Kiri’s Journey
I was sitting in the car crying on the phone to my husband. I had just left my 12-week ultrasound appointment for my second pregnancy.
My first had ended in a miscarriage.
I was hopeful about this one. I had reached 12 weeks!
But even I could tell during the ultrasound that something wasn’t right. The baby was not shaped like those cute photos you see in announcement photos.
After a discussion with my doctor, I found out that there was something seriously wrong.
What followed next were weeks of appointments and tests that required me to go into Boston for a significant amount of time. And also…lies and excuses.
There were so many that it turned into an awkward rigamarole with my employer. What excuse could I think of? Why was I taking off random three or four hour chunks during the day over a few weeks?
I hated every minute of it. I swore then that I would never again have to report to an employer.
Maybe you’ve been there: so many doctor’s appointments that it is an awkward thing to talk about. Or maybe your phone was on silent (oops!) and you check it to find missed calls and texts from your boss freaking out. Perhaps you’re just sick of looking out the window on a 75 degree day and feel like you’re missing out on life because you have to be chained to your computer.
I’ve been there (all of those situations, actually). Most importantly, I was done and had had enough.
I began looking online on how to take my skills and create a business online. I knew it was possible, but I didn’t know how. What I found were random webpages, articles from companies like Fast Company and Entrepreneur, with three bullet points lined out that made it seem so easy.
It took me five months of research and marketing to start my business and get my first client. From there, it took another nine months to quit my job and go solo based on the money I was making.
What was missing was a distilled, easy-to-follow course that taught me:
How to take the skillsets I have and transfer them online into a business,
How to price my services, and
How to market myself effectively to land clients.
This didn’t exist. There are more now, but what’s still missing is how to get paid an equivalent of what you were making in your corporate life, and still have time to do what you want to do.
After having my own contractor business for nine years, helping numerous friends, and friends of friends, and friends of friends of friends, I decided it was finally time to package it all into one course so that no one else has to go through what I did. It shouldn’t take over a year from start to end to create a business and schedule that works for you.
There is a happy ending to the pregnancy story. Two months after quitting my job, I got pregnant again - and this time it lasted. I now have two children, a wonderful husband, an aging dog and a thriving business.
You can have it too.
