Want your business to be the top-listed Event Planning Service?
In 2015 I was tired, stressed and anxious. I was a high school teacher, newly married and juggling, what seemed like, a world of burdens and expectations.
I remember dreaming of quiet afternoons sipping a chai latte and reading a book, having control over my time and enjoying a life of ease, joy and freedom. And I knew that if I wanted to pursue this life, something drastic had to change, so I quit my job and chased those wild dreams of mine.
I didn’t know anything about running a business, so I didn’t have huge expectations for myself. My goal was to pursue life & joy, not money. All I wanted to do was replace my teaching wage. I decided that would be enough.
I thought that would be easy, after all so many people were doing it and I wasn’t stupid! I thought all I had to do was grow a following on instagram and then book clients. It wasn’t long until I realised that it was SO much harder than I ever imagined! In my first year of business I made around $8,000 profit. I was deflated. I had worked SO hard. I began to think this dream of mine wasn’t possible. I remember wondering why I ever thought having a business would alleviate the tiredness, stress and anxiety I had as a teacher?! Those feelings all came back.
