Leaving corporate America to start a company is hard!
Up until 4 years ago, I had spent my entire career working in structured jobs. My 10 year career at PepsiCo was defined and easy to structure my growth up the corporate ladder. There were yearly objectives and clarity around what it took to reach the next level. It meant earning my stripes and required giving and receiving support from those around me. Building teams and ensuring we all accomplished our goals was my mantra. I understood the formula: work hard, build support systems, and take on more and more challenging assignments.
When I left PepsiCo, I had my name, my critical experiences, and my network. Starting something from scratch required learning new skills, building new networks, and surrounding myself with people who had built their own companies. Branding a company, developing websites, social media, and a selling proposition is challenging. Thank goodness I am a researcher and marketer.
Fast forward 4 years...I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I suspect I work harder today than I ever have!
I appreciate all of the folks who have supported me along the way. This includes those who have provided their expert advice and support, and those who have hired me and my team at Marketing Brainology.
In our busy worlds, those who still write 'Thank You' notes stand out! They are somehow able to make the time to remember those who have gifted them with something.
So today, we want to Thank You for believing in Marketing Brainology. Stay in touch for we have even bigger plans to come...
