Serendipity
That’s an awesome word, isn’t it?
It’s meaning in the Cambridge Dictionary: “the fact of finding interesting or valuable things by chance”
It sums up the creation of Lake Mac Family Life in every sense. When I’m asked for the story behind the biz, this is the word I use.
I had no intention of starting another online business, and to be completely honest, I didn’t even tell my husband until I could verify it with the parents of Lake Mac.
After about 48 hours of research, I could clearly see the hole in the market.
I knew how disconnected our families and businesses were in Lake Mac because I was one of them. We have a local business and a young family so I knew there was nowhere to connect.
I’m not the kind of person who easily walks away from opportunity. I tend to do the opposite and move towards it, even if I know the pressure that goes with it.
Lake Mac Family Life is what my whole career has been leading towards. I didn’t know it at the time, but I knew it felt right.
