As I type this it is 1:48am on a Sunday night (scratch that it's Monday now). I should be sleep right now or ... at least I think I should be sleep. The thing is I can't sleep. Know why? Because I love business and more importantly I love my business. I love the people I meet, the places I go and the problems my business helps solve in customers life. I love it all!
Tomorrow I have meetings with 3, count that 3 restaurants. And not just any restaurant but, restaurants that can take U Gotta Eat to a new plateau as far as notoriety and span of services. I'm excited, and I should be. Thing is when you're a small business owner you can't shut it off. You can't shut off being a small business owner and thinking about business (more importantly your business) 24/7. Which is why I couldn't sleep, I'm too pumped full of "business" adrenaline to sleep!
I wanted to go to sleep, I really did but, I kept thinking about my presentation, talking points, hiring staff, possibilities, partnerships, the future! This is why I love what I do. It's never boring and each day (some more than others) I have trouble sleeping because, like Christmas Eve as a kid, I'm so anxious over the possibilities of the day ahead. What crazy surprises will life throw my way today?
In my head the world looks vastly different from what it is today. It's better. And I'm a part of that better through the work I do with a company I started to solve a simple problem. A solution to lack of time. A solution to lack of mobility. A solution to lack of...
I did this or rather I'm doing this all from an idea that popped into my head. An idea. Something that we all have, an idea. And because of this idea I will be able to help others, near and far. Because of this idea I will be able to provide someone the means to put food on the table for their family by working for my company. Because of this idea I will be the one to solve the economic crisis. But alone? No. With a team
And I just wanted to share my thoughts with you, because when you find true happiness you want to share it with others so they can experience the joy you have found. I have found that joy and purpose of my life through my work serving others. Working toward something that's larger than myself with people I enjoy spending time with. Being the dreamer who questions the present and asks, "Just what if..."
