Freedom.
Whether it’s time or financial freedom, we’d all love to live our lives with more free time and money in the bank. 👌🏼
But too many of us are stuck with our noses to the grindstone, thinking a never-ending cycle of eat, sleep, work a gazillion hours, repeat, is the only way to achieve this. 🤯
So we called up Lois Cox, a TechPixie who has created a business that allows her to work flexibly part-time so she can prioritise time with her son to show you that with the right skills in place, running a business doesn’t have to be all-consuming.
Lois is also one of the many women who do our Social Media Management Certification training despite not wanting to be a social media manager.
