Reflecting on a Year at Rizzle June quietly marked my first anniversary at Rizzle [a bit belated in sharing this], a milestone that snuck up on me faster than anticipated. While it's a cliché to say time flies, this occasion sparked a period of reflection. Initially, it led me down the path of setting new goals for the year ahead. However, I paused to consider - is a constant focus on achievement the best measure of progress? Rizzle holds a special place in my career journey. It's where I transitioned into my first full-time role, a baptism by fire that equipped me with invaluable lessons. Looking back, I liken my entry to Rizzle to a wide-eyed puppy, eager to learn and contribute but undoubtedly lacking experience. Joining Rizzle as my first full-time role offered lessons I never anticipated. I felt like a novice navigating a complex world, but looking back, I see two main areas of growth: 1.⁠ ⁠Personal Growth: Personal growth came from many lessons, the most important of which was understanding priorities rather than balancing them. Admittedly, this came with a learning curve (remember the puppy analogy?).   I discovered that tackling ten daily tasks might seem productive, but it sacrifices work-life balance. Spreading out the work allowed me to appreciate my role not only as an employee but also as someone who values family, friends, and other aspects of life. 2.⁠ ⁠Career Growth: Professionally, my role has evolved beyond completing tasks efficiently. While I've always taken pride in delivering high-quality work on time, my focus has expanded to include team functionality. I’ve learned the value of team dynamics and the importance of contributing to the team's overall effectiveness. Transitioning to more supervisory responsibilities, I’ve embraced the role of guiding and motivating my colleagues. Ensuring the quality of our collective work and fostering a positive team environment has been a challenging but rewarding transition. These lessons resonate with many of us, marking shared experiences in professional growth. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities Rizzle has provided, and I look forward to continuing this journey of progress and learning. These and many other valuable lessons will forever be etched in my memory as the foundation of my first year at Rizzle. #CareerMilestones --- Feel free to connect or share your own experiences and milestones!

CEOs, executives and business leaders, take note. Tell your employees’ stories. Celebrate them for who they are. It might be the best way to build trust and loyalty of your employees. And your customers. And it’s just a good thing to do.

Timing.... This week I left the security of working full time for a good company to jump headfirst into launching a somewhat complex business model for a startup (a business portfolio builder with an economic / human development social vision). Given approximately 70+% of startups fail within the first five years, trying to start more than one simultaneously, as the sole founder, is near the crazy mark. The economic and human development slant for my parent company is focused on small-urban and rural areas. Around two years ago, while investigating startup/business ecosystems in small-urban and rural areas in Eastern Idaho (Rexburg, Idaho Falls, Pocatello), I discovered Rob Poleki 🚽 and his innovative ideas in a very old marketplace--toilets. The growth of his company and story has been an inspiration to me for many reasons, with a few mentioned below. I find it double inspirational that I jump headfirst into starting my business fulltime when he celebrates his five-year anniversary of doing the same thing many moons ago. 1 Extremely hard work ethic. I saw many of Rob's posts in the wee hours of the night and morning installing new toilet seats. 2 Humor and working with a smile. This a bonus to number one as Rob, and his business partners, are always smiling while down in the trenches grinding away. 3 Innovative opportunities are everywhere. Rob shows there are innovative ideas outside of the typical technology popularity contest. Congratulations Rob! Not only have you beaten the statistic of startup failures, but I also know it's only the beginning because you "can't stop, won't stop". #startupsuccess #startupsupport
