Learning From The Ground Up

This weekend was a blast.  I spent it with my wife building our business. It takes work don’t get me wrong, there were a lot of stressful days leading up to this past weekend and a lot of planning putting it together.  But we saw reward from our work, and seeing that with determination and hard work it does pay off.

One thing I really learned was how important it is to really try and meet people where they are at.  It’s really easy to get caught up in our own story, but everyone has things they are working through, and everyone can use encouragement.

Another thing I’m realizing is you really have to stay in something for the long haul.  Both with building a business, and with building up people.  We’ve all had the person who stepped into our life for a short period and then stepped out of it.  That leaves us feeling un-cared for.

We’ve got to stay committed both to seeing building our dreams and in building people.  If  you stick with it, it won’t be wasted.  You will see results, you will see change, and more than that you will help others in their journey as well.

If anything as I grow my business I’m realizing the real importance is not just generating cash flow.  It’s about growing people.
