Being an entrepreneur is a full-time job. Being a mother is a full-time job & Being successful mompreneur is the most rewarding thing in the world.

Choosing between looking after  a baby and taking an urgent client call is never easy. may bring you down on your knees sometimes, urging you to trade one dream for the other. Nonetheless, you must hold on! 

 As a mompreneur, your employees and their families are your family, too. You are responsible for providing for your own children, but also for your work family and their children. 

Mompreneur are very aware of our ever-expanding family headcount, and it pushes us to be at the top of our game. Not just for ourselves, but for everyone who’s counting on us.

Own that inner strength and use it to your advantage, because it is your advantage.

 Being a woman entrepreneur may be one of the most challenging jobs in the world , but being a (mom & entrepreneur) is more so .But lets see here the 5 Tips that will help you balance, succeed and Master Both worlds.

1. Acknowledge your strength.

Women possess unbelievable inner strength. When you become a mother, that strength becomes otherworldly. Everything changes. Your why changes. As we become newly cognizant, our entire awareness of the world changes. We are hyper-aware of how we interact with the world, and how it affects our children. Our understanding gives us strength, and that strength is superhuman.

If you don’t think that strength rubs off on a mompreneur’s business, you’re wrong.

 Of course it does. It’s arguably what gives us our competitive advantage, even as we fight against the disadvantage of sleep deprivation.

2. Build a strong support system.

As a mompreneur, you are the go-to person for so many people It’s important to have people in your life who are not only there for you, but who don’t judge you when you can’t stand up to your own ideal boss/mom standards.

 If you’re a single mother, don’t think this means you can’t be a mompreneur. Your family is your support system. Your friends are your support system. Your babysitter  is your support system. The people who believe in you and enable you? They are your support system.

You are who you surround yourself with. It is so critical for your happiness, success, and overall self-acceptance to surround yourself with people who believe in and inspire you. The kind of people who don’t guilt you for your ambitions and honor your “why” even if it’s not theirs.

3. Choose your team wisely.

No mompreneur can get it done without her team. When you have amazing talent behind you, it enables you to be both the best mom and the best business owner you can be. Your team should understand you, and understand the empire you’re trying to create.

Any entrepreneur can tell you that building your team wisely is critical to your success. You need employees who can take on the tasks that require skills you’re not as strong in, or that take up too much of your valuable and limited time.

 As a mompreneur your time is twice as limited as that of the average entrepreneur, so you have to be twice as picky about your work family.

 Your employees are your second family, so they have to support you just as much as your business will support them. 

Hire the kind of people who will not just reduce your workload, but your stress load.

4. Learn to master work/life balance.

Never center your life around things that are more temporary than permanent. What does that mean? As a mompreneur, your family is the reason for everything you do. It’s your core, your nucleus, your center, your WHY.

Everything else in your life revolves around that. Design your work schedule around your family and not the other way around. You’re the boss, so your hours are what you want them to be.

There will never be enough hours in the day to accomplish everything. Sometimes you will have to stay up late after the kids go to sleep in order to finish your work. 

While I’m letting you in on secrets, here’s an important one: working late is more than worth it when it enables you to be present in your child’s life without guilt.

5. Know when to unplug and be “off the clock.”

The hardest thing about being a mompreneur is that the clock is always running. There is always someone who needs you. You are never off the clock, and the responsibility falls entirely on you.

Don’t be afraid. When I started this journey, I was terrified of disappointing myself and others if I failed. The biggest struggle towards my success was believing in myself. You will fail or succeed on your own terms as both a mom and an entrepreneur. So you have to have the drive, the vision, the aptitude, and the ability. None of those things will matter if you don’t believe them of yourself.

You are always on the clock, but you are also the boss of your life.Know when to unplug the clock. 

Finally I would love to add that being a working mom is like having two full-time jobs. But like all would agree, mompreneur is a very rewarding title to have and it's totally doable when you have a plan to be successful in mom and business life.

Happy Mother's Day, Keep Smiling and I will see you again .
