| More About Me | I've never been one to follow the crowd and do things just because "everyone else was doing it". As I saw others around me start to live "adult lives", I immediately knew the rat-race and the 9-5 was not for me. Top of the list of reasons why it wasn't for me was that I wanted to be in control of my own time, not be beholden to someone else in exchange for money. I wanted to set my own hours, work when and where I wanted to. Especially because I was very much interested in having a family, and I wanted to be able to see them for more than a few hours at nights and on the weekends. I made the decision to become an entrepreneur in 2012, and I haven't looked back since. I've had a jewelry design business where I went to art markets and sold online, I taught craft classes in shops and galleries around town, and I tried my hand at teaching jewelry online as well. Currently I help online entrepreneurs manage their time efficiently so they can improve their mindset, achieve their business goals, and live their ideal lifestyle. Every day I ask myself, "What would I do if I could do anything I wanted?" And then I figure out how to make it happen. I make plans and I set goals. I hold myself accountable to those goals. I am fiercely protective of my time, whether it is playing with my daughter, taking care of my body and soul, working on my businesses, or spending quality time with my husband. And every day I am thankful for being part of an amazing community of entrepreneurs and small business owners, who inspire and motivate me through their own struggles, wins, and A-HA! moments. It is for them that I create my fun little posters. It's my own way of giving back and supporting their dreams and goals, like they do mine. I hope that I can be of service to you in helping you reach your goals, as well. I read and respond to every message, so if you have questions, advice, or just want to chat, consider this your personal invitation to get in touch!! In the immortal words of Henry David Thoreau: Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, and live the life you’ve always imagined. |
