Being an entrepreneur has made me blossom into the person I’ve always dreamt of being.

Before I went full time in my first startup I was very much so running like a hamster on the corporate hamster wheel. I wasn’t able to listen to my body, dream bigger, and I didn’t have the capacity to actually implement strategies for my dreams to become a reality.

Almost a year into being a full-time entrepreneur sure has been eye opening. If I look back at when I first took the leap, quit my day job, and went full-time (without a plan or clients lined up I should add) it’s crazy to see how much life has changed. It’s become quieter, in a good way.

The way I have structured my life as an entrepreneur allows me to work creatively when I mentally feel creative, there is no pressure to perform 24/7. I am able to provide a better service for clients, my business has skyrocketed, and I am the owner of multiple businesses now in almost a year full-time.

I’m not telling you this to sugarcoat entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship takes a lot of long hours and determination to actually make it.

Only about a month ago was I able to really start stepping into my dream lifestyle of being able to wake up when I please, even though it’s typically 6AM, along with really taking advantage of a more flexible schedule.

I’m only able to do this because I now have solid automated systems and a small team around me to support my first business while I focus on other financial avenues now too. Let’s get into all the ways becoming a full-time entrepreneur saved me.

When I became an entrepreneur full-time I was ridiculously burnt out.

My biggest vow to myself that I repeat to myself every single morning is that I will never be back in that position again. I will never feel that exhausted, not taken care of, and mentally unwell ever again. I wasn’t able to prioritize anything that made me happy with the schedule I was required to have in the corporate world.

1. No more building my life around someone else’s schedule.
