On top of the challenge of creating content and marketing, I had a HUGE learning curve to overcome with the website-creation component!
Nevertheless, I was determined to learn the blog-game, inside and out.
I fell in love with blogging because it allows me to create every day, determine my own schedule, and truly own my success in life.
No more hoping I get that promotion at some stuffy office job, missing my kiddo’s field trips cause of the ole 9 to 5, or stifling my creative energy cause there’s no more time left in the day!
With blogging, you create your own future.
I’m not sayin’ it’s easy! On the contrary, I hustle now more than I have ever hustled in my life.
Yes, blogging is not what I thought it was when I started and sometimes, it’s hard!
The difference is: it’s my choice. It’s the hard that I choose. What could be more empowering?
Today, I enjoy waking up in the wee hours of the morning (I’m a morning person so that’s a good thing), making a cup of tea and blogging my heart out.
Then I grab breakfast with my badass daughter, Charlotte, before sending her off to school! What a novel idea!
Before blogging, Charlotte and I used to rush through our hectic morning in order to drop her off at early care before school so I could make it to my 9-hour workday as a purchaser on time.
Those days of hurrying through the good times are gone!
BLOGGING = MORE TIME WITH THE PEOPLE I LOVE.
Also: more time with the fur-babies. Life. Is. Good.
