2009 was a bad year for the US economy, everyone knows that, we were in the middle of a major recession. Not the best time to launch your own business, especially in a city that had been hit extremely hard with sky-rocketing unemployment rates, some of the worst foreclosures rates in the country and a dwindling economy. “If you always do, what you’ve always done, you will always get, what you’ve always got.” Anthony RobbinsWe faced a lot of scepticism from others: How are you going to get business from companies, if they’re struggling themselves? They won’t be able to afford a consultant, even if they need your services. You’re going to go under just like the other small companies out there.

Fast-forward a year: We’re still here. We didn’t go under. We found clients. And we keep getting more. We have some extremely talented and inspiring people working for us. Yes, we made mistakes and had setbacks. But we kept our positive attitude: We learnt from our mistakes, recovered from the setbacks and took constructive criticism to heart. It was well worth it. A year later we have a profitable company and happy, successful clients to prove it.
