I am sitting on a huge verandah on a lovely beachfront vacation home in Discovery Bay (one of my favourite cool out towns in Jamaica) and taking a few minutes just to breathe in the middle of the most hectic period since I have opened shop.
My biggest event to date is on this weekend (tomorrow in fact) and I am just sitting and watching the rain as it challenges my calm. It is in fact an outdoor event and several millions are invested in this project.
I have to check the way that I work. I need staff on a regular basis, not just intermittently. I dont want to get used to working alone and doing all the work by myself. There is nothing to be gained from sole proprietorship but heart attacks and vacationless existence. I want to build an enterprise that can stand up on its own without me. The way I see it, I have a few years to hire and train some people and getting a sustainable system in place.
I have three temp team members with me here. One is my brother who begins university in the fall and the other two are assistants from a previous job. It is my hope that I will be able to hire them one day.
I just turned 27. My birthday came and went as I worked my ass off as a business owner. I drove in pissing rain for 5 hours and almost went over a precipice with my brother and two assistants in the car. Not exactly a happy birthday. But I am one year closer to achieving dreams I have had for a very long time. Give thanks.
So, with a sense of peace, I sign out, in the midst of a lot of chaos around me. God is good. All the time.
