Two steps forward, one step back

That's just the way of things, two steps forward, one step back. Two steps forward, one step back. Nothing worth doing is easy.

Celebrate the small stuff! Take the wins when they come and revel in them. It sounds silly but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Celebrate taking the step, give yourself a pat on the back for having the discipline and determination to take action.

I'm celebrating today. SGA has been a hobby, a passion a moneypit... It is a dream that I cannot let go of. Just when I think I'm done and finished with it I find some kind of rationale to keep going. You see, the thing is, I guess there is a small part of me that recognises the fact that this little endeavour can become a big endeavour. But that it will only become a big endeavour if I really, truly and absolutely commit to making it so.

That being said, I'm eight years in now so I reckon I've got the commitment side boxed up. Must be something else...

It is something else. As I mentioned, I'm celebrating tonight. I'm celebrating because I have decided to play a bigger part in my vision, I have revised and reviewed, identified a gap and taken steps to place us in a good position to take advantage of it. I've put in the time, consistently, and just kept chipping away. Rolling with the punches, leaping over the hurdles, overcoming disappointment. Regrouping, strategizing and re-strategizing but never giving up! Realising that there is no grand reveal, no overnight success, that the ducks are very seldom in a row and that sometimes you just have to go with what you have got and make the best of it.

So that's what I have done.

We went live yesterday and the feedback so far has been fantastic!
