Inspiration always inspires someone else
Being put forward for an industry award by one of your peers just has to rank pretty high on anyone’s list of business achievements.
But to be nominated by the same person two years running and then to win the IFIC Spirit of Inspiration award for ‘Most Inspirational Consultant Running an Image-Related Business’ in October 2009 has made a profound difference to my personal confidence level and to the way in which we now market our business.
Thank you, Debbie Gray, for having the single-minded determination to nominate me not once, but twice. Debbie won the
inaugural IFIC Spirit of Inspiration award for ‘Image Scholar of the Year’ in 2008.
We’ve received congratulations from other business owners, consultants and clients all over the world. One brand-new client took the time to let me know that it was the award that was the final motivation for her to book on a training course with me.
And it seems that my story is now motivating other consultants to want more for themselves. One lady wrote, “This gave me quite a lift and has made me determined to believe in myself and get out there!”
Winning this award has not only been a personal high for me but it’s also bringing us more business AND inspiring other image consultants to achieve more in their own business.
Well done, IFIC. The Spirit of Inspiration awards are clearly working!
