I thought I would share some background information about how I got to where I am.

In 2011 I started a child minding business, which I enjoyed immensely and to my surprise was very successful. As time went on it became successful enough that I employed staff which was great. (help at last🤣)

in the meantime I had started at looking at doing an acrylic nail course so I could do my own nails (I’m so blooming fussy) as I couldn't find anyone to do them as I liked them to be done. I found an online course, paid for it and completed it. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this more than I realised. I noticed a couple of local free nail art courses (wow free, 😯I know) for mums, so I thought why not. I signed up and I cant explain just how much I enjoyed doing them. 

I carried on with my childminding business but realised I wasn't enjoying it as much as I used to, as the requirements for recording everything was taking all my time😤 and I wasn't getting to do the fun part, interacting with the children as much. (best part of the job)

After doing my own nails for a while I thought I could start doing a few friends nails, which I did. Then I started thinking I could start earning some extra cash by offering nail appointments, which I did.

By daytime I was a childminder, and evening and weekends I was a nail tech. I started to notice that I was burning myself out, I took a good look at my earnings from both of my businesses and what one was costing me more and also, which one I was enjoying the most. (of course it was the nails)

Well it turns out that I was earning enough to give up my child minding business and do my nail business full time .
