The Boss of You

A friend sent me a link to Summer Pierre’s awesome video announcement of her good news, and it reminded me…

It was Thanksgiving up here in Canada a week or so ago, and I had meant to post something here about gratitude. I’ve been procrastinating because things are very, very busy at our happy little web studio. But I feel compelled to leave a little thank-you note here to each of you.

Thank you for reading our blog. Thank you for buying our book. Thank you to each of you who has given a copy to a friend, recommended it on your blog, or talked it up to your local bookstore. Thank you for sending us words of encouragement when we were writing; for posting kind reviews on Amazon; for emailing us to tell us that you liked the bit about defining success for yourself, or the chapter on networking.

Thank you to each one of you. Each one of you was a muse of sorts to us; we wrote with you in mind, and you kept us going when we were on the verge of losing faith in what has turned out to be the longest single project we’ve ever tackled together (excepting of course the above-mentioned web studio, and our friendship). It has been enormously wonderful — a genuine dream come true — to find that you really do exist, that our belief that there were other entrepreneurs like us in the world was well-founded, and that we could contribute something, small though it may be, to the community that has inspired us and given us so much.

Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Love,
Lauren
