Find someone influential in your local area, or on
social media and genuinely connect with them. Go
into the meeting without expectations, or you’ll
both likely end up disappointed. You may not
receive any referrals or financial benefit straight
away but as you nourish and develop your connection to that person, you’re more likely to find
opportunities for mutual success & inspiration.
4. IGNORE THE NEGATIVE
NANCYS
In every mum-group I have been to, it seems there
is always someone that does not approve of my
choice to build my business from home with the
twins around. Because they are super busy with
one child and no business, they assume I must be
either a bad parent or shitty coach - because how
can you possibly do both well?
So whatever you do, don’t let anyone else’s
small-minded BS get you down and doubting your
mad skills! Remember, what they say actually says
more about them than it does you! If someone
makes you feel less than the inspiring, trailblazer
that you are - consider if you really need them in
your life. I know this is a toughie when family is
involved, but in business (and motherhood!) its so
vitally important to surround yourself with people
that support and lift you up.
5. FILL YOUR OWN CUP
FIRST AND GIVE FROM THE
OVERFLOW
Finally, and most important of all is to nourish
yourself, mind, body & soul as your number ONE
priority! As a mum it is so easy to let the humdrum
of daily life get in the way, but I promise you; you
will be a better mother, wife, friend & BOSS if you
fill your own cup first and give from the overflow!
Schedule in timeout in your calendar as an absolute non-negotiable. Do whatever you need to get
29
it in each and every week, so that you feel energised & ready to take on the world. Whether you
just sit and read a good book, soak in a bath, catch
a yoga class, hit the gym or get a mani-pedi, make
it something that fills up your cup.
So, there you have it! My top 5 tips for surviving
(and thriving!) in the life as a Mumpreneur. It’s not
easy, you’ll make tonnes of mistakes along the way,
but never forget that by getting back up every time
you fall, you inspire your children to never give up.
