32. The realities of trying to grow a business and a family

I’ve coached hundreds of mums in business and every single one of them has felt the push-pull between life and work.Most of us are desiring both a successful career and being a present, loving mama. But let’s face it, it’s not always easy.Trouble is, most mums often find themselves in a state of overwhelm because they’re trying to do business:The exact same way they did before they had kids.Like women who aren’t mums.How they did things when their kids were small, but now things have changed.As a mum, it is possible to grow your business and your family at the same time, but you absolutely have to do things differently. You need a business model that supports this season of your life and prioritises what is important to you in this specific mama era.In this episode, I share with you some of the decisions I’ve made [the good and the bad] throughout the last 3.5 years of juggling motherhood and business. How I pivoted my business when I had my first baby, how I tweaked and refined my offers and sales process when I had my second. And how things are different again now I am working from Europe.To support you in refining your own business for motherhood, here’s some of the questions I’m asking myself right now so I can make my business work for me:What is it specifically that feels hard, heavy or challenging right now?Is there anything I can press pause on right now?How can I better use the support of my team to take the pressure off?Where can I implement a new system or process to streamline things or save me time?Are there things I can ditch completely because they don’t align with this season of my life?My new program Like A Mama is available now!
