How to Manage a Business as a Working from Home Mother

1. Choose a time of day that realistically works for you

With a baby, I prefer working during nap time. It’s my mompreneur time. But if you can be up at 4:30 am to work until your baby/kids get up at 5:30 or 6:30, go for it.

2. Once you choose a time, stay consistent

Taking action is key. Even just one hour a day, four days a week can really make a difference. Maybe you can throw in an hour some weekends. In a few months, whatever project you are working on will have grown quite a bit. It may feel like you are getting nowhere at times because it’s all happening so slowly, but just stay with it. The time you’re putting in matters.

3. Let no household chores stand in the way of your work time

If you are planning on working during nap time, or from 8:30- 9:45 pm, then set yourself up for success for your work time.

Get your journal, a snack, whatever you need, and get yourself in place to work. Don’t let a huge pile of laundry or Facebook stop you. Do all that before or after your work time.
