What I learned from my past work experience
I used to be in Advertisement for 8 years. Talking with clients, creating something nice, working together in a team of professionals, being in a creative environment, and doing many different projects at the same time. My role was project & account management. I still love this world. I like to pressure, the deadlines, the hectic, the clients, and the fact that no day is the same.
At the same time, I don’t believe in long hours anymore. I love it that I can put my time in the places I value more than work at the office.

But let’s face it…. when you’re working for a boss, you are working on their dreams, not yours. Before you jump into this entrepreneurship or working as a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom), just be aware of the things nobody tels you. And if you have already, you probably recognize those challenges.
