Susan's Profile | Work It, Mom!

Employment:: I run Hudson Valley Planning and Preservation
Industry:: Consulting
How many hours I work:: 20 to 40 hours a week
How much I like my job:: I love it
How stressful I find my job:: Not very stressful
Best thing about my job:: Being my own boss. I know that this is kind of a cliche saying, but it is true. No more working on projects that I do not like, because I'm the one who agreed on it.
Worst thing about my job:: There is not a down side of the business, but since I work from home, my husband calls me all the time to do little things for his business too, so sometimes I feel like a personal assistant to him, but he loves me being at home.
My dream job:: Working it right now.

Currently on my Life Wish List:

To start a community garden that is organic and handicapped accessable.
Goals I am working on:

I'm going back to school to get my MBA. I'm also in the process of marketing my historic preservation and planning business.
Projects I am working on:

I have been heavy into marketing my historic preservation and planning business. I have made a brochure, and calling contact after contact to spread the word that I'm going on my own. I've also written a white paper, which I will present to any local group that will listen. My first presentation resulted in making a connection with another local independent urban planner, and we submitted a response to an RFP together.
