Entrepreneur Success is Crooked

January 24, 2017 by rachel

When you start a business, you are suddenly reliant on no one but yourself. This may be the first time in your life that your are faced with this challenge. It is widely said that there is no better personal development tool than starting your own business. Owning your own business will bring up all of your issues and crap. It will different for each of us—money issues, self-worth issues, not feeling like you are good enough, fear of criticism, etc. It may feel like you are going through a disaster; however, there is often a door opening for you to the place you really need to be.

The road to entrepreneur success is a continual journey. Some people mistakenly think that success is a destination. No, that journey just keeps changing and you must step out in faith…one step at a time. One day you will turn around and find that you are literally in a completely different place. Your awareness shifts and you see other things differently.

Many entrepreneur’s become terrified when things don’t go as they expected because we grow up thinking that everything is done step by step in a straight line. But entrepreneur success is never a straight line. It is bumping around, flipping over and loop-de-loops and you just have to realize that this is the norm. So remember that entrepreneur success will come in a series of zig zags–never a straight line. Following this crooked road is an exciting adventure that I will never regret taking.

I am on my second time working with Rachel over the past three years. I am always singing her praises regarding her commitment, patience and passion for accelerating your business! My wife and I hired her as a business coach and now we are working with her to re-brand our family business. We wanted a look that reflected its long history and Rachel has hit the nail on the head with creating a fresh look--all the while keeping with the simple, masculine industrial factory feel that we want. We are beyond thrilled with our results.

Before working with Rachel & Co, I was faced with the challenge of creating a website for my business and was stressed out over it. I had no idea where to start, but I needed it fast. Within a week after contacting them, I had a very professional-looking, functional website that is designed to my current specifications. Rachel is not only creative, but very helpful as well. Rachel helped to pin-point areas of improvement and offered advice on setting things up to be optimized more effectively so I understood how to take them and run on my own. For anyone looking to start your own blog or revamp one that you currently have, I can’t recommend her enough!
