One Year Plus

Along with yesterday’s blog about resetting, I’ve also felt that I’ve needed a regrouping, of sorts.

It’s been over a year now since the first thoughts began for Escalate Love.  There are things that I know to be true about this business.  And there are things that are unclear.

I was talking today with my kiddo, explaining / pondering on how the more research and studies I do, the more I know that I have to find my own way with this, while incorporating the important things that I’ve learned.

I brought up starting my appraisal business.  I went against several norms in the industry because I needed that business to run a certain way to be able to be there for the kiddos.  There were no exceptions to how I needed it to happen because I was not going to fail; I was going to have this business and be home with my babies.  There was no plan b.

Then my darling kiddo brought up when I had the cheer program.  I made that program run how I thought was best for the kiddos.  I changed some big things and got trusted people to help do the things I didn’t know.  And the numbers went up every year!  I don’t know why that hadn’t even crossed my mind as being in this context!

Tonight I am thankful for this perspective shift.  The past year + has been important.  I have been researching, learning, and trying different things   I have worked on patience, as I’ve wanted to be able to push this faster.  But ultimately I am thankful that God has a plan here.  I would move forward slowly, recalibratibg with little moments like today, rather than rush ahead and need to cause bigger disruptions to fix things in the future!
