Here is a short video from when Dr Marc Dussault and Monica paid me a surprise visit during the development stage of the new Eskae Jewellery Studio.
Marc Dussault really hits the nail on the head when he is talking about the dream becoming a reality. This business, this premises has been in my head for what feels like an eternity now…
Now it is a reality!
The Eskae Jeweller Studio started out as an empty shell of a unit, I remember spending hours on end with my wife Sharisse and a piece of graph paper drawing the layout to scale, and as you can see, although it is a video taken about half way through the build, you can see it was really starting to take shape.
Going through this process has been an incredible journey. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is considering taking the leap into their own business -
- it is draining
- it is taxing
- it consumes more time than you think it will
- it does everything that everyone has every told you it will…
BUT……..
There is one thing to remember – that is – at the end of the day, this business is mine (or yours!) and it is worth every second of grief and trying that you go through to get it to this point in time. I take 10 seconds at the end of everyday when I am locking up to just take a look at my place and feel the gratitude that I have had fantastic people around me to help with this at every stage.
My beautiful wife has been there every step of the way taking care of everything else so I could focus on getting the Eskae Jewellery Studio up and ready, my parents for believing in my vision and dream of running and owning my own business, and for keeping me in check when things could have gotten out of hand, my in-laws for the same.
There is one special mention too, a very BIG thank you to Marc Dussault and his Platinum Program for helping me create a business that was ready to move out of my garage at home and into its own CBD premises, words dont really do justice to the amount of help you and Exponential Programs have been to me…
