Entrepreneur Life & Balance

Leave a comment

People say to me “you are always working.” I feel as though there is always a time when I am working even when I am off. Even if I have a team. This is why I became an entrepreneur. I like the excitement and thrill that comes with it. 

Ideas can come to me at any time and I need to work to release my mind. 

Someone said ‘you shouldn’t work on the weekends.’ I do not want a typical 9-5 and can work for a short amount of time on the weekends and spend the rest of the time with my son if I want to.  

I love my career and love being an entrepreneur. The saying ‘if you love what you do, you won’t feel like you ever worked a day in your life.’ This is 100% true and I couldn’t agree more with it. 

The truth is, I work when I want to work. If that is 3 AM when I wake up from a dream and get inspired then so be it. There is nothing wrong with working too much, as long as you can balance life.

 I believe that most days, I do have a good balance in life. I do also have boundaries. I think that being a single mom allows for these items to be much more flexible. 

Whenever I want to attend something whether, with my son or alone,  I always make sure to think is the best option for my time and son. If it is not, then I decline and move on. This took a lot of discipline over the years. It is important to understand and have balance. 

I have realized over the years that it is okay to say no and that I can’t attend everything. Once you realize this, the balance comes into play much easier.

An Easy Way To Invest In Your Child’s Future

Leave a comment

Here’s the thing, I am a big believer in investing. I invest in plenty of different ways for myself professionally and personally. It is no different for my son. 

I invested in his 529 Plan (which is a college account). I love that he is already set up for the future, and it can keep building each year. Plus the stock market, adds value often!   I use Victory Capital for my son’s account. 

Here is how you can get started: 

• Contributions invested offer tax-advantaged growth

• Withdrawals are free from federal taxes for qualified education expenses3

• Funds can pay for K-12 tuition, college, apprenticeship programs, and even student loan repayments

  • You can start with a $50 initial investment and an automatic recurring contribution of at least $50 per month

How Childhood Has Helped Me Grow

Leave a comment

I used to feel like the outcast of my family. My brothers and father are engineers. I always say they have the brains… & I  have the creativity genes. 

Throughout my childhood, I loved dance, photography, arts, painting, etc. In fact, I always created the dance flyers and programs! 

I taught dance for a short time in my life. What I realized was that I LOVED seeing the vision come to life; I saw dance moves go along with the music. It brought me so much joy; I guess you can say I had creativity when I was born. 

This journey has taken me to where I am today. I love that I was able to create a vision for my clients.

What I Like Most About Being Single

Leave a comment

When I realized I was going to be single, and a single mom, I was scared. I felt a lot more emotions than that, but it felt the strongest. As time went on I was able to feel other things and gain the confidence that I needed in order to be a successful mom and business owner. 

However, here I am still single years later, people often ask me why. There are a few different reasons, all of which are that I am enjoying life. There is so much that I am enjoying right now. I got married young and I wasn’t able to truly enjoy my 20’s the way I could have. I am thankful for the past, but living in the present right now I am doing things that I want to do. 

Too many times people think there is something wrong with the person if they are single for too long. I can let you know that I have boundaries, but also I am able to truly enjoy my life and go after my goals and hobbies. Here are some quick things that I enjoy the most: 

  • Do whatever I want. If I cant get the dishes done, then it’s fine. If I want to go out to eat with myself or son, I can. I make my own time and schedule. I can organize my schedule and house as I see fit! 
  • Enjoy the extra time with my son. I get twice the cuddles and hugs and LOVE IT.  He is growing too quick. 
  • Work on myself. I have been working on myself in many ways: spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. I realized that I needed some assistance and took action. 
  • Enjoy hobbies. I am getting back into the swing of this, people ask me what I do outside of work and I honestly don’t even know! So I started to spike an interest where I saw fit. 
  • Relax. I can sit down and take time out to pause through out the day! 
  • Rely on me. I like being in control and taking charge of my life. I enjoy being able to trust in myself and make decisions. 

Yes, I get lonely but I wouldn’t change it just yet. I will only be at this place one time in my life, so I might as well enjoy it and embrace it. What tips do you have for other parents who are single?

Balancing life as a single mom and entrepreneur

Leave a comment

I wish that I had advice for single moms…. balance, and entrepreneur life. I do not have much to say other than I need help. I am burnt out, I am tired. 

I beat myself up day in and day out, am I doing what’s best for Antonio? Am I taking time for myself? Am I growing my business the way I have planned? 

A year ago, I never thought I would be where I am today, but I also know that it is okay to ask for help. I am grateful and blessed, but sometimes being a full time single mom can be overwhelming. 

I see my other friends or entrepreneur friends who are married, and they don’t get it. It is one of the hardest things ever to be a single mom to a special needs child and have a business. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I just wish there were more awareness and local groups to help cope. Sometimes it can be hard to cope or find people WHO get it and will offer support. 

My advice? It is important to choose good people and build trust with others so you can ask for help knowing that you can rely on them. It is also important to know it is okay to take time off of work and enjoy time with your children. Life is too short to not enjoy it.

Best Banking System to use: Get FREE $50.

Leave a comment

I switched over my banking when I was going through a divorce. Still to this day, I am using it. Now I have transferred all my accounts to KeyBank. This bank has been so kind and amazing; they have truly provided amazing customer service. 

I think I have about 10 different accounts with them and I LOVE all the rewards and perks that come with this bank. It is also makes transferring money between accounts easier instead of writing checks or wire transfers. 

With the credit cards that I have now, I get cashback so that is a win-win. I have a local bank about five minutes from my house and they know me; I can rely on them and ask questions. 

Earn $50 when your friend opens a new checking account with a minimum opening deposit by December 31, 2021, and makes one $500 direct deposit in the first 60 days. Your gift will be delivered to you within 60 days of meeting the requirements if the account is still open and not overdrawn. They’ll get a great new checking account and $50, too.
