Finding your work/life flow + hot jobs

I've been working hard and building businesses from the ground up for years now, and doing so very successfully and passionately.

It still amazes me when people question my work ethic because I also make time for joy, travel, friends, and community.

I've learned that success doesn't have to come at the expense of the things that make life good. Building something meaningful AND enjoying the journey — that's the sweet spot I'm after.

So if you’re in your freelance groove, building, growing, thriving, but still hearing whispers here and there from people questioning your path, and whether your “little business” is legitimate, here’s your reminder: It is.

Not everyone is going to understand what you’re building and why. Not everyone is going to accept that flexibility and autonomy are qualities to be admired, not questioned.

And that’s okay.

Their opinions don’t matter. What does matter is the feeling you get from building a business and a life that truly work for you.

Own that.
