A Voice of Experience

EP Motivating Force:

I wanted to stay home with my kids and couldn't face the reality of 50-60 hour weeks, overnighters and cancelled days off that going back to work in retail would have meant. So I started figuring out the computer my husband was using for his home business, and developed a business from my self-taught skills.

 

EP Musings:

I have definitely traded financial security for more time with my kids, but it's been worth every minute!

 

EP Advice:

Very few of us will ever get rich, but most of us are enjoying what we do and enjoying bringing up our own kids. It takes time to build a business, especially when family comes first.
