A Plant Stand in the Kitchen: Building a Business While Nursing Two Babies
I was nursing two babies at the time and had three children at home, small children, while my husband worked full time.
That is where I started. And I started a business in my kitchen on a plant stand.
The plant stand
That plant stand was my desk. It was not glamorous. It was enough to begin.
Teaching myself
I taught myself everything that I know. From SEO to what I do now, which is create systems that scale agencies.
For anyone building between everything else
If you are building something in the middle of real life, you are in good company. My mission is wanting to help everyday people learn that they do not have to be stuck anymore.
I was stuck, and I unstuck myself. You can too.
