Real Business?

I spent the first 8 years of my self-employed life feeling like a fraud, because my business wasn't my top priority, Reader I wasn't going all in. I had no plans to scale. I was happy to make enough money for our bills, with as little time, energy, and headspace invested as possible, because I had a crap-ton of other things going on in my life. I used to worry that my Comfy Business wasn't a real business. I don't worry anymore. So I wrote this blog post (3-minute read) for anyone else worrying that because their business needs to squish in around other life challenges, adventures, and priorities, it isn't a 'real' business (spoiler alert: it is).

But, I find it tricky to think about the future without getting struck down by a case of the ‘shoulds’. I should be doing better I should...
