Interview Angel is the first business I’ve had the courage to take from idea to market.

Lately, I’ve been questioning whether I would start up the company all over again if given the choice.

It’s been more difficult (and expensive) than I ever imagined.

Significance, not success has been my motivation.

I know we’ve all taken risks with our respective careers.

At what point do we walk away?

What is it that keeps us going?

Perhaps it is hope.

Last week when I desperately needed something to pick me up, two messages were delivered.

The first message was a small poster laying on a chair at the gym.

It simply read:

Hope Sweet Hope.

(It is pictured above)

The second message was received from a customer in Michigan.

The email read:

Pay Attention to the Messages

Hope Sweet Hope.

Your thoughts? What also brings you hope?

Thanks for sharing.
