Last week, we talked about the worst day of our life, a truly terrible experience with a daycare center where they were mistreating our son, and that awful experience with a boss at our workplace that made us say, "Hey, this is not the life for us. We are going to do something else. We are going to find something different."
As much as we wanted to quit our jobs right there and then, we couldn't until we figured out a way to earn and replace our current income.
Check out how we discovered online business, the entrepreneurial struggles, and our heart-stopping 11￠ moment!
