15 reasons I love having my own business
Yesterday was my 15th year in business!
Since I’m currently on my maternity leave (see #12 below) I put together a quick, fun list to celebrate this accomplishment.
- Feeling a sense of accomplishment
- Meeting fellow small biz owners (especially fellow moms in business)
- Being challenged every day
- Leaving early to hang out with my kiddos
- Marketing my business (I have a passion for marketing)
- Always learning something new
- Making my own work schedule
- Working on a variety of projects
- Making any day “Bring Your Kids to Work” day (see above)
- Spending time on creative side projects (and my second business, typebaby)
- Developing long-term relationships (and friendships) with clients
- Being able to take maternity leave with both of my children
- Creating a work-life balance
- Carrying on a family tradition of self-employment
- Helping organizations grow and share their message
