Running a business as a mom can be a very challenging task. There are many ups and downs throughout the process and sometimes it is just too much. Despite all of the challenges that come with being a mom and running a business, it is not an impossible task.
Today we are joined by Amy Traugh. Amy is the CEO of Moms on a Mission where her main goal is to change the narrative around moms and business. She believes that you do not have to pick one over the other and that these two jobs can coexist. Amy shares with us how to successfully plan days that are efficient for both tasks and how to make it as easy as possible.
Topics we cover:
5:22 - All sorts of moms come to work with Amy. Some of them are already working and overwhelmed, and others want to start their business. However, as a mom running a business, you need to understand and respect the season of motherhood that you are in.
7:20 - Mindset is 100% the key. If you don’t have self-awareness then you are going to hold yourself back.
9:00 - You need to have an individualized daily strategy that works for your season of life. Having a plan of what you want your day to look like will help it become a reality.
12:56 - It’s important to give yourself freedom and flexibility when planning out your day. There are going to be a lot of ups and downs, but that’s just part of life.
15:31 - You need to learn how to detach from the outcome and use the outcome and numbers as a tool to improve your business.
19:06 - When developing your family plan, you need to start by having a core mission and looking at what is at the top of your priorities. Also don’t be afraid to give roles and responsibilities to all the members of your family so that you can work together.
You’re never going to find the time; you have to make the time. This also includes time for fun, which is just as important as any other time. Life is meant to be lived, and being a business owner gives us that control. You can build your business around your life and have what you are dreaming of.
