by Mompreneur Media
Who doesn’t want to be self-employed? Making your own schedule, taking on projects you actually like, and being able to work from home – it all sounds like a dream came true, right?
Well, being an entrepreneur does have its perks, and if you’re a stay-at-home mom it’s a fantastic idea that keeps your career going while taking care of the little ones. Actually, the number of entrepreneurial moms is growing in the USA and the available opportunities are quite diverse.
Still, being an entrepreneur and a stay-at-home mom is not all sunshine and rainbows – it’s actually a very demanding position that requires focus, organization, and a lot of patience. Both tasks are difficult as being your own boss means there is no one to monitor your progress and defend you in front of clients when things go bad (and sometimes they will).
Even more, to the entrepreneurial stress, you add the stress of being a full-time mom which is one of the most challenging tasks in life. So, it’s no wonder that, at the end of the day, you end up being stressed and tired. But there are solutions that can help you find new strength and power!
The main remedy to this crazy life you’ve chosen is creating time for yourself. I know that it seems time has completely run out and there’s no place for some fun time, but you must make an effort and include it in your busy schedule. It doesn’t have to be a lot, but it has to be quality time which is why today I will put aside the regular spa day and talk about airsoft.
