What’s Your Ideal Business Schedule?
Do you ever feel a little lost on where to get started with your business? Or maybe you have started but you aren’t really happy with how things are going!
Schedule? I have no schedule. There is no hurry. I work when I want to.

No matter what type of business you are in or if you haven’t started yet, I have an amazing exercise I want to share with you.
This exercise is one I take my students through when they are just starting their business. And no worries if you don’t want to be a Virtual Assistant.
The exercise will help ANYONE.
Here’s the thing, if you never take the time to figure out how you want your life to look day to day, then by default you are going through your day “reacting” to others and always doing what they want. In the end, this will leave you tired, frustrated, burnt out, and having a business that you don’t really enjoy.
We learn a lot from our parents and we can thank them for instilling most of our beliefs, good or bad. Both my parents worked hard to pay the bills, life was dictated by that. Neither of my parents had a college education and they would often mention that. I worked hard to make my life different, but the struggle to make ends meet doesn’t disappear that effortlessly.
Once I graduated college, I was not making that magical amount of money and I wasn’t happy with my job, but I wasn’t yet at a career using my degree (Criminal Justice and Psychology). Happily, several years after my accidental start as a Virtual Assistant, and hundreds of clients later, my passion is to help other women (especially moms) take advantage of the option to work from home. You will get to take advantage and learn from my mistakes as I guide you along this journey.
You may find that you will bump into preconceived ideas about working from home, or not taking a “traditional” route to employment, and you may see that others are very opinionated as well. What matters is that you learn, and work toward creating what YOU want to create. And ignore anyone that doesn’t support you!
