The hardest and most amazing thing I've ever done :-)
1 year ago, I was working for a bank, over-worked, under-appreciated, and consistently being taken advantage of. One morning, I remember waking up in my hotel room in a completely different state away from my family where I had been on assignment for the last 2 months, saying to myself "How much is my soul worth? How much longer am I going to allow myself to be mistreated? Why am I allowing myself to get stressed out to get things done while the higher ups ride around all day going to these fancy lunches, golfing, and getting home at a decent hour to spend quality time with their familes?" 7 years in, I hit a breaking point. I decided if I was going to break my back and sacrifce my happiness for the sake of my bosses, I might as well work for myself...so I quit. I decided to become the master of my own fate,to create my own destiny, to finally be happy doing something I loved.....I didn't realize how exhaustingly hard starting a business was. I realized I didn't know ANYTHING about starting/running a successful business. Up until this point, I didn't even have any social media! I'm still in the learning phase, but I won't give up, because I KNOW the end game is worth it!

excellent first post Elle,.. I know you will have an amazing journey, ups n downs.. it's all part of learning. To your success, Heather
Well done Elle. Not an easy decision, but if you are not spending quality time with you family and it because of a job you do not like, then you must do it. There is nothing more valuable than you family.
Thank you so much Harvey! Family is the most important. All of my friends thought I was crazy when I quit, but I know there is a better journey ahead!
