17 years as a small business owner

Has it been challenging? Yes.

Have I doubted myself along the way? More times than I should have.

Have I been fortunate to help so many incredible small business owners? Absolutely.

Have I been blessed to work with so many talented people over the years? Definitely.

All the businesses

At this moment, I’m astounded at the many types of businesses we’ve helped … from attorneys to veterinarians and just about everything in between! It’s been our honor to support so many incredible nonprofits and community organizations too.

Overflowing gratitude

These 17 years have been a masterclass in being a small business owner, creativity, resilience, discipline, and the art of flexibility. I want to pause and appreciate all of it.

But above all, it’s about gratitude.

  • To our clients who put their trust in us and keep coming back: thank you.
  • To everyone who has ever referred us: thank you.
  • To my team … from the early days all the way through today: thank you.

What a ride it’s been!
