Krista Lockwood Built a 6-Figure Business, Now She's Selling It: Here's Why


Listen Later

As entrepreneurs, we pour ourselves into building these amazing businesses, the last thing we'd ever consider is shutting them down, especially when they're doing well. Why would we choose to walk away from something that's actually working?

Well…that's where Krista Lockwood found herself. After building a 6 figure business over the last 5 years, she has decided to sell it and move on.

Our kids change as they grow, and so do we. What lit us up before might not be right for us now, and that's okay.

How did Krista make this huge decision? How do we deal with the guilt and uncertainty that comes with making a big move?

In this episode, founder of Motherhood Simplified, Krista Lockwood returns to talk about the new chapter in her journey, walking away from a perfectly good business and why it's important to align your career moves with your current life phase.

Your business deserves to be loved as opposed to being run by somebody who just isn't excited about it anymore. -Dana Malstaff
