Seeing moms on the other thread who make a lot of money at their own businesses.
Would love to hear more, give me something to dream about.
I earn a great salary but dream of being my own boss.
What area is your business in?
What's your typical workweek?
Pros / cons?
How'd you get started?

What area is your business in?
Residential and kitchen design; cabinets
What's your typical workweek?
Long. I should be working now!
Pros / cons?
Pros: Work for myself, developed my own niche, love my work, it's a stimulating and creative job that also really is my passion, I'm very good at this so it's great for self-esteem, meet lots of nice people.
Cons: Deadlines, having to stay organized, carving out time for other things
How'd you get started?
This is a hobby-turned-business. I always loved architecture, kitchen design, the psychology of space, and ergonomics; and was doing space planning for free for friends. About 15 years ago DH said to me "You know, people would pay you for this!" And he was right!

Can I add another question: for those that are in a creativity type field - how do you handle the business back end of working for yourself? That’s the part that scares me. I’m good at what I do but I don’t have the brain for the technical business management stuff.

I know how to grow and run a business but as far as "technical business management stuff" like doing taxes, taking care of resale and business licenses, keeping billing up to date, and similar mind-numbing paperwork, I am fortunate to have an in-house non-creative type here and he takes care of it — my husband is a CPA.

I have worked as the executive assistant for more than 1 small business owner.
If you're the creative one, you pay someone to do the rest of the boring stuff.

My DH takes care of the technical and financial. I’m blessed! He has a great math brain which I clearly lack.
I do the creative part and customer service.
We make a good team bh!
