She’s constructing a “cute little lifestyle business.”

Sound acquainted?

That appears to be the default assumption when a girl is constructing a enterprise that works for her, her life, her desires, her household.
Which is me, to a T.

I care about constructing a critical enterprise AND a giant life.

I don’t need one on the expense of the opposite.

And I refuse to imagine that’s a trade-off I’m doomed to make.

Ten years in the past, I used to be sitting on my rest room ground at 2am, quietly constructing Dreamers & Doers whereas my fiancé slept within the subsequent room of our studio condo.

Many late nights like this. Countless gut-wrenching selections as a founder. And a relentless quantity of dedication.

“Cute” will not be the phrase for it. 🤨

Neither was the last decade that adopted.

People telling me it could by no means work. Years of claiming “no” to funding when everybody mentioned I ought to take it. Building one of many very first OG neighborhood companies that nobody had a playbook for.

Today, Dreamers & Doers® is 12 years operating. Seven-figure ARR. Providing a dozen livelihoods. Thousands of girls’s companies catalyzed.

It’s additionally an organization I constructed deliberately across the *life* I wish to reside.

Fully distant. Profitable from the beginning. No outdoors traders. Members I’d serve without cost. And celebration as a core firm worth…as a result of why wouldn’t it’s??

This will not be cute. This is a dream, constructed on a decade of dedication—one which began on a rest room ground at 2am.

The world tells ladies to decide on: construct the enterprise *or* the life. I selected each.

Not as a result of I play small…however as a result of, to me, refusing to decide on *is* the larger recreation.
