Being still. I know where I am is not my final destination and this current position can be so annoying, draining and underwhelming but I also know there are lessons here I will need for my future

Oh do I feel this!! Do you have a clear picture of your final destination? I found that I was crystal clear on my path up until about 5 years ago, but now I can't see it as clearly now....

Hi Adrienne,
I absolutely do & it is nothing I would have chosen for myself. I have always been clear since high school graduation what my life would be- but wiser females have said to me:
" you want to make God laugh- tell him your plans"

I started a company a few years ago doing website design, maintenance and SEO - I have struggled with finding clients. My ideal client is a small business (1-50 employees) that needs a new website, or needs their current website updated or maintained.

One piece of wisdom that I can offer is to get even more specific about what type of small businesses you help. For example - law firms, accounting businesses, fire alarm industry, etc. Also - I'm not sure what your messaging is, but it would be important for you to be able to articulate how having a website updated will bring your clients more business. You need to understand their challenges deeply in order to satisfy their needs. Hope that helps.

Raising funding for a super cool modular smart phone platform that can be brought to market quickly for a at home covid 19 test and then applied to other infectious and chronic diseases
