That Took HOW Long?

I had a conversation with a representative from Infusionsoft.com this week about how to work their system. It’s a very sophisticated email marketing vehicle I just signed up for. Kirk opened the training call by explaining this image –how it takes the business owner from a simple email blast to automated follow-up systems and business growth. Who doesn’t want that?!

“It took 9 years of blood, sweat and tears to create this screen.”

In a heartbeat, I knew exactly what he meant. Although we’re productive and succeeding along the way, it can take years before the world sees clearly the image we have in mind.

I gave a talk last month at the Ridgefield Women’s Forum and shared a story about the persistence it takes to bring a dream to fruition. It’s Lesson #44 in the new edition of my book Soul Proprietor. Take a look:

    Loved this video, Jane.

    So nice that you not only got recognition professionally for your wonderful egg designs, but that your family finally gave you the recognition that you so deserved also. It is often those closest to us that are the hardest to win over. 🙂

    Keep inspiring!!
