My wife and I have been running our small construction handyman business for 7 years now, and we've faced our fair share of risks and challenges along the way. But we've always been willing to take calculated risks, knowing that the potential pay-off would be worth it for everyone involved. I had the company on my own for 9 years before, but with her it has been much much better. She is the perfect balance to my crazy.
One of the things that has helped us grow our business is our commitment to delayed gratification. We've never taken money out of the company or lived above our means, we have only taken a modest salary. Instead, we've reinvested every penny back into the business, which has allowed us to scale and grow over time.
Of course, that kind of delayed gratification isn't easy. There have been times when we've had to tighten our belts or sacrifice personal expenses in order to keep the business going. But we've always believed that it was worth it in the long run.
Now, as we look ahead to the next chapter of our business ownership, we're excited about the potential for even greater growth and success. We know that there will be new challenges to face, but we're confident in our ability to weather them.
Our strategy of delayed gratification and smart risk-taking has served us well so far, and we plan to continue that strategy in the years to come. We believe that by staying focused on our long-term goals and continuing to reinvest in our business, we'll be able to achieve even greater success in the future.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of our team. We're incredibly grateful for the talented employees who have helped us grow our business over the years, and we look forward to continuing to work alongside them as we tackle new challenges and pursue new opportunities.
The takeaway is this, running a small business is never easy, but it's also incredibly rewarding. We're proud of what we've accomplished so far, and we're excited to see what the future holds. With our commitment to smart risk-taking, delayed gratification, and unwavering dedication to our business, we're confident that we'll be able to achieve whatever we set our minds to.
