Momprenuer Management
Time Management...
...is a whole 'nother science for moms---especially those who are also homeschooling or
building a career at home. It often seems that our to-do list is never ending. Ask any
work-at-home mom and she'll tell you that the most difficult challenge faced as we
transitioned from our corporate jobs into self-employment was learning to manage our
time effectively and efficiently.
Stop trying to fit your life into someone else's calendar.
Contrary to what some time management experts will tell you, we DO NOT all have the
same amount of hours in a 24 hour day. While all moms struggle with managing their time
to adapt to the demands of personal, family and professional priorities simultaneously,
moms who run their own businesses have even more to squeeze into the same 24 hours
per day.
If anything, mompreneurs have learned to defy the laws of time, bringing the rest of small
business to its knees.
A new perspective of time.
We were drawn into self-employment because we sought the ultimate flexibility without
the guilt and hierarchical corporate career pressure to perform at all costs. Having more
time, however, the very thing that attracted us to this lifestyle--- when not managed
wisely---often results in our biggest frustrations.
In addition to buying into unrealistic expectations, most moms take on too much which
results in less time to spend on things they value most. Pair that with high expectations,
conflicting priorities, juggling hundreds of tasks and projects...and... ---wait--- why did we
decide to come home again?!
Time Management... from the INSIDE- OUT.
Your daily productivity determines your success. The sooner you learn to use your time
well, the sooner you will achieve success. In the corporate world we were paid for our
time, but in our entrepreneur world we are paid for PRODUCTIVITY. Once we adjust our
mindset to this intention, a few time management tricks will make all the difference!
