On today’s episode of Ditch the Classroom, I’m giving you tangible tips on how to hold yourself accountable in your new business. As a mom and/or teacher, it can be easy to let your business fall to the side and let other things in your life take priority. But in order to become a work at home mom and spend more time with your children, then you have to make your new freelancing/virtual assistant business a priority.

Throughout the episode I’m walking you through how to manage your tasks in both your personal life and your business, and also sharing a free gift to help y’all stay on track throughout your week. You can grab the freebie at ariannavernier.com/free-weekly-planner

On this episode of the Ditch the Classroom podcast, we’re discussing the importance of establishing your why behind your business. As a business owner, you’re in charge of getting your work done, and don’t necessarily have someone reminding you to work on or in your business. Establishing your why helps you stay on track towards your goals even when you don’t feel like it and gives you that push to continue working on or toward your new business and become a work at home mom so you can spend more time with your children.
