Keep Re-Inventing/ Growing/ Expanding/ Transitioning

Times have changed and so have I.

I was there when black and white TV was overtaken by colour TV.

I was there when TV used to open and close.

I was there when we relied on landlines to communicate which meant we had to make phone appointments.

I was there when the Nokia 5110 cell phone was introduced. Though is now big compared to the modern phone it was a hot commodity.

I could add more but will end here. With these new innovations I had to transition, people had to transition. Today I look back and I am grateful for another transition in career and business that has started.

A friend of mine who is self-employed and runs a business once said to me, 'If you see me talking to myself, I am having a staff meeting.' If you have once run the business by yourself and had to be everything for a season then you most likely can relate. You will be operations, accounting, marketing, admin etc, all rolled up into one. That has been me for a little over a decade and it worked.

I am thrilled to share that a new transition is happening and will new team members & company in my work and business. I want to take a moment and appreciate the multiple roles I played in that time to bring the business this far. It has not been easy and bringing new people has been also another experience. I look forward to fruitfulness and prosperity moving forward.

CONFESSION: I held on to doing things by myself for some time, until 24hours was not enough hours in day. The tricky part is striking a balance between admin and profit-making roles because there is no financing. Still bootstrapping and very optimistic that it will work.

I have shared all this to encourage and implore someone hesitating about expanding, growing, transitioning etc to have an open mind. Focus on how to make it work instead of the things that could go wrong and the resources that you don't have but are essential. There will be hiccups and some fumbling but be rest assured you will get the hang of it.

ANNOUNCING the new team and projects in the next few days and I am thrilled out of my skull. Raise your imaginary glass of champagne - Here is to a new beginning! Fun times! Growth!
