Promote Yourself to CEO | Small Business Strategy for Women Entrepreneurs

I wanted to share with you today a little bit about how we manage to plan the business around our family, because this is our focus. 

It hasn’t been an accident.

But I have to say that looking back over it, I could give you a lot more perspective now on what worked, what didn’t work, and how I continue to move forward as the mom of three little people.

My little people now, the twins, Julie and Alex, are seven. They’re going into second grade this year. It’s really exciting. My littlest guy, Mitchell, is four. He’ll be going into preschool next year. It’s been quite an adventure having these little people.

I hope this will help anybody, not just mom entrepreneurs, but dad entrepreneurs, too.

Want more balance in your life & biz? Make space for what matters!

Thankfully, you don’t have to sacrifice your health, family, happiness, or spirit to have a successful thriving business and happy family.

And it all starts by understanding the true meaning of BALANCE.

Too often, we find ourselves scrolling through the insta-perfect photos of other mamapreneurs who seem to have it all together. Their homes are Pinterest perfect. Surely their gluten-free vegan dinners are delish. And their fitspo photos? Really – who looks that perfect when you’re supposed to be sweaty?

It’s so easy to forget these photos are just a snapshot, a one-second peek into their lives. And that one-second peek? It’s an illusion of balance.

Balance is a VERB.

Too often we believe that if we just find that one time management trick, we’ll finally break the code to achieving balance. We’ll have the right ratio of work to family to health. And life will magically be happily ever after. 

Balance is challenging! 

Just the physical act of balancing tells you everything you need to know. Try something as simple as standing on one foot. Many people can’t balance on one foot for long without starting to wobble and reaching for some support!

After working with hundreds of heart-centered entrepreneurs… I’ve seen a pattern that many of us buy into {that’s actually setting us up for insane amounts of stress and anxiety in our businesses}.

While we all want to create a business and life we love, I see many of us DELAYING the life we love because we believe that FIRST we’ve gotta work our fingers to the bone to create a successful business.

Turns out – you can live a life you love. RIGHT NOW.

And the best part?

When you start living a life that you LOVE – your business will instantly up-level to support it!
