Build Your Tribe
EP. 215
GOT KIDS? This is your episode.
Are you considering building a business as you raise your kids? It is most definitely possible. In this episode, I’m going to share with you my husband Bret and I’s experiences with doing just that. We’ve made some mistakes, let’s be real… we all do from time to time! But there were definitely some things that worked well for us. Both for our family and for our business.
We didn’t really put a lot of plan and thought into our strategies, but man oh man IF WE DID! That’s why I am here to help you.
Bret and I came from COMPLETELY different childhood backgrounds, but before we got married we were able to agree on one thing. We wanted to be able to work for ourselves AND be available to our family. So we made a goal from the start to build our business to the point in which it could sustain us and a family BEFORE having kids. I am going to share with you some of the strategies that we recommend to help you set yourself up for success.
Sleep deprivation was something I battled for around 12-15 years. Through developing this habit stronger over time, I never realized the increasingly negative effects it had on the quality of my life. My body language, demeanor, and work habits were affected dramatically. I definitely was not the best version of myself that I could be at the time. If sleep deprivation is something you feel that you battle as well, be sure to check out the episodes I have released a while back (if you haven’t already). In these episodes, I go in depth and conversed with experts to share how I got myself out of the battle I faced with my sleep. You can find the links to those episodes below.
I hope you enjoyed this episode, feel free to hit me up on the socials if you have any questions or thoughts!!
