I’ve worked directly for countless small business owners, both as an employee and as a freelancer. And I’ve owned my own small business for nearly a decade.
So, believe you me — I know your pain all too well… The struggle to earn a steady income. The difficulty in sourcing and converting new clients and growing your business. And the seemingly endless effort required to simply run your organization and keeping the whole operation on the rails
In other words, the demands are relentless. And, at times, the entire proposition can feel utterly thankless.
But here’s the REAL truth behind your situations… As a small business owner, you’ve got a LOT to be thankful for…
You’re the captain of your own ship, the master of your own destiny. In fact, you’ve achieved the pinnacle of the American Dream…
You Are Your OWN BOSS!
Good, bad or indifferent — the Buck Stops With YOU.
And you answer to NO ONE. (Except, of course, to your clients. But you PICK and CHOOSE the clients you opt to work with. The relationship exists of YOUR terms.)
Most of importantly of all, when it comes to your income, the sky is the limit! You’re in a position to earn as much or as little as you choose.
It all boils down to effort and desire.
And this places you firmly in a position envied by members of the business community the world over.
So, When You’re Sitting Down to Thanksgiving Dinner Tomorrow…
Be thankful for rare, exceptional, and privileged opportunity of which you’ve so wisely availed yourself.
And also, be thankful your clients… They are the engine that makes your business go. The rotation that turns your (business) world. And without them, captain of your ship or not, your vessel would be sunk.
For My Part…
I’m certainly most thankful for — YOU — my clients! So, I’m dedicating my Thanksgiving thanks this year (and every year) to YOU.
Cheers!
P.S. I strongly encourage you to pay it forward and let your clients know how thankful you are for them and all they contribute to the success of your business.
