Building a Business While Employed And Raising Kids
Get weekly tips from full-time working mom (that's me, Sharon) about building a business on the side and creating the life you want.
Topics centre around optimizing your time, energy, and money to do this.
The back story...
In 2015, I realized that getting the job title and salary I wanted felt empty.
That's when I decided what I had believed about success was wrong for me.
I didn't want to keep climbing the corporate ladder only to pay bills and die.
So I decided to redefine success and redesign my career to support the life I want.
I experimented with lots of side projects, businesses and even started a cafe!
Eventually, it led me to becoming a leadership trainer in my day job and coaching working moms on the side.
You'll also hear from other women building businesses from time to time.
