On June 1st, 2012, All Inclusive Marketing will be celebrating our three year anniversary. It's been an incredible journey and I wanted to share a few thoughts and thanks to some people who've made a difference to me along the way. I'd be lying to say it was easy. On the contrary - it was a huge challenge. I shed many tears, lost a lot of sleep, sacrificed time with my children and made many mistakes.
During the past three years, I had two babies, survived a recession, met some amazing people and finally found my footing in what my contribution to this industry can be. I know I have made some errors, especially with some relationships with people I deeply admire and respect, and will work to rebuild those relationships because they matter deeply to me.
But despite a few set backs, we've had incredible successes and I'm excited about the future. I love this industry and the people in it. I love that we can work from home, anywhere in the world. I love that families - husband and wife, father and daughter, mother and daughter, father and son, brothers and so on - can work together in something unique and rewarding. I love that strangers help each other. That competitors are considered respected colleagues. And that ultimately we are all fighting and working towards the same thing - freedom and the appreciation of life in one way or another.
I want to give a huge shout out to a few people who have helped me in one way or another over the last three years, whether you know it or not. Your kindness, generosity and compassion have made all the difference in the world to me, and I'm extremely grateful.
A big THANK YOU to the following people for helping me (whether in a big way or small way) learn who I want to be (and don't want to be), what I can do, and where I want to go in this industry. I sincerely appreciate the passion you put into what you do which inspires me everyday.
