19 years self-employed this week.
Honestly, I’m not feeling quite as celebratory about it as I thought I might. I’m a little tired, a little deflated, and perhaps just in need of a reminder of how far I’ve actually come.
Because 19 years is a long time.
19 years of taking the risks, riding the highs, weathering the lows, learning, adapting, starting again and keeping going.
So I’m going to give myself a little pat on the back today. Not because everything is perfect, but because I’m still here.
19 years. That’s something. Cheers 🥂
