In 2015, I was ten years into a fairly successful freelance business endeavor. Things were great – I was making a respectable living, was just starting a family, and had the disposable income to bring my children to Disney on a whim. Best of all – I was my own boss.
If that sounds too good to be true – it was. I wasn’t running a freelance business; my business was running my life. My work weeks were long, my family was suffering, and I spent our “vacations” taking client phone calls and making website updates on my iPad, while the kids went on rides with their grandparents.
I was completely stuck. And in 2015, I decided to make a change.
Today, I spend my time running a business – not the other way around. I travel for work and I travel for fun, and I leave the laptop behind when I’m on vacation. And the business? It’s positioned so that it can run without me. I speak frequently on how I gained freedom to live life, and I’d love to share that story with you.
To feed my travel addiction, I frequently speak on business and management topics at conferences across the United States. I’ve covered topics ranging from business basics and growing a business, to project management, branding, marketing, and team building. Contact me if you’re interested in having me speak at your event.
