Go all out for your dreams like you life depended on it

Hi Reader, I ended up the breadwinner, and started a business on the side of my job out of necessity. I had a 6-figure business debt, school going kids to support, my husband wasn't able to work, and I to leave an untenable work situation meaning we had no income. Sounds dramatic, and it definitely caused a lot of stress and anxiety at the time. But that was also when I decided that I was going to get smart about money because nobody was coming to save me I also realized that being in a corporate job wasn't going to help me prioritize my kids and family. Climbing the corporate ladder also didn't make sense when there was always going to be a salary cap but unlimited increasing work demands. The math didn't add up for me. So I decided to create a different path to have:
But I couldn't just quit my job with a family to support. And I also couldn't just quit my dream of creating the life I wanted. That's why I do what I do - to work full-time, run my coaching business on the side, so that I can prioritize my family. I talk about this on the podcast this week and why pursuing your dreams and goals is so important, especially if you're a mom. Listen to it on your favourite podcast player:
