Busy Week
Posted by Jamie Hutson | Filed under Life
This has been one heck of a busy week.
Since our new site design has gone live we have doubled our traffic and doubled the interest in our services. This is creating quite alot for me to do, being as there are only 2 of us left in our company. We do the work of about 8 or 9 people, which is fun.
I took a quick break on Sunday and shot up to Hunter Mountain with my friend Mark and my brother. It was a beautiful day; sunny, warm, and the snow was awesome. We beat the mountain up pretty good. Sunday put me in a great mood for the week, which I knew was going to be very busy.
So far this week I have been completely crazy meeting people, updating our sites interface, and trying to keep the rest of my life together. Which has not been easy these days, we just gave a job offer to someone, who accepted the offer, then following a brief of her first day, rescinded her acceptance. Perfect!
I’m going a little crazy these days, my life as an entrepreneur has taken me to the limits of my stress levels, and only now, after 3 months of high tension and near death panic, I can finally feel it relieving. Pheww…
I’m going to the gym, maybe I won’t come back.
Be Happy In Your Grass
Posted by Jamie Hutson | Filed under Life
Many times I find myself looking into other people’s lives and wondering what it would be like in their shoes. I have a habit of jealousy towards others, whether it be their shoes, their car, their website design or layout, among a host of other things. One thing I’ve taught myself is that you have to be happy in your own grass - happy with yourself.
While this can apply to every aspect of your life, the one in which I have been applying this of late is my career. More specifically the direction my company has taken. While building and designing the product I deliver, my deepest ideas have never evolved into something tangible. However, I have always managed to do the best I can with my given resources.
Here is where this comes into play for me. Often I find myself in the face of larger, established competition, and its very easy to say “if I had their resources…” but the thing that keeps me going strong is that I do not have their resources. In fact I don’t have anyone’s resources but my own, but I still manage to out fox them.
While the grass on the other side of that fence may look greener, softer, more lucrative, whatever - you never know what goes on to make it. If you’re not happy with your grass you can always, trim it, nurture it, feed it or tear it out an make a garden. As long as its your grass and you’re doing the best you can with it, you should always be happy in it.
