I’m not gonna lie; it’s not easy being a momma, wife and a work-from-home entrepreneur. Yesterday was one of those days —  I felt like quitting. Nailah was being fussy, so that meant I couldn’t get much done when I was trying to work.

I thought: Why am I trying to do this business/brand-building thing while I have an infant? Maybe I should wait until she’s older, then start again. 

Then, I realized I was kind of feeling sorry for myself. I also remembered that this is my season to sow, to work on branding myself and business; and when Nailah gets older, I can hit the ground running when it comes to pursuing bigger opportunities. It’s like I know this in the back of my mind, but sometimes, it’s hard to remember when things aren’t going according to my ideal plan.

Finally, I started thinking about my WHY, why I do what I do. Inspiring and empowering women is my purpose, and I can’t just give up when things get a little rocky. I might have to change some things around, but I. Will. Not. Quit.
