The Payments We Owe.

**February 12th**


Today, I am working on my logo for a T-shirt to wear and advertise my business. I'm considering turning down the Krayden job if I am offered it; I've spent too much time worrying and letting jobs dictate how I spend my time. If I'm offered a position at Safeway in Superior, I may take it since it is part-time and allows me to focus on my dog business, which is more important to me. I want to have control over my life and my time.


I’m tired of my neighbor taking advantage of me. I’ve finally decided that I don’t need to feel guilty about saying no to people who want to take advantage of my kindness. I confronted my neighbor, someone I’ve known for a while, and told her that her behavior has been unacceptable. It’s my business, and I have decided to ban her from it.


The last time we had a disagreement, she didn’t pay for my services and even tried to call the cops on me when I confronted her about it. I’ve made the decision to steer clear of her from now on and not let her opinions affect me. It’s disappointing to realize that some people don’t respect boundaries and are willing to manipulate others for their benefit. I refuse to let her or anyone else make me feel bad for asking for the money they owe me.


From now on, I’m choosing to focus on my business and those who appreciate my work.

Embark in the spirit

As a dog lover and experienced pet sitter, I've decided to take the leap and become a full-time working dog sitter. For years, I've navigated the challenges of instability and unexpected career changes, including thoe resulting from my employers' lack of understanding and accommodations for my Hard of Hearing condition (HOH). However, these experiences have not only strengthened my resolve but also given me a unique perspective and skill set that will enable me to provide dedicated and compassionate care to furry friends and their families. I'm excited to embark on this exciting journey, where I can share my passion for animals with the world and build a business thats tailored to my values and strengths.

Working with the boundaries of people pleasing

### Navigating the Challenges of Pricing, Employment, and Personal Growth Hello everyone, Today, I want to open up about some challenges I’ve been facing that many of you might relate to. As someone who has severe hearing loss, I often grapple with insecurities about my job security and the constant fear of being let go due to my condition. This anxiety has led to moments of panic and emotional distress, leaving me feeling overwhelmed. One area that has been especially difficult for me is figuring out how to price my services when it comes to friends and family. I want to succeed and earn a fair wage for my work, but I also don't want to come across as greedy or cheap. Striking the right balance can be daunting, especially when these relationships are involved. ### Finding Your Niche I’ve been reflecting on my desire to break free from traditional employment, especially after experiencing frustrations with bosses and “family-owned” businesses that didn’t always embody the values of...
