As a wife & mother of four who started a small business a few years ago, I get this question a lot “What are some of the best tips you can give as an entrepreneur and mom?”
The question comes in many forms and I understand why they add the mom part. There are additional challenges and mindset blocks that come up when you’re a mother. #Momguilt is real.
Here’s a list of Top 10 that has helped me so far.
- Wake up before the kids to do stuff for yourself. Your mood will thank you. 😅
- Your mindset is important, have an attitude of gratitude, welcoming abundance. (I pray and I’m grateful for the blessings).
- Find a business model that works for your life. (Look up Passive Income.)😉
- Protect your yeses and be intentional with what’s in your calendar. Work smart, time is a resource you can’t get back.
- Never be afraid to ask for help. Find your tribe, mentors, coaches and other positive like-minded and supportive people.
- Show up and see each challenge as an opportunity to experiment and play. #justintimelearning
- Be a student. Quickly implement what you learn. – it’s the best way to get better.
- Have time to rest and celebrate your successes. “Celebrate the joys in the Now”.
- Fear will keep you from doing extraordinary things. Some fears are made up in your mind, clarity and action will bring forth courage.
- The loudest boos come from the cheap seats. Keep going!! Run your own race. Things take time.
I also want to point out that we all go through different seasons of life and motherhood. We can’t compare our journey with others. Give yourself grace.
Let’s enjoy our children in every stage. Remember “Your Greatest Why”.
