I have a friend who owns her own business and knew she would do exactly this at six years of age. She’s pretty modest and when I talked to her about her success, she said “I guess I just don’t see things the way you do.” I get this a lot when I talk to people about their dreams. When I look at her - I see a creative person who has a found a way to balance a job she loves and the needs of her family. She sets her own schedule so she doesn’t miss assemblies and school parties - and she makes people feel good when they leave her salon. Amazingly, she has held on to the dream of owning her own salon from the time she was six years old and got her first haircut at a prestigious beauty school. She even stood up to people who loved her but were worried for her future. She kept believing. So, Joni, no matter how you see it – you inspire me!
