Yesterday, chances are many of you may have celebrated Mothers’ Day with your families, the day when they acknowledge and appreciate what you do for them each and every day. The cards may have been lovingly made and written, perhaps cupcakes baked, maybe even breakfast in bed appeared at an unearthly hour in the morning accompanied by your eager children’s faces. But these days, if you are an entrepreneur and a mom too, then it’s just as likely that your day of celebration was spent juggling precious family time and work time - that’s just the reality. And the rise of the mompreneur suggests that this scenario is only set to grow. So, if you are waking up this morning wondering how to make your own business life and home life work at a practical level, then here are a few practical tips. Set perfection aside; be present in both your work and home life and stop trying to multitask 24/7; know your why - you have to believe in the reasons you are doing all of this; get the whole family to buy into what you are doing; lose the guilt and stay positive; and above all, take time to enjoy this crazy mompreneur life you have chosen.
Have yourself an inspired entrepreneurial day! - Melanie
