In 1995, Marie Temby and her husband Kym began the lifelong adventure of working with the Bakers Delight franchise in Australia. By 2000, they opened two locations, one in Mitcham, and the other in Glenelg. Over the course of their hard work, they also started a family together.
As they did their best to achieve work-life balance, they were guided by the following values: family first, passion, gratitude, health, learning, positivity, rituals, improvement, honesty (promise and loyalty), and spirituality. Managing a business can be tough, but with their priorities in place, they were able to focus on ensuring work was well organized in the interest of keeping family first. From their solid foundation, the rest of their values could flow into ongoing, daily happiness.
In this book, Marie shares the wisdom garnered as she researched and implemented her approach to paperwork, customers, staff, management, and of course, personal life. Through the holistic power of rituals, she accessed simplicity and soul, and this naturally led to success. In the hopes of guiding others to the same fruition, she wrote her story and officially began her next adventure of becoming an author.
Work and family are both important. As a mum-preneur, Marie found a way to keep love, passion, and parenthood a part of that balance. It’s not impossible. It’s a matter of effort and intention. Embrace simplicity. Express your soul. Achieve success as you see it.
