Live like there is no tomorrow.



Inspiration:

My husband is an entrepreneur and I love that he turned his passion into his profession and is his own boss.



If you could teach your kids one thing and have it impact them, what would it be?

I would teach them to make wise and responsible choices and to think of the impact that doing so would have on others.



How do you measure success?

I think that success is measured by honorably achieving realistic goals, of course money is helpful in that equation, as well!

My amazing family is my greatest achievement in life.



Proudest Moment:

Giving birth to my children, as trite as that may sound, is the most proud set of memories of my lifetime.

Wildest Dream:

I wish to become a very successful entrepreneur, travel often, and continue to have an at-home lifestyle with my family.

What's that? Actually, currently, it is walking/jogging with my new dog and chasing my kids around!

Other:

What inspires you to go to work every day?

I have experienced great growth in a short period of time, so that keeps me burning the midnight oil.



[Business Owners] What motivated you to start your business?

I became a stay-at-home mom and wanted to remain with my kids, but help out the family, while learning something new and stimulating in the process.



[Business Owners] What is the hardest part about owning your own business?

The hardest part is putting work aside when I need to focus on the family first.
