Today my day started of with chaos, and I found myself thinking that I wouldn't make it through the day, I snapped at a member of our team and I suppose had a slight panic attack of what is coming our way.
Once I had managed to sort myself out and calm down I realised it wasn't as hectic as I thought. I realised how amazing it is that already we are so busy, yes were not making the money we need yet to be sustainable but every month its just getting better and better.
Driving by from Johannesburg today, the stand designer phoned to give me a final budget, only double what he had initially quoted us, have you ever had that feeling when you are going to jump of the cliff, you know the rope is going to hold you, but the fear inside you overwhelms you, well that's how I felt.
So I slowed my thinking down looking at all the positives and negatives and realised that the only negatives were based on our present cash flow, the positives are that the market place will recognise us as the professional business we want to be known as - so it was agreed to do, must admit did need to bounce this one of my partners both of them - God and Gordon. Just need to get his message first though before I picked up the phone to call Gordon - yes he gave me the message as soon as I spoke to people around me.
So yes the rope saved me when I jumped of the cliff today, it will be an amazing success in more ways than my wildest dreams can imagine.
So before saying goodnight, Tangerine Marketing is in the Star newspaper tomorrow, reporter interviewed me over the phone, I am feeling a bit insecure of how I came across I just get so passionate about what I am doing and why.
