While Matt and I are currently going through the process of growing our family we have also been experiencing growing pains in another area. Factor 1 is growing like crazy, to put it frankly Matt has been slammed. We have been very busy trying to figure out our next steps and how to do them. We know we need office space soon and we know we need to hire an employee, like last month, but we have nothing in place for an employee yet. I am not writing this as a complaint, I am so thankful for all the business we have and the craziness it brings, it has been a wonderful ride and we never regret starting the business.
Recently Matt got a glowing review and sadly this stressed me out instead of simply being happy for him. All I could think about is all the people that are going to see this and they all are going to want something from my husband and even though he hides it well I know he has been stressed. (After Matt read this he informed me he gets raves on blogs all the time, this one is just more widely read than the others.) I think it is absolutely wonderful that his clients love him and talk about him and pass on his info. I am so thankful that his clients are our best marketers and we honestly don’t have to worry about marketing.
I can honestly say I think we are both more scared of becoming employers right now over becoming parents. It could be because it is happening sooner or because we having an employee just opens up a whole bunch of issues that neither of us have ever dealt with before. I’ll be honest the fear of some sort of lawsuit is there in my mind, you hear about crazy employees who get fired and sue, and that scares me. We are pushing forward though and ready for the challenges that each new step will bring.
Matt doing what he does best:
