Family and health

My LEC team!

The new dog we adopted this Sunday. :)

My education

Nature and the healing power of spending time there

Health of my family!

My husband and two girls and the fact that I get to wake up with the three of them under my roof every day

Freedom to break up my time in the most effective way- not being limited by in-person commitments.

Ability to see my roommates more :)

If you have questions/comments - please feel free to share it in the chat.

We will do a quick Q&A towards the end

I love the pop-ups to test the market!

Where did you take business classes? I could really use some more education/knowledge on the financial/accounting piece of running a business.

@Jennifer-WWBIC is great for classes for entrepreneurs.

Oh, and a question I have listening to Melanie is how does a business make the decision to hire employees and start payroll, as opposed to doing everything yourself. It's SO expensive to start payroll. Doing everything with my partner is definitely wearing on our well being. Thanks for the WWBIC referral, Paula! Maybe I can get this question answered there too.

Yes Jennifer-they talk about that~and marketing, and business plan and….

Any advice on how to balance working hard and working to much?

buy some tasty desserts and give it to a loved one!

Make space for other people to take mindful breaks!
