I was employed by Millennium Hotels from 1998-2003.\u00a0 I was employed by Kimpton Hotels from 2003-2007.\u00a0 How is it that in a blink of an eye, I’ve now been self employed longer than either of my previous tenures.\u00a0 On April Fool’s Day 2007 I began a venture which has now brought me seven years of continuous joy.\u00a0 Hotel Lobbyists is seven years old this month!<\/p>\n
I set out to start my own business because I had the idea that I could better serve my then existing clientele by being independent and not tied to any one brand in any one city.\u00a0 That idea has served me well and is still the driving force behind my business plan today.\u00a0 I still work with a great number of clients I’d worked with from day zero.\u00a0 And the portfolio has expanded through wonderful referrals and a lot of hard work uncovering opportunities on my own.\u00a0 The part that was established was that I could sell hotels – I had already been doing it for nearly a decade.\u00a0 The part which was lesser known was whether I could run my own business.\u00a0 I imagine that a lot of folks venture out because they have a superior skill only to find out that running a business isn’t their forte.\u00a0 As it turns out, I’m still enamored by every aspect, big or small, about running my own business.\u00a0 It doesn’t hold me back – it drives me.\u00a0 I consider it the reason my business is still growing, now in its eighth year.<\/p>\n
There are too many to list to thank in this seven year journey.\u00a0 You know who you are.\u00a0 Looking forward to the blog entry seven years from now – or whatever blogs will be in the year 2021!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
