A new calendar brings with it and inevitably I found myself reflecting on the past year. Lets see I discovered wheelchair fencing, started my cookie business, had some ups and some downs, met some cool people gained a slight bit of fame and found myself enjoying life, all in all a good year! Fencing has helped me find a side of me that I thought I had lost, the business has given me the means to fence and a feeling of self confidence and self worth that i've lacked at times. Oh did I mention that I started a blog where I sometimes share a little too much?
Ok enough of the review onto my new year and my new focus.
I started wheeling chef as a way to earn a little extra cash, and as a way to keep from going crazy without gainful employment. I still need the cash that it brings in, and I still get a bit stir crazy but I'm enjoying the freedom that the business is providing me. To that end I'm determined to grow this experiment of mine into a growing concern, make more connections, add handmade candies to the mix and maybe a few other things, and grow it to the point where I can eventually use the business as a way to provide work experiance and a little extra cash to other disabled individuals, more on that as it develops.
Another thing im going to focus on this year is my fencing and training. Ive been fencing for a year now and with each practice I get better, there have been time when I wonder just what I have gotten myself into with this unknown version of an obscure sport supported by selling cookies. I will keep rolling down this road and this year break the top 15 in mens national rankings and take a top three in a national event.
These goals may be a bit lofty but they are attainable, after all I built a cookie business from a cute hobby to a going concern in just 5 months :)
