Happy Birthday Samual and David!
Step aside Veteran’s Day (no offense to the men and women who have and are serving bravely in our military). We’ve got some celebrating to do here ! Next Wednesday, November 11, is Samuel and David’s first birthday. Yes, the twins are about to turn one year old. Wow. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS!. And congratulations Mark and Holly for making it through this first year better than in one piece!
Babies, businesses. Mark’s been comparing them regularly as his life is drenched in both these days. However well-worn growing up human is a great analogy for accepting the exciting chaos that comes with beginnings and growing a business. Here’s to relishing the unknown, the overwhelming, the adventure, and the messiness of new businesses. Here’s to resting into the more known, the calculated adventures, and the anticipated messiness of a business that’s made it through the sleeping, drinking, pooping only and constantly stage to the chewing, crawling, walking, and handling things with confidence stage. Where are you in the cycles of business birthday celebrations?
