Uplifting Motivation

Busy, busy, busy! My brain was racing today trying to remember all the things I had forgotten to do while I was preparing 3 outgoing orders, testing the accuracy of the skus for our new line that we had just entered into Quickbooks and following up with active sales reps during this very hectic beginning to the back-to-school buying season - all while listening for a call from my parents who were visiting with my son at sleep-away camp.

I was just starting to mentally beat myself up for only crossing off the first 2 items on my "While My Kids Are Away At Camp Summer To Do List" (given that they come home in 2 weeks!) when the office phone rang and it was an unsolicited call from a store in South Jersey that had seen some LikeWear stuff and loved it! They had already checked out our website and seemed ready to place an order. Talk about uplifting motivation!

Today's experience reminded me of a quote that I read a year and a half ago that has stuck with me and I think of VERY often. It is from the book entitled 'Mommy Millionaire' by Kim Lavine:

Here's an unspoken rule of business that only seasoned entrepreneurs know: Just when you think you're licked, something comes along to pick you up and inspire you with a whole new sense of purpose.
