly implies unruly and wild while straight exudes sophistication and elegance)- Or so I tell myself since I hate my curly hair.

These small details that seem like nonsense are actually things that take up time in my day and I HATE IT. I want to negotiate deals, plan huge events, help people solve problems...But I have to start somewhere. So today I guess that place is researching Linked IN groups and emailing past clients.

Once client is great news. So is having a working fax AND meeting 10 new people who could be potential business relationships. I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and doggonet people like me.

Sorry WB but I saw a picture of Bill and Melinda Gates in People as I was stair stepping at the gym and I thought to myself, He's 53 and I'm 26. Plenty of time Mollie. Plenty of time.
