Mom Biz Solutions with Lara Galloway, The Mom Biz Coach

Recently someone asked a question about competition, so here we go. When it comes to your business, it can be easy to get caught up in obsessing over your competition and spending too much time, energy, and even money "keeping up with the Joneses". Healthy competition is just that: healthy. It keeps you moving forward, motivated, and inspired. If that's not how you're feeling, you may be looking at your competition all wrong.

As mompreneurs, we're working up against a lot of traditions, stereotypes, and our own ideas about what it means to be an entrepreneur. If we're coming from a "traditional" job, we may be hung up on how many hours (8+) per day we HAVE to work. On the other hand, we live in a society where the word entrepreneur conjures up images of people working 80+ hours a week to live their dream. Well, let's get real. A lot of the reason we started our own businesses is so we can be FREE from all of that! So let's look at this mindset and drill down to where it's keeping you from moving forward. Hint: you can take a vacation, you can take a weekend off, you can be with your family.
