Three years ago today! I sat in a small coffee shop in the city (while hubby was at his Aussie citizenship interview!) with my laptop, attempting to create my very first business Facebook and Instagram pages. Made an email address. Tick. Took a deep breath and registered my business name — even deciding the name was overwhelming! Tick. Now to let the community know about my offerings, to give some wellbeing and massage therapy to the locals. Trying to write my first caption for the local Seaford and Vista Heights group, nerves were — and always will be — there. But enough was enough. I had to put this dream into reality.
The next three years flashed before my eyes! I remember my very first client, my very first re-book — I ran down the house to tell my husband! Then came the upgraded table, and then the electronic height adjustable one, the growth, the lessons in what works and what was just a good lesson. All the while juggling my Office Manager job, which I so loved and still reflect on fondly. I just knew, and I set myself a goal — to open up shop before I was 30. One thing I know for certain about myself: I need a goal to thrive, I need a purpose, and that's okay. The running, the cats, music, and lifestyle help keep me sane too!
Still reading? Thank you! 🖤
Words don't explain how grateful I am — for clients past, present, and the ones I haven't met yet. The followers, the ones who refer me — I appreciate you more than you could ever know. Small businesses get the brunt of things — the ATO, this, that, and the other — but I push through anyway, because what I strive to deliver to you in the Zen studio outweighs every bit of behind-the-scenes stress that small business owners endure.
