Yesterday I received a call from Greg, a client friend I work with once a year. The last time I saw him I dropped off a couple of cookies with a proof and told him about my dream of a business. So it was not surprising that he greeted me with the question "How are the cookies going?" I was happy to report my dream had come true. I was actually in the cookie business. I told him of the challenges and the successes. I shared the joy of watching a customer taste a bite of a Heartsong Cookie for the first time. Greg listened intently and then shared a story of his own. He told me fifteen years ago he started a "side" business of his own with a $1,000 investment and 200 customers. Five years later he quit his full time job to run his "side" business. Fifteen years later his "side" business grosses $7-8million...yes, MILLION dollars a year. Amazing!
Greg said when you do things for all the right reasons...like making people happy, good things will follow.
When I grow up...
I want to be Greg!
Many hugs,
Kathy
