How Big Was your Last Deposit?

Today I had a very long conversation with one of my best girlies in the whole world.

During our conversation, I took my friend to my new work studio and she happily turned around and told me that I had inspired her.  This took me by surprise because I felt the same way but I don’t think she ever knew it! After she left, I began to reminisce about how I met her.  Our relationship began five years ago when she was a customer at my boutique, and the very first time we met we talked for hours and haven’t stopped talking since then... LOLOL!!

Five years ago our first interaction  happened to come at a time when I had just opened my boutique and it was tough!!! I will never forget the three words that she uttered to me, “don’t give up”! I was speechless, asking myself, How did she know? All I could do is shed tears, but some how I felt the tug to keep trying.

As our sister hood strengthened, a  few years later, she challenged me to go beyond the normal way I did things and try something new.  She invited me to participate in a fashion show amongst some top notch designers.  Nervous, but fearless, I did it! The new way of doing things changed my brand forever. Her subtle nudge forced me to step outside of my comfort zone.

Have you ever met that one someone who said that one thing that changed you whole world?  You never know how much taking the time to encourage someone, can change their whole world.  We have to treat relationships like we do our banking; decrease the amount of withdrawals, and increase the deposits!!
