Making Mommy Moves

You'll never know freedom like you'll know it after you choose to outsource tasks. This goes for mamas and mompreneurs!

Anything you can imagine is able to be outsourced, and I urge you to identify those tasks that are holding you back and find someone who can take over. Hate cleaning? You can hire a cleaning service. Hours wasted managing social media? Find a social media manager. Yes - these things cost money, but you'll make more money in the long run.

Today's Goals: Identify tasks that you hate or that waste time, then find the right people who can take over these tasks so you can start making even more money doing what you love.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• Assessing the main reasons you tell yourself you can't delegate tasks to others
• Valuing your minute rate higher than what you pay for delegated tasks to reach your money goals
• Hiring the right people so you can comfortably let go of control
• Turning talents and skills into passionate side hustles that can help pay for outsourcing

Husbands, boyfriends, and significant others, we have a PSA from Larry: Get on board, because she's moving with or without you.

This time, we bring Larry back on to give us an inside look at what was going through his mind as the Lyss empire began to take shape. What was he thinking and feeling when Alyssa decided she wanted to stay home with the kids to start up a business rather than go back to her full-time office work? How has he felt his own beliefs, emotions, and mindset evolve as he started to get on board with the idea? What can you take away from this evolution in their relationship?

Today's Goals: If you're making mommy moves, identify how your mindset shift could be affecting your partner, and think about ways you can get them to understand and get on board with your goals. If you're the partner, identify limiting beliefs that could be holding you back from fully supporting your partner's goals and what you can do to get involved.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• How the typical full-time, dual-income family often operates with limiting mindsets
• The effects of changing mindsets in one partner when the other partner isn't on board
• The benefits a couple or family unit can see once both partners move together instead of apart

Have you ever noticed just how much time you spend on your phone distracted instead of taking advantage of time with your kids or getting work done?

I'm the Queen of To-Do Lists, but I still struggle with staying on top of my day, being productive, and still enjoying my free time with my kids to the fullest extent. The biggest culprit? TIME-SUCKERS! If you don't think you'd be satisfied at the end of a long unproductive day, then it's time to pull out the magnifying glass and analyze just what you're doing (or not doing) that's wasting your life away.

Today's Goals: Identify your major time-suckers and start eliminating them from your habits and routine so you can get back to loving your life to the fullest.

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

• Figuring out what your priorities are so you can get your life back on track to reach your goals
• Being honest with yourself about the way you spend your time
• Identifying tasks, habits, and vices that are major time-suckers and getting in your way

Are you a single mom, or do you act like one because your S.O. is away often? Or are you happily married but grew up in a home with a single mom, or do you have friends who are single moms? This podcast episode is for you.

This time, I wasn't able to get my mom on for the interview we had planned - that will come later - but I delve into my own experience growing up with a single mom and what I've learned from it. Ultimately, I want to give you 3 takeaways for how you can support single moms you know because they really do need it.

Today's Goals: Identify the hard-working moms in your life who need a helping hand, even if they'd never reach out and ask for it. Then, dedicate at least one time a month to offering them support, no strings attached.

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

• What it was like to grow up with a single mom, divorce, and moving constantly to stay afloat
• How to support moms by offering them time for self-care
• Assisting your single mom friends in daily chores and tasks that get forgotten or backed up
• Offering a listening, nonjudgemental ear when your single mom friends need it most

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT

• Buying more time
• Mindset- scarcity, limiting, abundance
• Money as a tool
• Hiring employees- in the states and overseas
• Using your talents as a side hustle to outsource less enjoyable tasks
