It means I’m free during summer, winter, and spring breaks, along with weekends, which is the whole point of building a lifestyle business in the first place. I gave up a handsome paycheck for the ability to always be the one at pickup. I’d probably be far richer if I had kept grinding in finance after the kids were born.
