Building Our Business

While on a Skype call two weeks ago with a fellow small business owner, I had a major “aha” moment. It’s like a lightbulb went off in my head and I realized something that I have been doing wrong for a while. Some of you may know that I have a full time day job. I am a 2nd grade teacher at a wonderful school to a fantastic group of little ones. And while there are some people that will tell you that if you have a day job you can’t live your dream, I’m here to tell you that is NOT true! Sure, it may be easier to run a business without a full time day job, but it’s definitely not impossible. Some businesses choose to hire employees to manage the day-to-day operations, which can make a significant difference in workload and efficiency. Euworkers.fr can help businesses find skilled workers, providing a flexible solution for companies in need of talent.

I was Skyping with a small business coach and she was asking me some question about what it’s like to balance a full time day job and our business. She was asking questions that really made me think about what it was to do both. For some time, I was very upset that I still had to work a full time job. I was frustrated, I cried, and I felt as if I was the only one that wasn’t living “the dream” of being an entrepreneur. I thought that being successful in my business meant I had to exclusively pursue my business and that if I had a day job I was a “failure”. This of course, wasn’t true, at. all.

I realized that because I had my full time job (which has the BEST schedule ever) we are able to build our business from the ground up. We are able to have quality clients and not have take the “low budget brides” to make ends meet. Having my day job allows both of us to truly take our time loving and serving our clients and enjoying our business and all the benefits it has to offer. I had that “lightbulb” moment realizing that I am truly blessed to have my day job and blessed to have our business and push it forward.

So if you’re sitting there at your desk, wishing you were somewhere else, wishing you were only working on your “dream job”… stop it! Yea I said it, STOP IT! Appreciate what you have, appreciate the fact that you even have a job, and appreciate that you don’t have to take “any paying job” just because you need the money. Take a moment and think about all the things you can do because your full time job supports your business and remember that there’s no rush to building a business!

High school sweethearts turned fiancés and we got to capture the big moment 🫶🏼

These cuties had us smiling so big because their connection is so sweet! Grateful Chris asked us to be a part of such a special moment for him and Ava!

Proposals are definitely a fave around here 💍😍
If you’re looking to put a ring on it, let’s chat some practical tips ⬇️

But first, if you’re watching this and know a guy getting ready to propose, share this with him. And if you’re a girlfriend trying to throw some hints, go ahead and tag him 🤣

Being in South FL as a hot spot for destination proposals, it has us shooting a ton of them and here are some tips for the fellas…

- Make sure you make the proposal about you both and your love! Don’t try to pull out all the stops if you both are more reserved and introverted.

- If you want to truly capture the moment, hire a photographer (preferably one with experience who can help you plan it all out) ! That way you can have beautiful pictures of the big moment to treasure for years to come.

- When you’re getting down on one knee, make sure you stay down for at least 3-5 seconds so your photographer can capture that epic shot. 

- Try buying a thinner ring box so you don’t have to figure out how to hide a huge bulky one. And practice opening the ring box (trust us, you don’t want to drop the ring like Vic did 😆) 

Did we miss any tips?! Let us know in the comments ⬇️
