PPB March 2020

What are your biggest challenges and how are you working to solve them? I feel as though my “biggest” challenges keep changing. First, it was navigating my way through the tariffs. Now, I am working through the coronavirus and the impact it may or may not have on us. Who knows what will be going on when this article is published? Lesson here, just keep pushing. What are your tips to achieve a work/life balance? There have been many times I’ve been working late at night and have forgotten to unlock the window for the Tooth Fairy, or work might be too hectic for me to leave early to make it to the start of one of my kids’ games. However, the Tooth Fairy eventually makes it to our house and I always get to the game, even if there is one minute left. My husband and business partner, Rory, will help me when he can. I have a good support system at home. Outside of this, I am still working really hard, every day, at balancing. Balancing is hard and tiring. I really should have washboard abs from all this balancing! (LOL) What advice or resources do you have for other women business owners or those planning to start their own business? This is a good question. Advice is hard to give. I find that, in the end, people are going to do what they want, no matter what. I would say, you are going to have great days and horrible ones. There will be times when you are so proud of yourself it is hard to contain your pride and then other days when you feel like all you do is fail. Try to take it in stride and do what you need to, so you don’t get discouraged. Keep moving.
