The Struggle or Your Foundation

business· Develop· personal· Uncategorized

Many people write posts about the struggles that they experience as they are building their businesses. Every time I read one I am left inspired along with a feeling of relief that I am not alone. I am not the only small business owner eating Ginger Snaps and water trying having late night discussions with my husband over what bills we can pay this week and what will have to wait. We have made the decision as husband and wife that it was more economically sound that I stay home with our children, finish my degree and focus on building a solid business. For me THIS IS a struggle, I am a people person. But I have to look at it from the point of view that I am building not only a business for my family now,

I am laying the foundation for my children’s future. One that is based on communication because I AM home. I want my children to know that in a society that thrives on NOW, NOW, NOW. With mommy home there is a slower pace and peace. This is what I want, this is how I run my home, this is why I am here and why we have made the decision that I work from home and not outside of the home. I don’t think there is anything wrong with working outside of the home but it’s not for us. I want a business that I can build with my children sitting on the floor next to me as I edit. They are my priority after my God and I plan everything I do around them first. So when I ready Struggle, to me I see foundation because that really is what you are doing, laying the ground work for something better.
