After working for decades and staying quiet about my personal pursuits, I've finally decided to open up and share what I do after work, particularly focusing on building my business. For over ten years, I've been on LinkedIn, but I wasn't comfortable sharing much about myself or my business. I was worried about what my employers might think or say. However, I've reached a point where I realize the importance of owning my journey and sharing it with others.

Working for an employer for so many years made me understand one crucial thing: no matter how much dedication and effort you put into your job, you are often seen as just another employee, a number in the company's vast system. This realization hit me hard when, despite my commitment and contributions, I was let go. It was a wake-up call that led me to reassess my priorities and the way I was living my professional life.

Now, I'm stepping out of the shadows and sharing my experiences and my business through my lifestyle blog. This decision wasn't easy, but it feels right. I no longer care about what others might think. It's my life, my business, and my story to tell.

After work, my focus shifts entirely to my business. I have always been passionate about animal advocacy and pet wellness. This passion led me to build pawTree Doggie Delight, an organic, holistic brand that provides wholesome ingredients for dog and cat food. The brand was developed with the expertise of a veterinarian and a nutritionist, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of pet health and nutrition.

Each evening, after a full day of work, I dive into my business activities. Marketing is another significant part of my evening routine. I spend time creating content for our social media platforms, engaging with our customers, and responding to their queries.

Building a strong online presence is essential for any business today, and I enjoy connecting with people who share the same passion for pet wellness. Through my posts, I share tips on pet care, updates about our products, and stories about my own pets, Bailey and Gracie. These interactions not only help promote my business but also build a community of like-minded individuals.

Writing for my lifestyle blog is another critical aspect of my after-work routine. My blog covers various topics, including my personal journey, business insights, food and travel from my culture and tips on pet care. I believe that sharing my experiences can inspire and help others who might be in similar situations. Writing has always been a therapeutic outlet for me, and through my blog, I can express myself and connect with my readers on a deeper level.

Another significant part of my routine is managing the financial aspects of my business. With twenty years of experience as a banking business development professional, I have a solid understanding of financial management. I handle budgeting, planning, and ensuring that the business remains financially healthy. This involves analyzing sales data, forecasting future trends, and making informed decisions to drive growth.

Customer feedback is invaluable, and I take it very seriously. Each evening, I review feedback from our customers to understand their needs and preferences better. This helps me improve our products and services continuously. I also work on new product ideas, brainstorming ways to expand our offerings and provide even more value to our customers.

In addition to these tasks, I also focus on self-care. Balancing a career, a business, and personal life can be overwhelming, so it's essential to take care of myself. I make time for activities that help me relax and recharge, such as reading, journaling, or spending quality time with Bailey and Gracie. These moments of relaxation are crucial for maintaining my mental and physical well-being.

Why now, you might ask, have I decided to share all of this? The answer is simple: I realized that life is too short to live in fear of what others might think. My experiences have taught me that I need to take control of my narrative and live authentically. I no longer want to hide behind the fear of judgment. Instead, I want to embrace my journey and share it with the world.

Through my blog and social media platforms, I am now boldly telling my story. I want to inspire others to take charge of their lives, pursue their passions, and not be afraid to share their journeys. Building my business has been a rewarding experience, and I believe that by sharing my story, I can help others navigate their paths more confidently.

After decades of working for others and staying silent about my own pursuits, I am finally sharing my experiences and my business. I have learned that it's essential to own your journey and not be afraid to tell your story. My business, pawTree Doggie Delight, books and journals in Amazon is a reflection of my passion for writing, animal advocacy and pet wellness. Through my lifestyle blog, I am sharing my journey, insights, and tips with others. It's my life, my business, and my story, and I am now proudly sharing it with the world.
