You see, at my house, my voice often gets lost in the mix of four kids and a husband. For a person who likes to be productive and feel purposeful, this can be a challenge. For many years I have questioned whether being a full-time mom was right for me. I've searched repeatedly for something to do outside of the house to not only generate income, but to feel valued and noticed. To have some tangible reward for doing my job.
After many, many years of tossing ideas around, engaging in small side business ventures, and striving to find just the right thing, I opted to create my own business. A legitimate business. Paperwork filed and all! For the past six months, I have been a business owner.
I am so excited to be the proud owner of a business I feel truly fits my personality and strengths. A mom-centered, organized, helpful service called the QC Busy Bee. The idea of this business is simple: making life simpler by helping others get back some of their time.
I cannot tell you how many times I have thought to myself, "I just wish someone would come and take care of (fill in the blank)." These thoughts are what drive my business model.
To most employers, my resume would probably illicit some eye rolls and belly laughs. It would probably read something like this: "I have acquired some great skills over the years staying home with my kids. I can cook some seriously delicious meals, create a budget and manage the finances, efficiently grocery shop, plan some amazing vacations within a budget, plan fun events and parties, bake without nuts, and multi-task with the best of them."
Well, to this employer, these skills are extremely valuable and they are the very services we offer to our customers. As we continue to build our customer base and receive feedback from the community, more services will be added.
For the most part, we are only able to serve customers living within the Quad Cities, but there are a few, such as family-friendly meal planning and planning a customized vacation, that can span all geographical areas.
Creating a business of my own has offered me the opportunity to take control of my future and work toward a goal. Just like anything else it will take time to grow and blossom, but I am looking forward to the challenges and rewards that lie ahead. It will take a lot of hard work, but it will be worth it.
What starts off as a small idea has infinite potential to grow and I look forward to the journey. I have adopted a new motto: "The only thing standing between you and your dreams is you." It's time to get out of the way.
If you're short on time and need some help, we're here to help! Contact the QC Busy Bee today at qcbusybeeconcierge@gmail.com or 563-484-9402.
DR WILLIAMS CURED 7 YEARS AUTISM
ReplyDeleteI am sharing this testimony for my daughter who suffered autism for 7 years. I am doing this, because I was her mother and caregiver during her dark days and am very happy to share it so that others can be helped through DR WILLIAMS HERBAL MEDICINE. It was a tough a battle for her; I was not actually the one who hard autism, but bearing the burden makes me understand what parents whose children and love with autism go through.
Lesia now 19 and was diagnosed with autism at the age of twelve, for seven years, she fought against her diagnosis. I must admit it was never easy for us as a family; we had to constantly watch her, and answer questions that we couldn’t explain. On several occasions, she asked if she will ever stop having speech delay and get well like her school mates and be the best swimmer she dreamt of becoming. She was a very happy child; and had a ‘normal’ childhood and there was no suggestion that she would later on develop autism.
She refused to accept defeat and fought autism. She religiously kept to her medications in spite of their side effects. We all wanted a cure, so that she can chase her dream and live a normal life like every other child. But the more she takes these medications, the more her school grade drop. She couldn’t concentrate and we noticed that her memory was being severely adversely affected. Each time we went back to the hospital, her medicines were changed to a different one. Seems like, each change of drug brings about change in side effects. After about 6 years on Abilify , Geodon , and other medicines, it seemed the autism started to increase in frequency. I had to make effort to reduce her medicines with plans to eventually stop it all. We found an alternative treatment in homeopathy, which was better than her English drugs. Gradually, I reduced her drugs, and her autism were no longer as frequent as it was as when she was on conventional drugs.
With our little breakthrough with homeopathy treatment, we made further search for natural cure. Fortunately we saw testimonies about herbal medicines which cure autism. We saw a lot of claims though, contacted them and didn’t get a useful reply. Lucky for us, we finally got a reply from Doctor Williams, he directed us to his blog where we saw a lot of information about his herbal medicine . Without further delay I made a purchase for her, I switched her over to it. We had great breakthrough, that in 3 weeks, her autism reduced. After 1 months as Doctor Williams promised , all autism symptoms stopped. It was like a miracle for us. since all this days now Lesia became autism free. Her story is quite lengthy, I hope it also help someone out there.for more information you can email Dr Williams on drwilliams098675@gmail.com
