I used to wake up to sirens and street noise. Now I hear birdsong and wind chimes. 

What a difference a fresh start makes! After years of planning, my husband Mark and I finally moved from city chaos to country calm. We dreamed about it, talked about it, and mapped it out meticulously. Some dreams take time to realize, but they’re worth the wait. 

These days, I’m embracing new beginnings left and right. Mark just built me a chicken coop, and now I have the most entertaining neighbors ever — a flock of hens with Flintstones-themed names who make me laugh daily.  

47 Tasks Your Virtual Employee Can Do for You 

You don’t do this to save money on eggs. When I finally get an egg, it will be way more expensive than anything I could buy. Not economical. I’m simply having fun. And I’ve discovered that “Chicken Math” is a real thing. You will want more than you originally bargained for. I want at least 10 more, but I will be patient and wait. 

Each one has a distinct personality, and watching them turn a pumpkin into a “peck-o-lantern” brings more joy than I ever expected from backyard birds. 

I’m also picking up my paintbrush after years away from the canvas. There’s something powerful about returning to an old joy with fresh eyes. 

But here’s what I’ve learned about fresh starts: They don’t just happen. You have to make space for them. You have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and try something new, even if that something new is actually something old, like my return to painting. 

What fresh start are you dreaming of? Maybe it’s a major life change, like my city-to-country transition. Or perhaps it’s something immediate, like reviving an old hobby or learning a new skill. The question is: What’s stopping you? 

For many business owners, the answer is simple: time. There’s no room for fresh starts when you’re constantly putting out fires and handling endless tasks. Your dreams get pushed aside while you handle the daily grind. That’s where smart delegation comes in. 

At HireSmart Virtual Employees, we help business owners reclaim their time by connecting them with highly skilled virtual employees who can handle those time-consuming tasks. Our VEs undergo extensive training and certification — 40 hours with our team before they ever start with you. We’ve done all the “world-building” when it comes to global hiring, so you don’t have to.
