3. Deals with Mom Guilt

Guilt a feeling of having done wrong or failed in an obligation.

Someone, please explain to me why guilt is so heavy?

It’s as if anytime I decide to do something for myself, I feel guilty. Especially if the kids aren’t included, or my husband has to watch them for an extended period.

You know that feeling…

The guilt that talks to you in your head. And guilt tries to convince you what you’re doing is selfish. That you’re not doing this for the better of your family, but you’re just doing it for you.

How to deal with mom guilt?

Well, to be successful, you need to silence the noise. You need to make it shut up!

How do you ask? By creating a different version of the story than the one you created. I like to journal to rewrite my thought process. 

For instance,  say you would like to head to the coffee shop so that you can work on the outline of your clothing line, but that feels selfish.

Grab out your journal and write out what you feel. Then, write I have plenty of time to get things done. You will see the universe make ways and you will empower yourself as well. 

Or you can write I love spending time to myself because it gives me sanity, and allows me to love my family harder. Then go and bring them something back from the coffee shop. 

And don’t feel bad about the kids playing alone. Trust me they need it. Here are 68 activities the kids can do so you can get work done.

4. Financial Savvy Success Tips

It’s one thing to be rich and successful, but it another to stay successful. To maintain success in life, you must be financially savvy. Merely being smart with your money would ultimately help you maintain a successful lifestyle.

Three simple rules to follow

5. Have a Work-Life Balance

We are all searching for a life where we can make money and be able to spend quality time with our loved ones.

Moms who are successful in life make sure their jobs don’t consume their life. 

Creating the balance in-between can often be challenging to achieve, but with the right approach, it’s possible. 

Here are a few tips to help you achieve a successful work-life balance like a family command center.

Organizing your Time

6. Set S.M.A.R.T Goals AND Uncomfortable Goals

Successful Moms don’t only make SMART goals, but they act on them.  

You should use your “SMART” goals (“Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-oriented”),  as a motivational outline of where you want to go in life. 

Keep Moving

Don’t let the bigger picture paralyze your movement or completion of your larger goals. Instead, think and work like successful people, who understand the importance of goal setting is never to stop. Alternatively, you must continue leaping from one step to the next step until you land on your goal.

Create a Strategy that works for you

By breaking your large goal into small bite-sized goals, you are likely to keep up the momentum. 

Once you begin to build confidence in your goal setting strategy, then you should start to add goals that make you uncomfortable. Goals that you set so high that you have butterflies in your stomach. It’s these uncomfortable goals that bring success in life. To find out more about more read The Only Time You Are Actually Growing Is When You’re Uncomfortable

8. Successful Mornings–Wake up Early

Do you wake up early?

Early riser has the advantage of getting the critical task out the way long before distractions come, such as getting caught up in the everyday hustle. 

Why wake up early over going to be late, you ask? Waking up early in the morning allows you to be more effective because you can focus on your priorities during the day. And be present with your family for the remainder of the day.

For example, if you have three very important things to do, such as email clients, schedule the next appointments, and finish writing a blog post. 

Then getting up early allows you to tackle those priorities and have the rest of the day to enjoy your family. Otherwise, the entire time you are hanging out with your family, you will be thinking about things on your to-do list, which leaves you distracted. 

And take time to take care of you!  A simple skin routine can make you feel empowered. And

10. Successful Mindset

♥grab printable to hang on your wall

In an interview on Harvard Business Review, Carol Dweck explains how different mindsets can affect your true potential.

She clarifies by stating, “Let me start with a fixed mindset. A fixed mindset is when people believe their basic qualities, their intelligence, their talents, their abilities, are just fixed traits. They have a certain amount, and that’s that. But other people have a growth mindset. They believe that even basic talents and abilities can be developed over time through experience, mentorship, and so on. And these are the people who go for it. They’re not always worried about how smart they are, how they’ll look, what a mistake will mean. They challenge themselves and grow”.

So successful people grow.

They are willing to accept change, get out of their comfort zone, and learn from failures.

As a mom, you can change the same obstacles that slow you down into the belief that it is fuel to keep you going.

For example, many may not start because they don’t have time to focus because they have kids, so they rather wait until the children are grown before focusing on personal desires and taking chances.

Whereas, another mom with a different mindset may strive for opportunities and take chances because her family is her motivation.

...you don’t praise talent. You don't praise ability. You praise process.- Carol Dweck Click To Tweet.

11. Diversify Her Income

The more income streams you have, the more security you will have as well.

To achieve success in life, you cant only rely on your 9-5 job. If something would ever happen to that job, how will you continue to pay bills? With multiple sources of income, if one was to fall short, you will still have other mediums to keep up your lifestyle. Also, achieve financial freedom will be easier since each stream will bring in additional cash.

Successful moms understand she needs to diversify her income as much as she can. There are side hustles, and passive ways to do this, for example, writing a book, invest in real estate, driving for uber, turn a passion to profit, or offering something to sell.

12. Success Tip–She is Resourceful

Resourceful: having the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties.

I was listening to Tony Robbins on YouTube, and there were some things he said that made me think.

What are your limited resources?

TIME, MONEY, EDUCATION, or LACK OF SUPPORT (knowing the right people, getting advice from others who been there, accountability partner)

Based on that answer: how can you become more resourceful? How can you use what you got to get what you want?

There is always someone who is missing something and still make moves.

Tony mentioned he grew up poor and with limited resources, but he was resourceful.
