Enjoy the Journey

“Where do you see yourself in five years?”

Does anyone else feel as vexed as I do when asked that question? Well, maybe you love answering that question, maybe you’ve got a spreadsheet and graphs and a slick powerpoint presentation to go along with your answer.

I don’t.

I was asked a similar question about Jaisy Communications the other day and it gave me pause. Yes, I have a strategic plan for this company, yes I have goals and dreams, BUT what’s different now that I’m a business owner, is that I’m choosing to enjoy the journey.

I’m choosing to enjoy the creative process that comes from collaborating with my clients. I’m choosing to enjoy the struggles that go along with a growing business. I’m choosing to enjoy the meticulous planning that goes into each and every project with my clients, the hours of writing and strategizing and everything in between.

In a world made up of benchmarks and measurements and accolades as to who finishes first, it feels pretty nice to enjoy the journey with my clients and this business.

So whatever journey you may be on at the moment, I hope you’re enjoying it (at least a little bit), why not? 

Being of Service

Being of Service

by | Aug 6, 2019 | Uncategorized

I was asked the other day what my favorite job was. It took me a good minute to respond as I’ve been blessed with some pretty amazing jobs in my life. But the one that came immediately to mind was when I worked in Community Relations & Public Affairs for CU-Boulder and the City of Boulder. 

Why? Because it allowed me to Be of Service every day. Whether Being of Service was putting together programs for those less fortunate, or sharing the stories of incredible people doing incredible work. There was a need for good news, and I was able to help create those stories. *

On a recent trip to Colombia, we participated in an indigenous ceremony. We were asked to let go of the negativity in our lives and set one intention for the future. My intention was to Be of Service.

Is there someone in your life who needs some support? Be of Service by being a friend. Is there someone in your life who has wronged you? Be of Service by showing them what integrity looks like. Perhaps you’re feeling a bit down and out, Be of Service to yourself by listing two things you’re most grateful for. Or maybe your business is thriving but you need an extra shot in the arm, pull your team together to Be of Service to your community.

It works in almost any situation! Why? Well, for me, it gets me out of my own head at least for a little while and allows me to think of others.

So, here’s wishing you a great day, week, (or even year!) of Being of Service!
