✨ My budding entrepreneur + Dubsado App Update


Hi Reader

I spend a lot of time at the library.

At the beginning of every month I hand my kids the library events calendar.

Each of them gets a different color to highlight all the events they are interested in attending.

My 10 year old highlighted the Start Your Small Business Adventure hosted by the local SBA.

She been working on making jewlery for the last several months and hopes to have a booth at the kids market later this fall.

We went together last night and had a really good time.

She asked some great questions and learned all about business plans, how to figure out your startup costs and operational expenses for cash flow needs, and a little about business financing.

She got to meet a young boy who has a booth at the kids market this weekend.

We also go to connect with a young woman who’s starting to teach Polynesian dance lessons.

I’m hoping to set up a homeschool field trip with her sometime in the next few months.

It’s definitely not a connection I could have predicted, but so happy it did and we took a moment to chat with her.

You just never know who you're going to meet by putting yourself out there.

Hi Reader Setting up MemberVault finally made it to the top of my to do list. It’s been a long time coming… Like 2 years+.

Hi Reader There comes a point with an upcoming move that my priorities start to shift. My energy goes from planning and preparing to very actively doing. This happened a few weeks ago and the reason I’ve been in your inbox a bit less. It means my energy is going toward sorting, packing, selling, and donating. It means that my house feels like a disaster as we thoughtfully purge. Every move has challenges, so far this one for me is making myself mentally and physically available to help all...
