I spent the last 10 years working 7 days a week.
Then I had a baby girl.
I just returned to work after 2 months of paternity leave.
Running the agency while having a newborn daughter isnt easy (yet).
But I wouldnt trade it for anything.
Talk about a serious mind shift.
I always wanted to be successful, but now I want to be successful with purpose.
I have micro goals now instead of one giant goal.
My priority is creating an environment for my daughter to thrive.
I'm not going to stop working, but Im working differently.
I used to be a 7 days a week type of operator.
Emails after hours, work after hours, calls after hours.
Now I'm building this business conducive to the lifestyle I actually want to live.
Roles, responsibilities, and tasks have grown, and our team has stepped up to take them on.
A lot of people work at Straight Up Growth now, and I'm so so so thankful for it.
Responsibility is shared, and that means a much more balanced lifestyle.
Chase the balance, not the money, and your life will be honey. 🚀
