Half a decade- Wow & Phew!
My husband and I chose 27 September as the date of birth for our younger son because our elder one is 27 November, little did we know the third one will also be born on the same day.
I remember walking into labor, checking my email for the last time as I thought to myself, the next couple of days will be hectic. The MCA alert popped up and we got our Certificate of Incorporation. Rest as they say is history.
The last 5 years have changed my core as a being, embracing motherhood for the second time and starting a business within two months was tough.
Here are my top 5 learnings-
1. You will not always have clarity of thought or things planned till the "T," but that shouldn’t stop you from starting. But you should know when to stop or Pivot.
2. Develop financial discipline early on, we expanded rapidly and had to face some impact this year.
3. One can never really achieve work-life balance, instead, keep your priorities clear.
4. Nothing worthwhile is built without missing something worthwhile, you will end up missing some birthday parties and some evening drinks with colleagues. Try to stay away from FOMO.
5. Work on self-awareness, being your biggest cheerleader is important however; being self-critical is equally important. Remember if you want to see the picture when you're inside the frame, being mindful matters.
We are building the plane while flying it, we have some appetitive for innovation and failure but we have tons of passion and endurance. Sometimes we get tired of our own resilience, but we know Rome was not built in a day.
My heartfelt gratitude to all our Customers, Candidates, and Suppliers for trusting us and being patient with us. Most importantly allowing a young company to make it big.
This wouldn't have happened without my super awesome Humans at Work, everyone who was associated with us, or still is, has made a tremendous difference in our lives for which I will be eternally grateful.
Cheers to the next 5! Our best is yet to come.
