I am still fairly new to this business, but I currently have two clients in my portfolio. Maxwell Inc. and Evan Enterprises. My partner, also known as my husband Justin and I are considering taking on a third client, but for now are keeping busy with the two we have currently. Justin has another full time position with another company, so I am the primary caretaker of this company.
My partner Justin begins his day around 6:00 am. and is out the door to his other job around 7:00 am.
My mornings usually start off with a scheduled meeting with Evan Enterprises, around 8:00 am. He sometimes shows up early, but I'm always prepared for that.
Around 9 am Mr. Maxwell --of Maxwell Inc -- is in the office ready to begin our day. We usually head down to the kitchen office where I have a variety of breakfast options. Both Mr. Maxwell and Evan have a nice casual breakfast with one another, making business plans while I usually prepare myself some coffee for the work day ahead.
Between the hour of 10 and 11 both Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Evan are usually (but not always) in a meeting with Mr. TV of the Broadcast group. This gives me time to catch up on e-mails,phone calls and random paperwork.
After their morning meeting, the clients and I usually spend some time going over portfolios, drawing up new plans, or just brainstorming.
We break for lunch at about 12:30 pm. Both clients are usually fairly easy to please with the choices I give. Occasionally Mr. Max or Mr. Evan will complain, but I usually can coax them into the deliciousness of the meal provided.
By 1pm Mr. Evan has another meeting at his office at Evan Enterprises in which he is usually gone for an hour or two. He must work very hard, because when he arrives back at our office he is a bit disheveled and his eyes are glassed over.
During the time that Mr. Evan is absent, Mr. Maxwell and I go over his portfolio which is quite colorful and spend time working on blueprints at the train table. Sometimes we take a break with Mr. Play-doh who always gives us a good laugh with his entertaining ways.
Sometimes, between the hours of 2 and 4 pm the Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Evan and I spend time at some of the places we have investments in such as; Kroger, Fresh Market, Whole Foods, and Target. We occasionally visit our smaller investments of; Marshalls, Old Navy, Gap, and T.J. Maxx. We would like to expand our investments in all of the companies but more time and money is required and we are (and should be) quite satisfied with the profits we have received.
If we've spent the afternoon out we usually arrive home where I begin preparing for the nightly meeting of the whole company. Mr. Evan and Mr. Maxwell usually spend time in the drawing room, working at the train table, or perhaps they will have a meeting with Mr. DVD. He is a nice guy who can almost always keep the clients calm and in order.
Around 6 pm my partner arrives to our office where we all sit down for a nice meal together while we discuss our progress for the day and the future of our company. After the meeting, my partner/husband usually spends time the clients while I spend some time organizing and cleaning up the office.
Sure occasionally we have a few nights out, perhaps an out of the office meeting, or other engagements. But the nights we spend in we usually wind down by having a relaxing time filled with an array of activities to keep all partners happy.
By 8 pm Mr. Evan is ready to check out of the office for the day, and by 8 :15 after I read through some final documents with him, he is officially out of the office.
By 9 pm Mr. Maxwell has been gone through some documents of his choosing. He does work late some nights, but he too is usually officially checked out of the office by 10pm.
As for me, my day is not over quite yet. I usually have some odds and ends to tie up, but my partner/husband and I try to spend some quality time together before we too check out for the night. Usually we clock out for the night around eleven or midnight.
Most nights are peaceful and pleasant but occasionally we get the late night calls from Mr. Maxwell or Mr. Evan. They just want to feel secure in their investment in us, and we always reassure them they are in good hands.
The days in my job may be long, tiring, and sometimes can seem so mediocre. I definitely don't do it for the money,but I would never trade this job for any other…because I can almost always count on the job being exciting and it certainly is rewarding even if it may not always feel that way.

So cute and creative! Hope Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Evan are being calm and industrious in their work today.
Cute post, Anne! So ... maybe a third client in the future? :-)
I am in AWE as I read this post. You are so creative with your writing. I feel like I am sitting in your "office" watching all this happen. I love it. :):) Very fun!!!!
So cute. You are one busy women :)
Maybe baby number 3? Why don't you try it and then let me know how having 3 is.
This was really, really cute! I loved it.
Yes, Anne, go ahead and bring that 3rd partner to your team and let us all know how it turns out. You may find that your portfolio isn't what you quite imagined....
:-)
Love it! Too cute!
Mr Maxwell and Mr Evan's investments are in good hands!
ok I said CONSIDERING...not that we were!!! I am waiting to hear a report back from Bethany and to hear from Ashleigh after her thrid one arrives. :)
Okay, so I have 4. All of which are 4 and under the youngest being 6 months and I am sick with an illness doesn't allow me to do a lot of things that most mothers can do with their children. However, I have to say having my third and my fourth was the best decision. Even though I didn't get to make the decision. I was trying not to get pregnant and God had other plans :):) I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. God always knows what he is doing. It is at times very trying, but at the end of the day I am so happy and excited to have the pitter patter of so many feet in my house. I always wanted a large family. I don't think physically I can and should have any more, but I am so happy I have been blessed with the 4 I have so I say GO FOR IT!!!! Add that third client. I bet you won't regret it not one day. :)
aww, I love this baby talk, so awesome to see mom's excited about their little ones!
Anne: to answer your question from your comment on my post about the Christmas cards - I upload my pictures to both smugmug.com and snapfish. Since Smugmug I pay for and it's an online album, with a web address and all, I like them a little better and decided to use their template for the Christmas cards. It actually wasn't expensive at all! I got 100 cards with envelopes for around $50 including shipping. I was really happy with their choices of templates and such. They have great customer service and my pictures have always gotten here very quickly, too! I get shots blown up and they are incredible. Anyway! Have a great Sunday!
I am marking this to come back and read. Haven't had much computer time lately and well Adelee is starting to cry so I gotta run.
Anne - this post was awesome! You are so creative, I love it :-) I might have to try my own story...I think it would read very similiar to yours!!
