We are down to putting the finishing touches on the website before we go live. The excitement is building as we see our work taking shape and start to transition into the actual operation of the business.
I have learned a lot of lessons since the concept of the site first came to mind. One of the most important has been how critical it is to surround yourself with a great support network and to be very intentional about listening well to what they are telling you. Our site does not look anything like how it started out and it is in large part due to the interaction with the support group. We have asked ourselves several times over the past few months just how we arrived at this point. This is the premise behind the contributors section of our site. Surround yourself with talented people with a desire to serve, set a shared vision and work together to get there. This is exactly the experience that we want to offer our clients.
It is the excitement of watching an idea grow and the anticipation of just what might me waiting around the corner that has kept us plugging away at this site. It really is not the destination but the journey where the growth most occurs. I am sure that once we arrive at a set goal the next thing to do will be to celebrate and then start retooling for what it will take to climb even higher.
Our first goal of developing our business model is almost behind us. Now it is time to provide a fantastic experience for our customers.
