Looking back... Last summer in June 2009, Rhythm Spa had Two Full time Staff. Me, Maria Moses, the owner and my then 4 year old daughter 'Hannah Moses' and we...well "I' saw total of 70 clients in total.
1 year later in June 2010, I continue to work as full time staff and 'Hannah' for the first time has full time baby sitter and is back to being kid again and Rhythm Spa has 6 full time staff and 4 part time staff and has served over 500 clients in just the month of June, 2010.
I remember when Hannah was with me full time I would constantly shh.. her and let her entertain herself on the computer she would behave pretty well, cause she knew she had no choice, well one day she found a thin and tall cardboard which was as tall as her. She drew a face, two hands and legs on the full length of the cardboard, she waited patiently for me to finish my client and told "Mom i have a surprise" she showed me the box and said mom now i have a friend. I couldn’t hold it "I wept" as I am typing I can't hold my tears.
But Me, My husband and even Hannah knew this was a part of sacrifice we three had to make to keep the spa going, we couldn't afford a babysitter or Hannah's private school anymore, we sucked it all in and Hannah was with me for more than a year full time at the spa, with no friends and with no freedom of running around and playing.
We have lost few friends and found new ones, I have lost few clients and have found new ones, we have broken few hearts and won many, but all along we kept our Hearts at the right place, Knees close to the ground and just stayed focused.
We wanted to give up with every Sunset and somehow had the strength with every Sunrise. Life is amazing but it is something when you learn how to Amaze life.
Well sometimes we park our cars and dream of getting somewhere, what we don't realize is we need to Fuel up, start the engine and Hit the road just dreaming doesn't help, There is no law of attraction without some action.
If you are running out of the fuel, just refill. There are no excuses in life. What would you do if you ran out of the fuel on a highway in the middle of nowhere? I am sure you will come up with something.. Somehow and I am sure you are not a fool to leave your car on the highway, then why would you leave your Life and Dreams in the middle of nowhere?
If you missed the road will you just keep going? Then when something goes wrong why do we have to keep going the wrong way or give up. Just get back to from where you missed the road and start again.
I remember two years ago we went to Niagara Falls with our friends from Toronto, instead of 1 hour it took us 4 hours.. cause we kept missing the highway, we were little frustrated we thought it will be too late for us go have fun we got there anyways, when we got there we had a blast. Looking back we still talk about the long drive but the fun we had only makes us laugh about the drive.
We are not quite where we want to be in our life, we do run out of fuel (excitement) but we just fuel up. Sometimes our engines give up (Body & Emotions) we talk it out or let it out. But we are thrilled we hit the road.
Rhythm Spa is not perfect but without imperfection we will have nothing to work on, we are more humble & accommodating than ever before.
Good Feedback is encouraging and Bad feedback only makes us Better.
Are you about to give up? Want to start your own business but you are scared cause the numbers don't look right? There are more people in your life who are negative than Positive?
You had to beat over 50 Million sperm cells to come to life, now that you have the Life, why would you stop running the race.
"You were Just Born Winner"
Cheer Up!! and Cheers Someone else up!!
