Making Mommy Moves

As a mompreneur, it's essential to set goals for yourself- both in your business and in your personal life. By setting goals, you can push yourself to achieve new heights and experience a greater sense of fulfillment. However, it's important to remember that goals should also be challenging. After all, the feeling of overcoming a difficult goal is one of the most satisfying experiences we can have as humans. So don't be afraid to push yourself- set goals that are ambitious and outside of your comfort zone. With hard work and determination, you'll be surprised at what you can achieve.

Today`s Goal: First, take some time to think about what you want to achieve. Whether it’s launching a new product, increasing your sales or losing 20 pounds, be specific about what you want to accomplish. 

Next, write down your goals. Studies have shown that people who write down their goals are more likely to achieve them than those who don’t. 

Finally, create a plan of action. What steps do you need to take to reach your goals? Make sure your plan is realistic and achievable – then get started! 

Remember, accomplishing goals isn’t always easy but it’s definitely worth it. Not only will you feel proud of yourself, but achieving your goals will also give you the confidence to take on new challenges in the future. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!

Larry and I have been struggling with the terrible twos these days. We've been smacked in the face with our own behavior and are quickly realizing we need to nip our actions in the butt because it is affecting our oldest daughter greatly.

One thing we forget is that she is only two years old. She acts so mature for her age - speech, learning, her speaking full sentences, it just amazes us that sometimes she emotionally acts the way that she does. Lately, we've been noticing she's been craving more of our attention... so you know what that means she's doing? Tantrums... Hitting... Bullying... Coming out of her room and nap-time and bedtime... Anything to get a big reaction out of us.

So, something we've learned and that we're starting to implement is that we need to change OUR behavior. She's learning from us!

Boy, that's a smack in the face, right?

We need to change our behavior to encourage better learned behavior on her part... So this may look like ignoring a tantrum or hitting someone, and instead praising the good behaviors she does all of the time... It might look like making bed time more enjoyable and a quality-time focused event where we make it enjoyable for her and give her more autonomy so there is less of a power struggle by asking her questions that make her feel like she's in control. Or giving her the power to say "night night book, instead of just taking it away."

Demonstrating more emotionally intelligent behavior, speaking to her nicely, and treating her with respect is going to yield a far greater outcome than yelling, spanking, or taking away her toys... You know what that will teach her? To yell, hit when she doesn't get what she wants, or to take a toy away from another child.

So, this realization came in one of OUR late night talks because it's been a real problem. And we want to be solution focused, not place blame on one another, and be the best parents we can be for our girls.

So, if you are having some difficulties with your kids I want to give you some key practices to work through with your partner... Because you two need to be united in your parenting so that you are consistently providing the same example behavior and encouraging the same good behaviors.

1. I want you to write down three behaviors you've noticed in your kids that are troublesome.
2. Now, I want you to write down three behaviors you are doing that may be teaching them each of those troublesome behaviors.
3. Now, talk with your partner about these behaviors you're demonstrating and how it correlates with the behavior your child is showcasing.
4. How are you going to be better today?

Self-sabotage is when we do things that hold us back from reaching our goals. It can be something as small as procrastinating on a project or as big as quitting a job. Most of the time, self-sabotage is fueled by fear. We may be afraid of failure, or of success. We may be afraid of change, or of staying the same. Whatever the case may be, self-sabotage is toxic. It keeps us from moving forward, and it can have a major impact on our mental and emotional health. If you find yourself self-sabotaging, it's important to take action. Talk to a therapist or counselor, and try to identify the root cause of your fear. Once you understand what's driving your self-sabotage, you can start to work on making positive changes in your life.

Today`s Goal and Note:

• Self-sabotage comes in many forms.
• What do you think when you hear self-sabotage?
• How to get back into the swing of things when you lose momentum.
• Take note of the things you are trying to sabotage and the ways that you are sabotaging it.
• What’s something we can do to make our lives better?

Alyssa and Larry emphasize the importance of not waiting until you're older to do something for yourself, like starting a business. They also emphasize that if you're a professional worker, you have the right to charge whatever you want to charge. This is an important point because often times we can be hesitant to start our own businesses or to negotiate our salaries because we feel like we're not worth it. However, Alyssa and Larry remind us that we are in control of our own lives and we should never sell ourselves short. Starting your own business is a great way to take control of your life and your career, and it's never too early to start planning for your future. So don't wait any longer, get out there and make your dreams a reality!

Today`s Goal: Take the plunge and start your own business now, while you still have the energy and drive to make it a success. By doing so, you can enjoy the fruitssooner rather than later.

Episode Highlight

• You have the right to charge whatever you want to charge 
• Why you shouldn’t under-charge.
• Don’t wait until you’re out of your job to start your business.
• Don`t bet on the future in a 9-to-5.
• Don’t let the fear of failure stop you.

It's no secret that parenting and work can be a tough balance. But when you factor in running a business as well, it can sometimes feel like you're being pulled in a million different directions. And unfortunately, there are always people who are quick to judgement, whether it's because they think you're not spending enough time with your kids or you're not giving your all to your business. But the truth is, every situation is different. And as long as you're doing what's best for you and your family, that's all that matters. So don't let anyone else tell you how to live your life. You know what's best for you and your loved ones. And as long as you keep that in mind, you'll be just fine.

Today`s Goal:  When it comes to judgement, trust your gut and go with your instinct. You know what you're doing and you know why you're doing it. And chances are, you're going to do great.

Episode Takeaways:

05:07 - With all of that in mind, we still have the time like the quality time with them. At home, when we have dinner when we have bath time when we read books before bed, when we go to the park when we go for ice cream dates, like we make sure that we have quality time.

07:00 - We've got tools in place. We've got systems in place, we've got people to help us like, exactly, ultimately, like running businesses comes down to trying to systemize everything.

08:34 - People that act differently towards you when you start going on your own path it's not the judgment, but it's just the way that the temperature of the room changes.

13:50 - Everybody's like, you have so much competence. It's like, I really don't, but I'm just pretending like I do. I'm acting as if because if I act as if it's gonna happen and it's gonna become a pattern, and I'm gonna feel that way more often and it's just going to be many things.
