Struggling.

This has been a tough couple of months for David and I. Being self-employed is not for the faint of heart. Work has been brutal, entrepreneurial life has been rough, and home life has been busyyy. I feel as though I’m on one of those carousels that goes round and round and I’m not getting to where I want to go. The frustration and confusion is real for me right now.

In these moments, I try so hard to lean towards being grateful for what I DO have.. ie our health, and a roof over our heads. But it is so hard to remain calm and to not freak out.

We are torn between getting more construction jobs to keep one company going strong and launching the other company, our baby. It’s impossible to do both without a large team behind us but it’s almost as if we have to. We have to keep our day job afloat while also working extremely hard on our startup in order for that to take off and close the other down for good. David and I have different perspectives on where to go next and how to manage both and it is very challenging!!

Anyone else out there trying to launch a startup? Anyone trying to do so with their partner?

I know this is a chapter in our story, but man oh man. It is testing me. Looking forward to feeling more settled and solidified in one company.
