Which Way to Go?

I have so many different things going on right now, my head is spinning.

After spending a very long time away with family, I put several projects on hold until I made it back to Texas. My heart is still very much into growing my business but I'm in the last rounds of interviews for a really great opportunity. 

Anyone who has started a business from scratch with no initial capital can feel my pain when I say "Mama need a house and baby need some shoes."

In other words, I need funds like yesterday.  I have a family that I have to take care of and as much as I'm down for the grind, I can't do it at the expense of my daughter going without basic necessities. The projects that are on hold are for my portfolio which means I'm working for the free! My husband and I agreed that if I didn't have any paying clients by a certain point, I would then start looking for a job. Well my friends, that time has come.

There is no wrong way with starting a business but I believe I am one of those people that should start a business while having a full time job. This way I could avoid the pressure of having to book a client just to buy dinner for the night. I'm definitely not about that life right now. That type of pressure is just too much. Should I get hired with this job, I will be traveling so I would use the down time I have in the hotel room to work on my side hustle to help keep my mind off being away from my family.

Everyone keeps asking me how I feel about returning back to corporate America. First off, I haven't been gone that long and secondly we all have to do what we have to do until we can do better. I'm feeling pretty good about returning back to work. I'm open to whatever God has planned for my life at this point so I'm not putting up a fuss about too much of anything these days with the exception of being closer to family. I really, really, really miss my family!

  1. I'm in the process of creating my portfolio so I can start with freelancing work and I also work full time because well, it's just me and my children are always needing something. LOL!

    Good luck with both endeavors and God Bless!
