Hope is often times the ONLY strategy when working on a project that has its ups and downs, as all projects do.  As a project manager, hope was sometimes what we would hang our hats on as we jumped in with sleeves rolled up to bring in a project on a tight deadline, and little sleep.

As a business owner, I know that without hope, I would not continue to put myself forth in growing my fledgling business as a coach.  It is often a major amount of work, with little immediate return.  My only "hope" is that I am building a following that may someday need my services, and will remember my name as a kind, respectful, thoughtful and collaborative coach.

Meanwhile, I hope that those same character traits give some peace, serenity, and yes, hope, to those I touch.

Great post - and reminds us all that hope is not lost!

Warmly,

Georgia
