Hola Preston, it’s me again I agree with Heather; I can relate to number 8, being different or “unique.” Coco Chanel; my other Guru apart from you; once stated the same….

I needed to read this today, thank you for sharing! I think #8 resonates with me the most. Being “the best” sounds like you’re just competing in a category of like designs; being different will set you apart. I find that inspiring.

I most relate to number four. The more I focus on serving my clients the richer their experience becomes. The funny thing is the better I serve them, the more ideas I garner from them. Part of serving them well, is really listening to what they have to say. When I do, without fail, they give me simple ideas that when implemented, make a world of difference to my next client.

This is what I needed!! I was just questioning what I wanted to do with my life a degree in interior design sitting on my counter and I’m not using it and I dont want to continue to let it waste away! You have given me the push I needed to take the next step in my life. Thank you!

I can relate to them all in some way or another, but #9 is the biggest for me…Fear of failure kept me from owning my own shop for 20 years….Fear of failure kept me from going for my AIFD certification until this year…Fear is a huge factor in why I do not go after things that I want and I am making strides to finally change that. Over the last five years, I have opened my own flower shop, had Gastric Bypass surgery and lost 210 lbs, have forced myself to go after business that I didn’t think I would ever get, have hunkered down and made decisions that were scary to me and learned from the outcome whether good or bad, and have gone ahead and started the process of getting my AIFD certification, I test this week in Boston. Preston, you are one of my favorite celebrity florists, I don’t necessarily want a business like yours, but you make me aspire to be a better florist everyday…not the best just better than the day before everyday..I love your articles they are very motivating. Thank you, Lori
