As I've watched the 2010 Winter Olympics unfold, I've often thought about the time and preparation each participant has committed to in striving for the GOLD, SILVER, or BRONZE medal. Their level of intensity and focus is so strategically lasered on the prize (one of the coveted metals), that their training regimen is more of a lifestyle and hobby and doesn't feel like work, exhaustion, or injuries (what it represents for the rest of us!).
Some Olympians have even performed while injured. Lindsey Vonn, an alpine skier, was the first American Woman to win the Gold in downhill...and she did it with a bruised shin.
What I noticed is that they never took their eye off the prize. Sure they've had moments of defeat or taken horrible falls. Some will even have to wait until the next Olympic season to compete again. But they each had the AUDACITY to "keep it moving"!
You can see the jubilation, success, tears of joy and emotion on the face of each winner! The moment their hard work has finally paid off and the GOLD, SILVER or BRONZE medal has been won!
Reflecting back to when Portable Hands was just a dream in my mind's eye and a burning in my soul, that's exactly what it feels like now...like we've won the Olympic GOLD medal.
We've persevered through a recession the majority of us are still trying to recover from. Sure we've had our set backs but overall we kept our eye on the prize and continued to leverage clients for success by focusing on what really mattered most to them...gaining support in a environment solely focused on their success.
Won't you please join us in celebrating Portable Hands' 5 year anniversary!
