Hi darling! Welcome to the my journal, my journey about my real life, my heart and my travels photographing beautiful souls! Sit back, have cup of tea and stay for a while and be sure to say hello!
Hello, and welcome to my ultra glam list of the Top 10 ways you know if you are a legit creative entrepreneur who works from home.
I mean, if you’ve never done any of these things ARE YOU EVEN a business owner? I don’t think so. Since I’ve worked from home for 6 years helping to build rock star brands, I know a thing or two about the glam work from home life.
Now you too can see if you REALLY ARE LEGIT, (because this list MAKES YOU LEGIT. Yes, it’s that powerful.)
Now, let’s begin- Give yourself one point for each of these things you have done and leave your score in the comments so we can all know, there are other crazies out there….
Let’s begin…
1.) You don’t change your shirt.
It’s totally fine to wear what you wore yesterday. I mean, it’s not even that dirty and doubles as pajamas. Win, win.
2.) You almost drink you coffee from yesterday,
because it’s still sitting at your desk or in the microwave. Bonus point if you actually take a sip.
3.) You are apart of 467 facebook groups
because you NEED to have other people in your life who don’t shower until 3pm. (for more people like that, join mine—> HERE)
4.) When you do actually put on make-up or real people clothes, you feel like Beyonce
and everyone else can have several seat because THAT DAY YOU SLAY QUEEN, SLAY.
5.) You obsessively check your email
the lifeline of communication to see IF YOU BOOKED A JOB. Refresh screen. Refresh screen. Refresh screen.
6.) When you book a client, you do your traditional happy dance
that no one online will EVER see. EVER. You also deny this dance exists.
7.) If you go to a coffee shop, JUST to get pretty coffee JUST so you can instagram it
so other people will believe you actually go places.
8.) You scroll through instagram and wish someone would follow you around and take GORGEOUS photos of you being effortlessly perfect
except you are in your pajamas most of your life and that would mean you have to put on pants.
9.) You wonder daily who ARE those people taking those instagram photos of those girls and why do these girls have a new one EVERYDAY.
Surely it’s not their instagram husbands, because those don’t exist in real life. IH’s (instagram husbands) are magical unicorns of pretend worlds. Don’t wish for one. Wishes are for people who wear pants.
10.) You hate sending invoices
because you would rather be doing ANYTHING ELSE like designing props for your next shoot, throwing glitter, dying your hair, laying on the floor crying, watch reruns of ANYTHING, sitting and doing nothing, reheating your coffee, or pulling our your gray hairs from the last time you had to send invoices.
11.) Your significant other knows THE moment when you need to get out of the house
and go to Target, because your left eye starts twitching. You’ve had no human contact for 8-10 hours straight. GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.
12.) Coffee is your main food group
along with pizza, tacos, mermaid frappuccino and anything else that is a food trend right now that is not actually part of a healthy diet.
Now we score:
1-3 points- You are a boss baby.
Aw! So fragile, so young. Delicate like a little flower. You have yet to cry on your keyboard OR call your boss bestie crying because a client was upset. You’re adorable and we don’t want to scare you away with our left over makeup from two days ago. Stick around with us kid, you’ll go places, like a the coffee shop once a month.
4-6 points- You’re A Bossketeer! (Like a mouseketeer, but bossier) You really want to be legit, even bought the over priced jacket, smeared coffee stains on your shirt, but we all know you showered this morning. You’re makeup probably done too. Hmm look perfect eyebrows. We envy you. We assume you shave everyday, and bake cookies for your kids when they get home. You’re just THAT kind of boss. You’re trying so hard to be hard core you even bought soft white and off white foam boards for your instagram layflats. EVERY ONE OF YOUR LAYFLATS IS PERFECT and we all regram them because, no one does it better than you. Keep doing what you are doing. You’re on the right track to giving up the jacket and going Brittany and Justin on those mouse ear expectations. You’ll join us soon….
7-9 points- You’re A BOSS
You’ve found your sweet spot of boss life, now to spend more time working than looking at other people working. Sure, you’ve refreshed your emails 32 times today but thats because you are meticulous, and really that’s an asset. Your nail polish might be chipped and you might fight between taking a nap and having more coffee, but you are no quitter- You will finish every large pizza you order every Friday and THERE will be thoughts about doing something productive on the weekends. THOUGHTS.
10-12- YOU ARE A LEGIT BOSS
There is none more bossier than you. You fit every stereo type- yoga pants, laundry piled up, snacks as your main food group, cry session on the floor, but your clients LOVE you, and though your hair is 98% dry shampoo you go to sleep every night hoping you won’t have to see anyone the next day, unless it’t your dog or the Target cashier asking you if you want to save 10%. “Why yes, Prince Target, I do want to save money on my new bedding set I didn’t come here for.” And as you unload your Target haul, a trunk full of wine and dollar spot items you realize, this is why I work 57 hours per week as a boss… so I can splurge at Target and have no regrets. NO REGRETS!!!
How many points did you get? ZERO? OMG ME TOO!!!!!!! So glad we are like, not like those OTHER boss babes…
*DISCLAIMER- these 11 facts were not founded on anything I have ever done or felt personally. These were written from what OTHER people have told me about boss life at home. I am also not wearing the shirt I wore yesterday as I type this.
