If you’ve ever applied to countless companies or had dozens of interviews – without an offer – you know how frustrating it can be. However, when you are finally hired for a job that’s a perfect fit for you, none of that matters anymore. In fact, you may be grateful for all the positions you DIDN’T get.
This sums up exactly how I feel about 6Degrees2Oprah. We came close so many times: speaking with producers, meeting other decision makers, and even getting tickets (during the blizzard of 2011 – the only Oprah show to ever be cancelled).
When we finally did attend a show, the timing could not have been more perfect. Let me explain: I am a HUGE royalty buff. I always have been, long before Will and Kate. As Robyn can attest to, I have three full shelves of books on the subject!
If I could have had a choice to go to any Oprah show in 25 years, this would have been very close to the top of my list (along with favorite things, of course!). In the end, things were pretty close to perfect.
The only thing that kept it from being perfect was the fact that we only had two tickets, and Kim graciously bowed out. We’re happy she joined us for lunch afterwards, where we celebrated all we had done over the past eight months.
This has been an incredible experience, and I want to thank Kim and Robyn, our readers, and our supporters, for joining me on this journey!
