It’s Andrew’s LAST day at his full-time job! He has worked so so hard over the last eight years and has given so much of his time and energy to Cintas. I am so proud of him and seriously can’t believe we are both now officially full-time entrepreneurs! He will be working from home continuing to build up his bookkeeping business full-time and will also be co-homeschooling with me (there was no way I was going to do this on my own 😂). And his level of involvement in the rental side of things will be increasing as well. 👌🏻 So so grateful that we were able to take this leap; honestly it still feels super scary and uncertain but I also have a confidence that this is the best decision and that we’ll be able to make it. Who knew that 2021 would be full of so many twists and turns in our story. 📷: @ashleycookphoto
This was finally going to be *my year.* The year that both my girls would be in school full-time! After years of working during naps, while the kids are at nana’s, when my youngest was in preschool, and early mornings/late nights... I would finally be able to have a normal 9-3 work schedule. To be honest, I had been dreaming of that day for a long time. And then, as we approached my youngest heading off to kindergarten this fall... I didn’t feel the way I thought I would. I was sad. The idea of being by myself all day was no longer the dream that I had looked forward to for all that time. Ultimately, we made the decision to homeschool for several reasons...but what I have come to realize is that the dream of my kids being in school full-time was based on a lie. A lie that said I could only really grow my business once I had more time. A lie that said I would finally have the time to do all of things I wanted to do. A lie that said my business would suffer if I didn’t put more time in to it. But the reality is, I had my kids at home with me for a YEAR during the pandemic and my business GREW. We added an entire other facet to my business and expanded in ways I had never dreamed of, and we’re still growing. Things are not stopping or slowing down any time soon... and while we are going to be getting creative about our work schedules, I am so excited for this new season that God is leading us in to. Having my kids at home, I’ve come to realize, is a blessing — not a burden. 💛 I know homeschooling is not for everyone and I’m sure some people will roll their eyes at this...but I mostly wanted to share because I had believed that the success of my business was reliant on something that was completely false. And maybe you believe something like that too. Maybe you’ve been told you need to do “___” to be successful (you have to quit your full time job, you have to hustle and run yourself in to the ground, etc). The beauty of running a business is that we are able to do it in our OWN way and we don’t have to follow the standards of anyone else. 🙌🏼 📷: @stevisaylerphoto
