In this episode, I will talk about how to handle difficult people and situations. When we encounter a difficult situation, the most common response is to try to take control or change the situation. Managing them internally instead of externally can give us better results. This simply means putting yourself in a good place mentally and physically and control what you can control. When you’re in a good mental and physical state, things that are outside of you will not bother you as much. The feeling of powerlessness from these situations comes from trying to manage things that are beyond our control.

Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we talk about managing difficult people and situations. It’s a slightly different take, so you don’t have to face difficult people and situations head-on.

Key points:

The reason why difficult people/situations give us feelings of powerlessness is it’s outside of us.

Difficult persons, situations have a greater effect on you if you let them get to you.

Control what you can control. If you’re in a good place mentally and physically, you minimize the effect of these difficult situations.

In this episode, I will talk about outsourcing and delegating tasks. When should you delegate and outsource tasks? The simple answer would be when you feel like it. If there’s something you want off of your plate. Delegating the tasks that you don’t want to do means that you’re freeing time to do the things that you love doing.

Key points:

The best time to outsource or delegate is when you feel like it.

Taking something off of your plate means that you have more time to work on the things that are important to you.

You don't have to justify taking something off of your plate, you don’t have to justify wanting or needing help.

In this episode, I will discuss how the term “Family First” can keep you hold us back on our business. It doesn’t mean not prioritizing our family, but it’s sneaky thought that can often keep us from showing up on our business.

Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we talk about When Family First Keeps You From Working on Your Business and how the term “family first” can hold us back and hold your forward movement back.

Key points:

Family should always be the priority. We have to have the awareness on when to prioritize it over your business.

The term family first is an easy excuse to intentionally skip the things that we don’t want to do, like mundane and repetitive tasks.

Making your family as an excuse can sneak on us without us even realizing it, so it's best to take your time and give it a thought before making a decision.

In this episode, I will talk about why it’s okay not to have it all figured out and why it’s perfectly normal no feel that way. Most people aren’t supposed to have it figured out. Life is a learning experience; even with people who feel that they have it all figured out, there are still nuances, adjustments, challenges that are needed to be addressed. It’s not always smooth sailing. What’s more important is to be flexible and smart, so you come equipped when such instances arise.

In this episode, I will talk about the four lies we likely believe in that can impede progress or get you stuck.

It’s never selfish to invest in yourself. Investing in yourself is an investment in your family and the people around you.

Your business is a real business. Making smart business decisions will mean that you don’t have to trade time for money.

Being successful doesn’t necessarily mean that you shift the balance to your business and reduce your role as a present and loving mom. It’s very possible to be both.
