Being a small business owner has brought me a lot of great things in the past 12-months. It's brought me a sense of clarity that I've never experienced before, and some very amazing friendships. Friendships that started just by networking with the right people, and then those 'right people' became business acquaintances, and friends. Really, really good friends.
And it's in those friendships I have discovered that we're all wanting the same thing: success. We believe that hard work, and a positive outlook will indeed bless us with everything that we've worked, and in some cases suffered for.
So I couldn't have been prouder to have watched someone who started as a business acquaintance and become a very dear friend, achieve something pretty darn special. My dear friend threw caution to the wind and she did it. She opened her own studio.
I went to her Official Opening a couple of weeks ago, and I stood there in awe of the amount of people that appreciated her so much and loved her so dearly. She filled her studio, people were outside! I actually found myself just standing there watching her, in that non-creepy-but-totally-in-awe moment when you're just too proud to function. And I may have teared up, just a little when she was talking about her daughter... "It's all for you, kiddo!" *cries*
She did it. She chased her dream. She didn't give up. And it's paid off.
And I am so proud of her.
