I'm a stay at home mom, I also run a business.
It's a hard balance, and especially as we prep for school to be out and the beautiful weather, it's about to get even harder.
But to get to our goals we have to stay focused on our vision and the discipline to get there.
I'm far from having it all together, because I'm all over the place, all the time. But when I'm in the zone, I know exactly what gets me there, and it's these five things, CONSISTENTLY!
1️⃣ Schedule - I like to set specific times that I sit down and work. For me, that's at 9am for about an hour and again during naptime. But not every day is that exact and some days it won't even happen during those times and that's okay
2️ If you're like me, your to do list is always a mile long. Not only for business but also as a MOM! Dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. Stop stressing over it all in your head. Brain dump it out, and pick 3 main things to accomplish each day.
3️ If you have a partner, maybe that's them taking over some additional tasks around the house. If you have family around, asking for them to watch the kids so you can squeeze in a 2 hour work session. Childcare, heck I've even dumped mine at our gym's Kidzone when they hosted a mom's day out event, just to get some work done. You can't expect to take on all this additional work to build your business while keeping all the same duties you currently have.
4️ THIS ONE IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT. Take care of YOU, fill YOUR cup. Get away from your kids, do things for you, but also fuel your body so you have the energy and brain power to do all the things.
5️ Sometimes I sit down during my "office hours" and nothing is happening. I sit and get frustrated, continuing to spin my wheels until I burn out which sets me back even further. Step away, unplug & do something fun!
Going from SAHM to being able to financially support myself & my kids has been huge for me personally and I want to help you do the same.
