As you may know, I got a wonderful surprise last week when I found out that Inc. Magazine has recognized ClientAttraction.com as one of its fastest growing private companies in America for 2011, with a 543% growth in 3 years. I can’t even begin to explain how humbled I felt by this honor. There’s more I want to share of course, so I recorded this special thank you video for you. Please take a moment to watch it so I can thank you personally for being a part of this honor and so that I can share with you my 5 strategies for growth in today’s economy (sorry about the tears at the end, I hadn’t planned on that…) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the congratulatory messages, cards, flowers and gifts that I’ve received. I’m so grateful to have you in my life and your words mean so much to me.

As my oh-so-sweet and relaxing month off (to rest and re-charge) comes to a close, I’ve had some true quality time to really reflect back on the journey of how I got where I am today. It felt soooo good and it made me realize that we all probably don’t take enough time out to stop and truly savor and appreciate the journey. If you’re like me, you’re always looking forward to what’s coming next-and that’s great-but once in awhile remind yourself of all that you’ve accomplished and take a few moments to look back with love, appreciation, understanding and celebration.
