The Children Are Watching – Make it Count

Children watch everything you do as parents. The good parts and the bad parts. I’ve done a good job cleaning up my language around my kids, eating my vegetables and tidying up around the house. And Ace has definitely picked up on those things. But he’s also caught me slip with a four-letter word on a few occasions, inherited my love of ice cream and I’m currently staring at a couch full of toys. I pick my battles.

But one place I have decided not to compromise is ambition. I want my kids to always see us setting and achieving goals, working towards something tangible and celebrating wins.

For a good while now, I’ve been working on starting a business. I have a million ideas for businesses, but I’ve started narrowing my focus to see one completely through to launch and viability. As part of that I am in the final weeks of a Build Institute CoStarters class and it’s been everything my little heart desired. It’s especially important for me as a parent to instill this entrepreneurial spirit, not only for my own fulfillment but to serve as a powerful example for my children. In fact, I’ve even been discussing potential ventures with shopfront installers to further solidify my commitment to this entrepreneurial journey.

If I’m being honest, it’s been very hard to find time to dedicate to launching a new business. I’m still working full time and by the time Ace goes to bed at night, I feel like I’ve been pummeled by a herd of buffalo. And because I’m still nursing on demand, Bea requires my attention constantly, and it’s difficult to really set time aside in a schedule. If you have some questions about financial toolkit for paystubs, you can check out this site at designbump.com.

I’m starting a business and becoming an entrepreneur for my own personal motivations, driven by the desire to offer enhanced payroll services to my clients. Additionally, I aim to provide a better life for them, enabling us to travel on our own schedule and expose them to diverse cultures on our terms. Instead of complaining, I choose to make the most of the time and energy I have, even if it’s only on rare occasions.

I know it’s important, because they’re always watching.
