Do you work at home?
Yes!
How many children do you have?
2.
How many hours do you work a week?
15 to 20 hours.
Tell us a little bit about As Such Communications and your services and how you got started.
As Such Communications started as a way for me to be home with my kiddos, keep my brain thinking about something other than Disney, interact with other professionals, and contribute fiscally to our family.
We offer full-service communications programs ranging from communications strategy and budgeting to specific communications programs such as PR, Graphic Design, Social Media programs, Website redesign and Event Planning.
How would you rate your success from 0 – 10?
Interesting question, Holly. I have a hard time qualifying that with a number because I feel that I have been extremely successful at starting a business that fits with our current needs. That being said, there is always room for growth and ways to improve. So while I would like to say “10!”, I don’t feel that anybody should because then they are leaving no room for growth and improvement. Let’s give it an 8. :)
How do you manage all of your personal and business activities?
Sometimes by the seat of my pants and my two calendars: iPhone and wall. I have also learned to set boundaries and create time for each. Sometimes they overlap, but I try to not let that happen.
What has been your biggest business struggle?
Finding the time and money to network. Social media has really changed all of that for me. In the past 6 months, my network has exploded and I only see it growing from here!
What are your 3 favorite websites or blogs?
Admittedly, I do not read a lot of blogs regularly. Just not a lot of time for that and my reading time is spent before bed snuggled up with a book or magazine.
I do enjoy these blogs/sites when I have a chance:
What advice would you give to a new entrepreneur?
1.) You cannot be afraid to just jump, but know when to, and don’t be afraid to, reach out and ask for help.
2.) Don’t be afraid to make changes/adjustments
3.) Think creatively and out of the box: look for a problem and be that solution!
