Priceless Gift From Being Self-employed
(Cover photo: Melissa Jeane)
Hi everyone,
I had a priceless experience that I just wouldn't get working a J.O.B. yesterday.
Melissa Jeane asked for her purple dress so I handed it to her and she took off her shirt and put on the dress. Then she put on her Cocomelon birthday hat. She got her tablet and put that in a blue bag and put that over her shoulder.
Melissa Jeane said she was going to see her cousin who is just a few weeks older than her. I wasn't sure if Wen was taking her there which is close by to us so I followed Melissa Jeane out the door and down to the gate which leads to the steps to the ground floor.
I stopped at the adjoining house/apt that we rent and asked Wen if she was planning to take Melissa Jeane to her cousins. She was not.
I was just amazed how Melissa Jeane who is just 4 years, 1 month old planned this out and prepared herself. A proud papa moment.
If I worked a regular J.O.B., I would rarely have the chance to experience something like this.
In my previous marriage, I missed the early years watching my 3 girls grow up as I was working just about round the clock. I think of that often with each new experience I have with Melissa Jeane.
That's the #1 benefit of working for yourself especially online.
I hope you have a productive week ahead as you continue to build your online business(es)!
Happy FriSatSu!
To Our Success!

Good morning Mel,
I'm so pleased that you are able to spend time with your daughter. Life goes by quickly, and it's so easy to miss out on things, especially when you're busy.
It's good to be reminded about being self-employed; I have been self-employed virtually all my life! I think I'm unemployable now!
Have a great day, Mel and enjoy your time with your daughter.

Thanks Roy! I've been self-employed the last half of my life. I wouldn't trade it for a job no matter what they offered.
Mel
It's always a pleasure, Mel!
That's good, Mel; you have also served your country, I believe. I always admire anyone who serves for a democratic country, a bold thing to do!
Have a great day.
Roy
That;s a good sign of confidence Mel, but perhaps a little too soon.
Yes, I used to get some good times with my kids from being home-based.
Make the most of your time with her, pretty soon she will as tall as dad and telling you what you can and can't do.

My grandson is the same. He's eight and he regards it as his house and his parents are there to do as they are told.
It wouldn't have worked with my dad.
Enjoy her childhood with her.
Bux
Truly the best attitude Mel. As a child, they need to know where the line is.
Hope you are having a good start to the new week.

Congrats, Mel!
You're with MJ 24/7.
Additionally, you can save time and money on commuting and other expenses associated with office work. And overall, there are many advantages to working from home, especially for parents who want to balance their work and family life.
Thanks, Mel, nice post!

That is a definite perk of being self-employed, Mel!
Great to see that you got to experience that!

Hi Mel
She is so adorable! I couldn't help smiling at those "banana shoes" as my mom called it, when we had our shoes on the wrong way. Adorable how she dressed up for the occasion and took her tablet along! Seems your little business woman was planning a serious business adventure? Enjoy her, Mel!
