Next friday the 21st is an important day for me. It is my 39th birthday and it marks the 15 year anniversary of being in the business. Here are some things that I have learned over the years.
1.) Respect, yourself, your clients and your competetors.
2.) Accept, yourself for who you are, accept your clients for who and where they are in their journey, accept the fact that perfection is made up of moments in time and not all of life's lessons are meant to be perfect.
3.) Never underestimate, LE, yourself, Clients, your competition, or your ability to dust yourself off and try again.
4.) Give all that you have to give, then dig down deep and give some more. Never EXPECT to recieve and you will be amazed at what comes back to you.
5.) Don't be greedy. Don't be ostentatious. Be humble and thankful and you will be loved and helped by all.
6.) Don't compete. Everyone has their own special talents and traits. If you are honest and sincere you will find your niche.
7.) Don't be jealous. Be happy for others successes and yours will follow.
8.) If you can't give 100% then stay home.
9.) Be happy, don't hold a grudge. Let it go and move on to something more positive.
10.) Be you, don't try to be anything other than what you are. Your clients, your friends and your concience will like you much better.
***Here's to another great year in the biz and in general !***
Hugs and Kisses,
Malissa xoxoox
