Samantha WhiteParticipant
The Why i started for me was quite simple my corporate job was literally killing me. If you want the story I’m happy to share lol
The Why i still get out of bed and do what I do I suppose there are a number of things..
1) Financial independence for me paying off the mortgage etc (just not having to worry about money would be nice)
2) After so long there’s no way I could go back to the corporate world (not being able to work in my PJ’s till lunchtime is a dealbreaker)
3) I would like to get my mum into a nice retirement flat closer to me so I can look after herI’ve made some very poor ‘paycheck’ or desperation decisions over the years (an ecommerce website for £400 for example) red flags all over the place but i desperately needed some money.. he’s still a client on a monthly maintenance retainer.. though i never hear from him.. he might have died *shrugs*
I’ve changed the way I work now so there will be none of that, plus I know more now than I did all those years ago when he got a bargain website, people have to pay me for what I know not what I do going forward *puts foot down*
Samantha WhiteParticipantSlightly late to the party .. I had a day yesterday (dealing with my lovely but computer inept mother)
My confidence is a work in progress after certain men in my life chipped away at it over the years, but they are gone now (1 left permanently the other 1 I divorced).
I’ve also recently had my diagnosis of ADHD at my bloody age I mean really! So I’m a neuro-spicy people pleaser with imposter syndrome and OCD.. honestly is a wonder i can get anything done.
*sighs in gen-x*
It is what it is.. I’ve accepted the fact I’ll have good days and bad days, on the bad days I set up an auto responder and just look after myself (usually committing war crimes in Diablo 4) but that’s why we aren’t corporate slaves we can take a personal day if we need it. They are getting less.. sometimes its just a personal morning I need to feel mentally prepared to get on with it.
I guess my inner peace has come from realizing I’m flawed but accepting and even embracing my flaws as they make me who I am (the imposter syndrome can suck my spirit d*ck though)
