If you’re being honest, what you want MOST as a work-from-home mom is a permission slip.
A “yes, you get to have this all of it, AND you’re allowed to tweak every single thing about your offer suite + business model (not to mention your day-to-day responsibilities on the home front!) till everything fits.”
Because you’ve been living in “client projects never wrap before pickup time” mode for way too long – and you’re finally ready to give yourself something better.
The work/life rhythms that you’d intended to create in the FIRST place (before you got so booked up that you started working overtime in every pocket of your day).
Because you really don’t need more stuff to execute. Stories, reels, 5-day challenges, private podcasts, intakes for masterminds, wait list strategies, blah blah blah….
All they are is more WORK. And you want more SPACE.
(In your workday, your weekend calendar, and your projects pending to-do list.)
Bottom line?
You want a rock solid certainty that a non-hustle pace (which is, honestly, all you can handle in this season without risking adrenal burnout) IS going to net you that “hit my monthly revenue target” satisfaction….
WITHOUT making you drop any important balls on the home front, like missing piano recital ‘cause it was launch week again.
(Or any of the less important but super annoying ones – like re-tidying the pantry so your kids can find the ingredients for spaghetti tonight without you having to march over and do it again.)
Look, I KNOW your personal projects list is FULL of “important but not urgent” tasks that would really smooth out the school-work-pickup-dinner cycle….
….But you just haven’t had TIME to get around to them once you fed the kids, washed the too-stuck-on-for-the-dishwasher forks, packed tomorrow’s school lunches, and fell into bed after a perfunctory “how was your day” plus Netflix round with your husband.
And you’d LOVE to recover Saturday and Sunday from pushing yourself that hard during the workweek, but you forgot you have to drag the kids to all the games and museum trips that being a good mom entails….
Oops, there goes my weekend again.
And now I’m supposed to face Monday with a “full cup,” and somehow be excited to cross off my sales and marketing and client work to-do list.
Yeah, right. In what universe.
Yet this is the reality we work-from-home moms are supposed to cope with – better yet, act like it’s no big deal about – day in and day out.
- No wonder there’s so much burnout among entrepreneurs!
- No wonder there was yet another “I’m shutting my business down” email in my inbox yesterday.
- No wonder most moms feel like they can’t quite keep up – and eventually either their family or their health forces them to make a decision. (I.e., drop the business.)
But this doesn’t have to be you.
And this won’t be your story (unless you choose it).
‘Cause I, for one, am NOT going to give up my purpose – the one thing on earth I was put here to do – just because I couldn’t get it straight on how to STOP doing too much and let my kids be kids.
Not run them to a bazillion sports games.
Not drag them along to yet another church event they don’t even want to go to (when they’re old enough to supervise themselves at home).
Who cares what the elder thinks (if my whole family doesn’t show up).
Who cares how “spiritual” we sound if we let teens opt OUT of optional volunteer activities.
I’m sorry, that’s THEIR choice.
We mandated the church every Sunday morning; we’re not requiring beyond that. Young adults get to make their own decision.
So drop the “I have to bring everyone to everything and we better all be cheerful about it” pressure – DELETE all kinds of things from your outside-the-family life – and watch what happens to your energy batteries as a CEO mom.
This is the kind of anti-cultural, “what’s best for ME and my family” thinking we’re diving into inside my “free up 20 hours per week” program for working moms – because I know the ONLY way to get you working as many hours as you want (purpose, remember?) and spending as much TIME with your kids as you want (those go-by-too-quickly years) – is to rewire your MINDSET to where you believe everything else is at trash level (like, NOT even a factor) when it comes to how you’re spending your calendar hours.
That’s the kind of reset button I’m giving.
‘Cause you and me both, we’re entrepreneurs always looking to uplevel.
Get more efficient.
Cut out what’s not “you” anymore.
So DM me when you’re ready to live the laptop lifestyle on YOUR terms as a working mom.
