It’s no secret that all worthwhile things in life take time and energy. In fact, we learn that from a young age from before we even take our first steps. But one of the many obstacles business owners face in a high pressured environment is that they don’t have as much time and energy as they would like, yet they still want to achieve their dreams and goals.
While time and energy are important, much of what makes us successful in life comes down to determination and focus. Visualising what you want, and knowing what steps you must take to achieve that is absolutely essential to any business.
It wasn’t long ago that I lost everything in my former business, due to unforeseen circumstances. But instead of giving up, hitting that low point gave me the drive to succeed again. I was determined not to let the unfortunate failure, which was out of my control at the time, to get the better of me.
Like any strong-willed entrepreneur it refocused me and as a result I went on to form one of the UK’s most successful virtual office support companies, Transire Ltd and the business now has over (47) clients and I employ 4 full time staff.
Having achieved what I set out to, my determination to achieve in life did not stop there. In fact, my experience and liaison with clients – all entrepreneurs and business owners – over the past few years has inspired me and kept me driven.
Staying focused on what you want and setting out achievable steps for how you will make that happen is not difficult. It’s crucial to any business development, and also personal development. In following my dreams through my determination, I have also been successful in launching several other exciting businesses, in addition to being the Managing Director of Transire Ltd.
Recently I have offered myself to my current and new clients as a Transformational Business Mentor, providing support for business owners. I also launched my own greeting cards line, and plan to introduce these to high street stores soon. The determination to create greeting cards stems from my personal interest in sketching and artwork, something that’s kept me busy as a little side hobby. So with my dream to one day share my artwork and inspirational words with others, I focused on creating a series of greeting cards, which you will now find here.
In addition to launching my greeting card line, I’ve also been busy creating a unique experience for women entrepreneurs. I can’t wait to announce this soon.
The only reason I’ve manage to get to where I am today and see results is I have maintained determination and focus. This is not only my attitude but also that of many entrepreneurs. We all start out with a vision but those who stand out from the rest turn it into reality.
