Hi guys, I am so excited to find a forum that is completely off fb. I stumbled on this one while reading up on bro marketing. Lots of good stuff so far.

Anyway, I’m a 29 year old mom of four and a former special education teacher. I quit teaching last year. I started out my teaching career with passion and idealism, and I’m sure you can guess the rest.

Since then I’ve been Dipping heavily into my savings. When I quit, I planned to flesh out my parenting website and use it to both support other parents and support my family. I studied business, affiliate marketing, ebook creation, etc and pretty much every parenting methodology and mindfulness practice out there.

Unfortunately I then ran into huge health issues. I won’t detail them here but I was barely able to work for a few months, and meanwhile the bills needed to get paid. So my bank accounts need topping up and my business is nowhere near profitable.

I won’t be returning to my teaching job. That would be a disaster for my emotional health. Instead I’m taking a content marketing course and plan to freelance in the b2b space.

This feels like a real setback. Sure, freelancing beats working for my soul sucking employers. But I truly believe in my budding little business and I hate having to take this step back.

Anyway, I’m going to keep working at it in whatever time I can spare. And meanwhile I’ll be lurking around these forums.
