As the Year Ends, Reflections Begin As we start to close out the year, I find myself reflecting on an incredible 5-month journey working in the start-up world. It’s been a whirlwind of new challenges, exciting growth, and invaluable lessons that I believe can resonate beyond start-ups and into larger organizations. Just a few of the insights I’ve gained: Agility vs Haste: Being agile means making informed, quick decisions to adapt to changing circumstances - not rushing without thought. Embrace Failure: Failure isn’t the end; it’s how we learn and grow. Get Comfortable with Discomfort: Growth often lies just outside your comfort zone. Calculated Risks Drive Growth: Playing it safe rarely leads to significant progress. Speak Up: Even if you’re the lone dissenting voice, having an opinion and sharing it matters. Patience Pays Off: That lucky break will come - it’s about staying consistent. Faith is Crucial: Progress isn’t always linear, but trust that your efforts will lead to results. At Rapid-res, these lessons have been particularly meaningful. As a small, passionate team, we’re learning to adapt quickly, support decisions even in uncertainty, and take bold steps forward. This year, we’ve achieved incredible milestones - welcoming fantastic brands, connecting with inspiring individuals, and laying a strong foundation for the future. Looking ahead, I’m thrilled to see how far we can take this business I’ve grown to love. I’m ready for more challenges, more growth, and watching Rapid-res continue to soar. To all my food-loving friends: watch this space and, of course, get booking through Rapid-res (no apologies for the shameless plug!). Cheers to an exciting year ahead! 🎉
