Breakthrough Ideas, Trial and Error with Michelle McCartney

Episode 81 “When I think of breakthrough ideas, I'm thinking you come up with this idea and you say, “Wow this is something that would have a huge impact on me, my family, and the community to us. …As a mom, I hear that a lot in our moms’ communities where people will reach out to me and say, oh, I've got this really great idea, you know, someone should make it happen. My whole philosophy is why wait for other people to, you know, sit there and put their foot on the gas when you're the one that came up with the idea? You sit there and expect somebody else to do it. So, I always believe that you have a great idea there's a strategy and a whole process that needs to happen but put your foot on the gas and start that process and I've done that numerous times. I that was McCartney bookkeeping that was formed through me being a mom, a stay-at-home mom. And as much as I want to be a stay-at-home Mom, that is my passion in life, as you know, being a mom and being home with my children, you know, but you want to be able to do a lot more with your children. I'd love for my girls to have dance class one day. I'd love for them to be able to do gymnastics. And those things, unfortunately, cost money, or fortunately or unfortunately, right, they cost money. And so being able to work for myself where I can work around my schedule, where I can have a little bit more control of my clients that I'm working with, I don't have a boss to report to, I can really have a lot more flexibility. …It took some trial and error before I found something that stuck and worked.” Michelle McCartney, is a serial entrepreneur who has founded McCartney Bookkeeping and Granite Minds Homeschooling Center.
