Your not-so-secret dream is looking less and less like a reality.
(You know, the one where you’re this super successful businesswoman, running a crazy awesome online company, AND the present mom making memories with her kids.)
But you’re not even in the messy middle to get there – right now, it’s more like struggle and hard work and barely-fitting-in balance.
(Plus all those existential WFH doubts.)
Hard stop: don’t believe the lie.
The oh-so-tempting lie that whispers you need to throw in the towel, cancel your clients’ contracts, close out your LLC, and turn back to full-time stay-at-home motherhood.
(You know, to make sure your kids are getting enough quality time with you.)
Is this the reality you want to settle for – constantly wondering “what if” you’d stayed all in on your business?
- Pushed through this rough patch and kept operating your one-woman show?
- Hired a new coach who ACTUALLY understood what you were going through?
- Brought on team who took those crucial 15 hours a week off your plate that made all the difference?
- Found a new ads strategy that let you pay for the housekeeper to come every week and quit arguing about chores with your preteens?
You don’t have to lock yourself in the “hustle or quit” box in marketing – ‘cause there’s always a way to get the “both and” of motherhood and #goaldigger.
You just need to try something that might look crazy, first.
- Like closing up shop for the day when your energy bottoms out, no matter how many DMs are left on your personal outreach list.
- Or canceling the current collab workshop that’s eating up all your spare time and then some because your biz buddy refused to write up the promo posts last minute and dumped them all on you.
- Or even calling a halt to all client calls (and giving everyone one more week of access) ‘cause you’re giving yourself a “catch up on sleep” staycation that DOESN’T involve deadlines!
You need to get out of the “life sucks” rut, get crazy (about how much you’re demanding), and get moving (on that new blockout scheduling) – because nothing changes if nothing changes.
Like for me, when I hit the “2 kids taking college classes plus one kid in middle school plus 2 more learning to read” patch in homeschool, it DID sound easier for a minute to lay off the business, close down the client work, and devote all my time to tutoring/prepping/course correcting for my kids.
But that would have meant taking AWAY something that I looked forward to each day – and I wasn’t willing to accept that.
So I looked for independent solutions for some of my kids (mom can’t drag you through the calculus studying all by herself); told myself that this might be one of those “full” semesters; cut back a teensy bit on content hours; and everything fit again.
And now I have the confidence that everything my kids AND my biz needed from me this month is getting done – not either-or – because I led with MINDSET.
I GET to do both, so it’s GOING to happen.
Which is exactly what I’ll rewire for YOU, too, once you’re in my “get 20 hours back a week” program.
(‘Cause JUST the calendar front isn’t all you need.)
So where do you need to smash past that “can’t have both” lie today?
- Is it in your housework responsibilities?
- Your quality time carve outs for the kids?
- Or in how much you’re willing to delegate to both VAs?
Or is it somewhere else entirely – like your “money ceiling” mindset and “there’s always another business expense” revenue block or that sneaky “never quite funded in the business savings account” expectation?
Find it, journal it, and move through it – ‘cause that’s your path to I-can’t-believe-it’s-this-easy biz strategy that FULLY meets your life stage as a mother.
‘Cause it’s time go out there and embody this.
Let’s find that next right move for you so that you don’t have to waste time flailing about.
Because it’s not fun for you to sit around and have to figure it all out – and I’ve got the shortcut when you’re a short-on-time mompreneur.
DM me when you’re ready to recover oodles of time (technical term!) in your at-home work week.
