nothing is wasted...when you are small

no experience, no material...and of course no money...because everything matters..every bad experience, every good...you learn from and you grow from...

i am an introvert...who would rather shy away in my own small world than the face the public...but sometimes life gives you no such choice....and everything is for a reason...

a wise friend told me, when I fell down the rabbit hole of wonderland after tragedy struck...to pay it forward...go help other people....every good thing I learned can help someone and every mistake I made can help someone else not make the same blunder...it was the only thing that made sense at the time...

i had to restart in business and life at the same time... made a lot of mistakes...still do, but they don't trip me up as much...and in the mean time...I have met lots of people who inspire me, and challenge me to be  better...

as i reach out to businesses to interview,  i am amazed at the talent, heart and passion of people...

and hopefully sharing their stories can do the same for you...while letting them know they are not alone...you get it...

there is no experience wasted...not one rejection, not one crabby client...nothing..they are all experiences meant to be learned from...there is no single successful business person who hasn't seen their share of failure, off days or...excuse me " what the hell just happened days"...

i was reading a study this week..our human brain is programmed to remember the pain more than remembering the good, the happy....we have to choose to think good.. it is the easy path to get stuck in the pain.

and smart businesses that succeed know that, move forward, the past is to be learned from..great things ahead....i have found the most resilient and successful of businesses have been through the worst of times...

as i share these stories...know that i haven't given you all...somethings are meant to be kept private..and these businesses have to trust me....but listen to what they are saying...their experience..their success comes with a price...and yet they keep on smiling....

and no i don't smile all the time...here is a shot of me in the midst..."so you need to have me be a stand in....i have things to do"..."what do you mean I did it wrong, how can you be a stand-in wrong??"..."oh, stand on the mark...not where I think the mark should be..THE mark"..

small details count...
