Running your own show…

….would be a lot harder if it was easy

Reference Tree has been growing over the past few weeks and months, and with it I (amil) have been growing too. From a team of 1 we now have about 8 working full/part time on the Reference Tree. Each one has talent and skills beyond what I bring to the party!

Each day is a new challenge and learning experience, (which is good given we are an Education company).

If I got a dollar for each time someone said to me, “running your own company, why would you do something like that?” I would have a few dollars rolling around my pockets. But why do I do something difficult?

Because its the choice I choose to make.

Its your call every time. Do you do the easy thing, not look for the game changing opportunity, continue that work around because thinking of a new way to do it just is too much effort, or do you take the challenge and work to make what you see as the right way happen?

Interestingly – the question arises, if you take the easy way, and the alternative is to try a little harder, do you get to increase your moaning rights?

I bet many a person would get indignant that they can’t increase their moaning rights….let them, just don’t let them see the big yellow ear plugs you are wearing…

Enjoy and relish the challenges for one day you will be challenged no more.
