We built a career (an outdoor centre) that paid well and that we enjoyed.
However, we decided the hours and the location were not suitable for raising a family.
2 weeks before our first baby was born we relocated, brought a property and got some suitable 9-5 work for a family.
Unfortunately, an unexpected redundancy rocked our world.
After that we worked a number of different jobs, always fearing we'd have the rug pulled from under us again.
We realised that no job provided the time, freedom, money to spend time as a family.
None of them excited us enough to be committing our whole lives to them.
This wasn't the future we had promised each other or our children.
If we didn't make a change now, then when?
Probably the same as everyone else, not knowing (or assumptions) about:
Having the right skills?
Scams and pyramid schemes?
How do you get people to visit a website?
What do we sell and how do we sell it?
The Four videos we watched that helped us address these questions are:
The videos were a lifeline for us when we couldn't see a way out our 9-5 trap, trading our family time for money.
COULD YOU BUILD SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF?
The truth is like any business, getting started is hard.
