Mental Health
A major factor in my decision to start my own small business was to protect my mental health. During some of the toughest years of my life, I was working full time, away from my kids for many hours & missing so much of their lives. My mental health suffered terribly, partially due to mom/wife guilt about being gone a lot & also not being able to take the necessary mental health breaks necessary.
Community, Not Competition
Whether you are a small business owner or not, fur mama or human mama, introvert or extrovert...community is far better than competition. You should never compete with anyone that isn't your past self.
