They say, “Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.”
I'm not entirely convinced that's true… because we definitely work. 😂 We work a LOT. There are emails at ridiculous hours, meetings that could have been emails, ideas that start with “I've been thinking…” (a phrase my sisters have quite rightly learned to fear 😬), and the occasional moment where we all collectively wonder whose bright idea this was.
But then there are days like this. ❤️
Standing beside my sisters — my business partners, my sounding boards, my reality checks and, occasionally, the people who tell me to step away from the keyboard 😂 — and Marianne and Eric, the husband-and-wife powerhouse behind SimpleClinic.
Two family-owned businesses. A bunch of people who had slightly crazy ideas, backed themselves, and somehow found each other along the way.
And I think maybe the saying should actually be…
Find work that means something to you. Then find your tribe.
Find the people who celebrate your wins without feeling threatened by them. The ones who make room at the table. Who share knowledge, open doors, challenge your thinking and remind you who you are when things get hard.
Because business can be competitive… but it doesn't always have to be.
Some of the most beautiful things happen when good people and good businesses decide to lift each other up instead. ❤️
ARIYA Health and SimpleClinic.net started as two completely separate businesses, but somewhere along the way we found shared values, a shared purpose and, most importantly, people we genuinely like doing life and business with.
Although, judging by these photos, perhaps slightly too much. 😂🥂
Find your purpose. Find your people. Build something you're proud of.
And if you can do it with your sisters, family, some best friends, and a few wonderfully clever, slightly crazy humans beside you… even better. ❤️
Here's to family businesses, strong women, the very patient men who work alongside us 😂, genuine collaboration and finding your tribe.
Because success is so much better when you have people to laugh with along the way. 🧡
