My Own Molly

Today is the day! Today, I am officially open for business. My website is LIVE and there's no turning back. I am a business owner. I am an entrepreneur. Today makes it real.

Now I know what it means when entrepreneurs tell me their stories of countless restless nights spent working on their websites, finalizing designs, and putting all the polishing touches on a project they've babied for months. 

This is my baby.

A few years ago I was only talking about the idea of starting a business. 

Those who know me best remember the conversations brainstorming about what it could be and how I could conquer the world with this business. Premature? Ha! Perhaps. 

Brilliant minds of our time were once laughed at for their ideas.

You gotta start dreaming big early on ;)

My point is this: I knew there was a need for something I could produce at a fair price. In this case, on-demand Assistant Services. And I knew that by producing this product, I could help people. I could really make a difference in their lives.

Fast forward to August of 2012 and I started giving my ideas more serious consideration.

"What if I could really do this?"

I truly believe that the people you meet in this lifetime are the ones who help mold the person you become. It is ultimately your choice as to how these people affect you for the worse or the better. But everyone is placed in your life for a reason.

For me, a key character in my path to self discovery will always and forever be Ali Brown.

     

Even before I was hired by her, I set an intention that she was exactly the person I wanted to work for at that time. I was coming out a previously very difficult and demanding position, working for an executive that had completely drained my spirit. I needed a sense of renewal. I needed to work for a strong woman doing big things in a big way. I needed to feel empowered by doing my job well. And I needed to know that I was truly valued and appreciated. None fit that description better or made those words more true than Ali.

It is greatly due to her that I begin this voyage (at the same age she started her own company years ago), in the same hopes that I have even a fraction of the same success and happiness that she has acquired in her own entrepreneurial journey.

I've dedicated everything I have to creating a beautiful website. 

The real work begins by building a brand and company I am proud to own. 

Now I am the one who can say I have put in countless hours, numerous restless nights, blood, sweat, tears, fear, anxiety, and sheer exhaustion into this business since the day I decided to dedicate my every effort to making it a success. 
And I'm just getting started!

All of this for the hope that it will be bigger and better than I can imagine...one day.

I can't wait for all that is to come. I welcome the feedback, encouragement, constructive criticism, or whatever chapter comes next.

Because I know that this is MY story. And there's nothing more beautiful than that.
