Two years ago, my daughter asked me, “How can I tell my friends that you sell sheds?” It was a moment of transition as I stepped out of my teaching role into a full-time position running our family businesses. My response? “Tell them your mom is self-employed, solving storage problems for those in need.”
Our grand opening wasn’t just about sheds; it was a celebration of the meticulous details in orchestrating an event for our new small business. It was about applying the lessons learned from various roles, even back to my childhood lemonade stand. Utilizing my digital marketing skills, I ran the business in a way true to myself.
