RE: Quit All Her Previous Jobs 'Cause They Didn't Let Her Wear Flip Flops At Work 🤷😎✌️
Wow, you're a great writer. I love this! I said "no" to business uniforms also. About 4 years ago.
Actually, I said no to 70-hour work weeks, not enough lunch breaks, micromanagement and being trapped in a small room all day long.
I still have 70-hour work weeks...
...but at least I'm trying to do my own dang thing. And sometimes, I don't even make it into flip-flops. Sometimes I just stay barefoot, because my feet like to be free.
It's been a crazy journey. It's been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, insecurity and thrills. I no longer have a stable income. Some months I made more than I used to at my job.
Some months I made almost nothing.
But I keep on pushing because I'm a little crazy and even though I've learned to say no to what I don't want...sometimes I don't take no for an answer haha. I always try to find a way to make something work. If it doesn't, then maybe I'm knocking on the wrong door.
Anyway, can I ask what kind of work you do with your dad? The gardening?
I'd love to have a garden again if I would just settle down in one place long enough lol.
I'm in Bali at the moment. Anyway, LOVE this post!
Barefoot is my preferred method as well :D
Except in places with fireants haha I'm so allergic it's pathetic
Wow, what a nice comment! Thanks a lot for the insights @nomadicsoul.
You pretty much summed it up here:
If I considered Steem being my second job, then I'd definitely reach those 70 hours, too. But it's as you said: if you do what you love, it's a completely different story.
And to answer your question: My dad and I are running a hot pepper seeds production :-) We've got three of these green houses, fully packed with plants.
Again, thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy Bali (been there recently, too) :-)
What kind of hot peppers? My hubbie loves hot peppers, but this seemed to be a bad year in our area for peppers in general.
Thanks for your nice response also! Wow, your dad sounds like an awesome guy!!
I love the entrepreneurial spirit! And I love that it's combined with something healthy and good for the soul like gardening outdoors (or greenhouses...kind of like the outdoors).
