Wowza!! I had a memory pop up on my personal account, from five years ago. Walking one of my very first doggo clients, Zoey. Back when this was a side hustle.
Made me stop and reflect. What a journey this job has been. Started as a side hustle, and right after those photos were taken, five years ago, I started getting more and more clients. Then enough to quit my other job. Before I knew it, I began the journey of the best job ever. Full time!!? Who knew you pay your rent hanging out with sweet tiny souls everyday. I'm so extremely grateful for this adventure I pursued.
Then to build for four years, and have most of it ripped away when I tore my acl. I was devestated. Beside myself. I couldn't walk for five months. I cried on my couch daily.
I so clearly remember having conversations with my dad, who is self employed as well, saying "I'm not ready to quit this. It's fu***ng bleak right now, but I just need a clear sign to quit. I have a vision, I'm not ready to throw in the towel. When I can walk again, if I can't get it back in six months, I'll reconsider. Trust me."
And I rebuilt better than before. I had so much help during that time, my mother Brenda King assisted in keeping things afloat. I can't thank her enough.
I went back to work with my full leg brace and one crutch. Say what you will about me, but I don't quit. 😅
And here I am, still hustling and still building. I'm eternally grateful for all my wonderful clients and everyone who has helped my vision along the way.
I love you all and thank you so much for helping my business thrive and my dreams come true. I have lots of goals to still meet, but I try to stay confident. ♥️
