[New] All Bets Are Off When A Loved One Is Sick

This one is much closer to home - this is MY story.

In 1995 my eldest child was diagnosed with leukaemia at a very young age. I can’t begin to explain how it feels to have your world flipped on its head like that. Whilst I wasn’t a business owner at this point, my husband was, and so began the arduous marathon of juggling a gruelling two year treatment protocol.

WHILE trying to raise a child with as ‘normal’ a life as possible.

WHILE staying on my game at my own job.

WHILE taking turns flying our busy 2-year-old boy to Sydney for regular chemotherapy.

WHILE often having him admitted to hospital for a week of IV antibiotics.

WHILE keeping a marriage together and having our next child.

WHILE running a business.

Talk about financial anxiety - I really do get it! Suffice to say, life can suddenly make your plates extraordinarily full at times. What doesn’t break you does indeed make you stronger, but having messy business finances in times like these is an added pressure easily avoided.

That is, when your house is in order.
