You’ve heard me say it before: I’ve been creating and mastering systems since the 3rd grade. As a systems lover (and professional), it’s always come naturally to me. Examine the parts and pieces, see the holes, rearrange what needs rearranging, and put people in the right seat to fill the holes. Sure, in third grade it was more like figuring out what the secret password was for the new clubhouse my BFF and I just started and then making sure our friends who couldn’t keep a secret didn’t let it get out, but, hey, that required a system!
When I started my biz, I was soooooo worried about people asking me how long I’d been at it. 2 months certainly didn’t sound like a real pro to me. But then it hit me: I’ve been at it since the third grade! Regardless of when I bought my .com and filed my LLC paperwork, my experience in the past directly contributed to what I was doing in the present.
I got really good at talking about how long I’ve been doing what I do. And now I’m sharing those famous responses with you. ‘Cause you’re a pro no matter how long you’ve been doing your thang.
