✍️While some venture into the unknown, others prefer the safety of what's familiar. In 2016, I launched Wilde Nomad from the 110-square-foot basement of my 1905 bungalow in Denver, initially as a hobby. The arrival of my first son in 2017 meant putting Wilde Nomad on hold, as I juggled motherhood and a full-time job. Yet, I harbored aspirations of eventually turning this side project into my main occupation, allowing me to work from home and spend time with my children. By 2020, amidst my second pregnancy and the onset of the Covid pandemic, I seized the opportunity to leave my 14-year career behind and commit to Wilde Nomad full-time. Now, in 2024, we operate from a 1,200-square-foot space, and there's no turning back. The evolution from a simple hobby to a growing business, starting with baby onesies, has been both challenging and exhilarating. 💪🏼For those contemplating starting a small business but held back by fear, know this: the journey may include burnout, fluctuations, and criticism, but if you find joy and fulfillment in your work, earn some income, and create products that bring joy to others, then you are succeeding admirably. #smallbusiness #motivation #coloradobusiness #grateful #successstory #momswhohustle #grinding #entrepenuer
