Have you ever done something that scared the heck out of you, but excited you at the same time? Maybe you took on a task you weren’t completely sure you could accomplish, but tried anyway?
If you have, then you’ve experienced the sheer exhilaration that comes from taking that leap.
My “leap” happened in 2011, after my maternity leave ended and I was torn between being home with my kids and going back into the work force full-time. My daughter was about to start kindergarten, and my son was barely a year old. After much reflection, I decided I wasn’t ready to leave them in someone else’s care, yet I wasn’t sure being an entrepreneur was in the cards for me. I loved the idea of being my own boss, but I wasn’t naive. The stresses that accompany owning a business are many – invoicing, client acquisition / retention and the constant discipline to meet deadlines, to name a few. After weighing the pros and cons of each scenario, the one that was right for my family and me was to work from home.
It was a daunting task at first and, to be honest, some days it still feels like that. Between kids’ schedules, client deadlines and all of the other stuff that needs to get done in a day, life can get pretty hairy. But then I think back to the day I decided to become an entrepreneur and I realize it’s the best path I could’ve possibly chosen. Life has a way of throwing us curve balls… and it’s all about whether we step up to the plate and swing, or let them intimidate us. Sometimes choosing the (more) difficult path leads us to the place we’re meant to be.
