I have always run towards the opportunities to do the things no one wanted to do and to the opportunities where I got to learn the lessons and gain more skills. It has brought many rewards to me as it is how I went from the photocopy coffee girl to CFO, of a $40 million company, in 3 years at the age of 23-25 years old.
I stayed with that company for 15 years until it wound down. I was learning from all the functions of the business and was given room to practice and learn. My favourite part was learning how to pivot a company of different sizes as it changed over the years.
I used these skills setting up and running our farm in 2013-2022. It was a challenge to "play" with my own money as I was more conservative. I learned a lot with Naked Acres Farmstead and my favourite part was Sales and Marketing. Not a regular niche for accountant types.
I have learned so many transferrable skills that I branched out my skills to writing a homeschooling plan in 2010 for our son with Autism, who had a laundry list of learning disabilities. I never looked at the I CAN'T side of things, but rather focused at what was possible with some hard work.

I have been fortunate enough to accumulate knowledge and experience in so many areas of business, farming and in a wide range of industries that it is time to share this with others. If my family did not have me, we would have been forced to spend money we didn't have just for professional help and advice.
I wanted to find a new way to share other than by kitchen tables and at work. I was tired of working for free, but didn't feel it to be fair to charge families and friends. I have branched out to Social Media and extended myself to mentoring people in areas where they are the experts.
I am going to teach people about accounting, finance and business using the model of a Lemonade Stand, Laura's Lemonade Stand. I will be posting these videos in YouTube and Tik Tok as the months progress. Stay Tuned.
