Spoiler alert, it’s my 9 year self employment anniversary today and I’m going to do some reflecting, ranting and raving.⁠ ⁠ Our whole lives it’s instilled in us “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. I remember when I was in first grade I drew a stick figure at an easel and wrote “artist”. That’s a Libra quality right there, never get too specific. My point is, even as a first grader I was already thinking about that some day I was going to have to get a job, to pay the bills and that job better be a dream job because our whole life is defined by what we call our job.⁠ ⁠ When I was fired from my job I was devastated for about 48 hours. Then I realized that I didn’t want to work, I didn’t want to have a boss, I didn’t want to follow a schedule that someone else set up for me. These were my motivations to take Eileen K Photography full time. I knew that if I could create my own empire I would truly not feel like I was going to “work”.⁠ ⁠ I had set goals for about 5 years out. I didn’t need 5 years and I had crushed them. So, here I am 9 years later and I really don’t know what the future holds. I know I want to continue creating, keep making people happy, keep traveling, keep saying f*%# MN winters and I don’t really know what else. ⁠ ⁠ None of this would be possible for me through with out every single one of you that has invested in me, trusted me with your memories and enjoyed what I do. Every single like, comment, review and hug means so much to me!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #eileenkphoto #mnweddingphotographer #mnwedding #theknot #girlboss #entrepreneur #womeninbusiness #bosslady #ladyboss #femaleentrepreneur #motivation #womensupportingwomen #inspiration #entrepreneurlife #savvybusinessowner #communityovercompetition #womeninbiz #entrepreneurship #womenentrepreneurs #beyourownboss #smallbusiness #wonderlust #womentravlers #solotravel #minneapolis
