My journey from a hospital bed to founding my new business in two years…

Two years ago I was recovering from major surgery in hospital. I thought I’d never get back to work again — let alone run my own business. How wrong I was.

Today I reflect on the four months I was incapacitated as a blessing. I was able to pause and ponder my life. Most importantly I learnt how to slow things right down.

That experience reshaped my life, and likewise many others since. I prioritise the important people in my life and my aims and objectives. I’m more conscious about how I treat myself and others, take physical exercise — and listen more. I like to try new sports and challenges, and take time out of my day to meditate. Even more importantly I love and accept people and things just as they are. Truly a blessing.

Sometimes life throws something at you that might seem like a real raw deal.

A bad situation and being forced into taking some time out can be really good for us. Even if it does not seem so at the time. I belive in trying to turn every situation into a postive and this is just one of those times.

So two years on I’m very excited to launch Citrus Ornge Media — Custom Lead Generation. Our specialist area is acquiring new customers for our clients with a wide array of digital marketing tactics to drive new business for customers, and all things digital
