This spring I celebrate the 20th anniversary of By the Sea Communications, LLC. Does that make me proud? Absolutely.
As anyone who has run their own business knows, it is all on you. No safety nets. I have paid every single bill myself since day one, both for the company and my personal life.
When I started the firm, I thought it might be just a placeholder until I found an executive role at another major PR or marketing agency, or internally at some big corporation. But being one’s own boss is extremely addicting. So is selecting the categories of clients you prefer to work with and what kind of client personalities you gravitate to.
In future posts, I’ll share additional thoughts about all this. Suffice it to say, most of my work has come from past or current clients. I could create a huge web of where they all came from and why. Thank you for all the referrals!
And thank you to every single one of you who have been a part of my journey. I am so grateful to you.

I often first post to LinkedIn and then add it to the blog on my website. Follow me on LinkedIn.
