I Like How You Treat Your Family

After working in our home business, I took some time to put our home together. You see we recently moved and a lot still remains in boxes. I do a little each day and took the opportunity to get my kitchen completely put together. It took many hours but it's done and now I can focus on other rooms.

I also took the time to sit and talk with my business coach about how things are going as well as my frustrations. She shared with me that our coaching time is nearing its end which saddened me. She then shared with me that I am right on target for our business and she's pleased with the progress I've made over the past 4 months. A lot has been accomplished and a lot remains but every part has been and will continue to be worth every minute.

After my coaching session I spent time with our 5 and 6 year olds who had to see the dentist. We've been interviewing pediatric dentists but have not found what we are looking for. The dentist we saw this time suggested that we stay with our family dentist as our children are able to sit still long enough for the entire process. This we will do.

Why do I tell you all of this? After arriving back home I was busy getting some things done while our two youngest children took a bath. My tender hearted red head (our 5 year old) looked at me and said, "I love you mommy" to which I responded in kind then he said something that stopped me in my tracks and gave me pause. He said, "and I like how you treat your family."

How do you respond to that? I stopped immediately and gave him a huge hug. Now you must understand that this is the child who is usually telling me that I'm mean and that I hate him. These statements usually come after I've had to discipline him for hurting someone so hearing these words come out of his mouth brought tremendous joy and love to my soul.

What does this have to do with anything? Why am I writing an article about it? It made me wonder "does my business team understand how much I care about them?" Do they understand that I do care about them and their families? Their trials? Their goals? Their struggles? Them?

I had the opportunity to talk with some members of our team just the other day and each one did express their gratitude for being in business with someone who cares more about the person than the business relationship. This comment from my son has confirmed that I have made some definite positive work within my life because it is positively effecting both our home and our business.

Momentum is building. I can feel it as it gets stronger and stronger and as life becomes filled with more resistance. I am grateful for the resistance because I know that things are changing and shifting. Our goal to get out of debt is happening -- slowly -- but it is happening. We are starting to live in ways other than those involving finances. We are enjoying our online business and the increased level of dreams that come with it.

We are starting to see abundance in other areas of our lives as well. Our family relationships are becoming stronger. The arguing and fighting that is normal in a home with this many children has diminished greatly. The spirit in our home is different as we continue down the road to financial freedom. The shift has brought so many blessings they hard to name right here and now.

We will continue to grow as we continue down this path to prosperity. My goal is to hear our growing business team say to us, "We like how you treat your business family."
