hey it's patti scharf CPA and co-founder of catching clouds the leader in
e-commerce accounting and today is another Saturday slowed down I like to
take Saturday's as a time to remind everyone to work on their business and
not just in their business
today I want to talk about the entrepreneurs journey so I was talking
into some peers of mine and we were all kind of comparing our businesses and
where we are and kind of what we're focused on and things like that and some
of some of the other peers you know they've got 700 clients or 250 clients
like we have less than 50 now the clients that we have are fairly big and
I was thinking back to back when I bought this tax practice I want to say
11 years ago or so and it was horrible that is another story for another time
but we had I think five times so many clients as caching clouds has now but we
had like I want to say a fifth of the revenue and like I I wasn't even making
enough to take home a salary or anything like that so you can't really tell
anything from the outside looking in about somebody else's journey and
something else I wanna share with you so I just started doing the couch to 5k
plan if you don't know what that is it's basically anybody who wants to start
running who is a non runner so you it's like a walking running pattern thing
that you do on a continuous basis well I just finished week five day three which
is 20 minutes of running straight and while I'm out there and I'm jogging
along and I'm like just about to the end of my run and I'm like high-fiving
myself or how great I'm doing like somebody comes up beside me like just
runs right past me perfect form got those shoes that are like you know
separated toes and stuff like fancy schmancy like barefoot running kind of
shoes and just flies by me like I'm just standing still and I'm like you know
this is a lot like having a business like when you have a business you're
really competing with yourself you really should not be competing with
other people or even comparing yourself to other people because everybody has
their own journey and that business that I had bought earlier the one that was
just this dismal failure I I see it as probably one of the best things that
ever happened to me even though it was a huge failure
because so many great things came out of it one of my biggest lessons was that
working harder does not necessarily end in success I was always taught when I
was growing up you can do anything you put your mind to and just you know put
in some more elbow grease and you will succeed and until that point I feel like
I succeeded in almost everything that I had ever attempted and it was really
humbling and it was really it had to it made me shift the way that I saw the
world and it made me appreciate the fact that weekends are here for a reason you
need to slow down and you need to take a break owning a business is a marathon it
is not a sprint and you have to take time to relax and think about other
things and you have to think you have to spend time working strategically on your
business if you don't you're just like throwing young you can so easily get
caught up in doing the same thing over and over and over and not actually
solving what the actual problem is and I guess the last thing I want to say I
just started taking jujitsu a couple of weeks ago and they have this sign on the
wall and it says you either win or you learn and I could not agree with that
more it's every single event of my life is a learning experience I really feel
like owning a business is a constant opportunity to learn and
to grow I don't care how long you've been in business or what different
things you've tried the landscape is always changing and there's always more
to learn there's always a new experience there's always something to be learned
from every person you meet so are there other firms out there who are killing it
more than me of course there are there's always going to be but I can't worry
about that I have to only pay attention to my deal and you know I'm I'm out
there running 20 minutes straight baby and I guess the point is I'm in the game
and everyday I'm either winning or I'm learning so I hope you liked this video
