Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Angel McKim, founder, and CEO of Happy Revolutions for Moms of Kids with ADHD, located in Tampa, FL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Happy Revolutions supports moms of kids with ADHD who are overwhelmed and struggling to help their kids find confidence and success. The challenges of ADHD often appear during the school years when kids begin falling behind academically, socially, and emotionally. This new reality can strain home life and family relationships, creating even more challenges to navigate and overcome. Happy Revolutions uses research-based activities to heal relationships and build on strengths, not weaknesses.
Tell us about yourself
I'm a Registered Nurse, Certified Life Coach, and Certified Project Manager. I began Happy Revolutions after struggling to support my own son in grade school following his ADHD diagnosis. I know what it is like to watch your child struggle and not feel confident about how to help them not only in school but for life. It brings me great joy to help other moms transform and heal their families from the inside out.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Having the courage to walk away from a lifelong career (and steady paycheck) in exchange for uncertainty and meaning.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Becoming flexible and efficient so I can work around my family's schedule.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Invest in a person (or company) that has already done something similar to what you want to do. Learn from their mistakes and successes.
- Plan for success and setbacks because there will be both, and you will sometimes be surprised by both.
- Persist - and persist the most on your #1 priority. It's super easy to get sidetracked by all your awesome ideas.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
It's sometimes harder to decide what to stop doing than to decide what to start doing. You only have so much time.
