Hey there!

I hope you've had a productive week! If you are new here, welcome to our Tuesday Swipe File & Case Study.

What is the Tuesday Swipe FIle & Case Study?

Every Tuesday you get a free behind-the-scenes swipe file from a small business owner with the systems, tools, and any hires that helped them build sustainable success.

Be on the lookout for our Friday Roundup with the best in productivity & systems for freelancers and small business owners and our take on how to take action to systematize your business and your life.

Today’s Productivity Stack Interview: Sarah Owen

This week's Productivity Stack comes from Sarah Owen. Our interviews work a little differently than our case studies! In them, freelancers, small business owners and founders tell us how they started their business and grew it and how they managed their time (and everything else) along the way!

You’ve probably heard some version of a similar story – struggling in a soul-sucking corporate job, starting a family, and secretly wanting to do something not quite like the typical career path of your peers. Sarah Owen stuck it out for 12 years in her corporate accounting job before giving her passion for photography and creating her own business a chance. Now she has a part-time business she loves that allows her to raise their young children while also contributing financially to the family.

Read on to find out how she made the leap to being an entrepreneur, the early days of her business, and how she is growing her photography venture. We learn from her about the tools and people that have helped her along the way, and how she deals with many of the challenges that budding and growing business owners are faced with.

Check out this interview where she shares how she took the leap into becoming a business owner, the challenges she faced and overcame, and swipe her Productivity Stack in our interview.
