This week I was able to try my hand at elevator pitches! I recorded more than I can count (mostly due
to Jasper’s ‘help’). But writing and
delivering elevator pitches helped me to clearly identify who my target market
is, what makes my services different from my competition, and how I plan on
being successful.
Furthermore, I have recruited a sweet baby to join my daycare
3-4 days a week! I’m friends with her
mom, so I didn’t want to charge her my planned price, but I will still bring in
some revenues anyway. Jasper loves this
baby – she tries to take care of her, covers her with blankies, feeds her
bottles, gives her pacifiers, shows her toys, and talks to her. It’s so fun to watch them interact. They are almost exactly a year apart, so
Jasper is gaining some valuable “big sister” experience!
I also learned about
Phil Romano, an incredible artist and entrepreneur. I absolutely love his
creativity, enthusiasm, and passion (and Macaroni Grill!) – he incorporates these things into so many
parts of his life. He shows a focus on serving and helping others while
success is simply a result of doing so. I love that he doesn’t stick with
just one thing for a long time – he moves forward and creates something
new. I can definitely relate to that mentality – I find myself feeling
bored or claustrophobic when I am doing the same thing for too long. I
need to always be experiencing different things or trying something new.
I feel like life has so much to offer, but we must be willing to accept the
different opportunities we have rather than remaining content within one
opportunity. Sometimes I feel limited in my opportunities or what I can
pursue since I am married and have a baby to take care of, but Romano helped me
feel more able to do what I want to do – life a life full of new experiences
and following my passions in life – even with a family.
