A Tenacious WFH twist on Labor Day
|
This Labor Day, Celebrate Your Work Hey Reader, Labor Day (which officially is tomorrow in the U.S., but don't we all make a whole weekend out of it?!) usually makes us think of cookouts, parades, and the official end of summer. But at its core, this holiday was created to honor the contributions and achievements of workers. And that means you, too. As a tenacious work-from-home entrepreneur, it’s easy to skip right past the holidays, to blur Monday into Friday, or to downplay the labor that goes into building your business from your kitchen table, spare room, or backyard office. But the work you do matters. The hours you put in matter. Your labor matters. This weekend, I want you to pause for a moment and recognize yourself:
You deserve to be celebrated! Your Action Step this WeekTake a few minutes this Labor Day weekend to recognize your own work.
Because the truth is, you are the labor force behind your dream. And that is worth honoring. Here’s to a Labor Day that reminds you of your own strength and tenacity. You’ve earned it!

Build Your WFH Confidence One Decision at a Time Reader, if you’ve ever wished someone would just tell you what the right next move is in your WFH business — you’re not alone. Whether it’s tweaking your offer, posting that reel, or finally raising your rates, every WFH entrepreneur hits that “I’m not sure” wall.

Here’s the truth: a bad week doesn’t erase your progress. Just like sourdough starter rises, falls, and...
Systems Are the Secret to Sustainable WFH Success Reader, if you’ve ever tended a garden, you know this truth: growth doesn’t come from a single big push. It comes from small, steady rhythms — watering, pruning, weeding, supporting — done consistently over time. Your work-from-home business is no different. It’s not just about hustling harder. It’s about creating systems that sustain you for the long haul. Why Systems = Sustainability When you don’t have systems, every task requires a fresh...
