Reflection is very important, most days we are so goal oriented that we don’t slow down to appreciate the struggles and successes. Before I started Impact Machine, my life was good. But for two years before I took a leap, I had a voice in my head saying “more”. Now at 38 yrs old I thought more was more (money, more stuff, more control etc). But God wasn’t asking what I wanted he was asking for more of me. I didn’t realize that until the first year on this adventure. Image at 40yrs old finally figuring out what that little voice meant. I took on jobs I didn’t know if I could do them or not, I cut every slide I could (even some no one else was touching) just to keep the lights on. Never wanting my family to suffer for my wild ideas about a machining business. But.. to be almost 6 yrs in and this week get mentioned in two well known publications, .digest and it’s surreal to reflect on the journey. Met who has become a brother to me and who I consider family now. If it was to end tomorrow, I would be thankful for everything and everyone who has been supportive, heck even the ones who don’t like me because it’s made me into a much better person. So I say all that to say maybe that voice telling you to do “more” isn’t what you think it is. Be bold and chase your dream. No one else will do it for you. God Bless
