2001 was a memorable year. I got married that spring. The country was shocked by September 11th. My company was incorporated on September 12th.
Those first few months were slow going. I had one client and started networking. I sub-contracted with another consulting company to learn the ropes. I met some wonderful people and logged some great experience. I added a few clients every year, and ten years later, I'm still here.
The emotion I feel most strongly when I think about these 10 years is gratitude. There are so many people I met and worked with along the way who have inspired me, kicked me in the tush, pushed me, listened to me, encouraged me, mentored me, referred me, and paid me. Without them, I would have given up. Without them, it would not have been half as much fun. I am eternally grateful to all of them for their impact on my work and my life.
There are at least 100 people I have to talk about, and I will name names. It's going to take some time to get through the list, all the way up to the anniversary and beyond. Look for their stories, right here, coming in my very next blog.
