“I’m just going to be in hustle mode for a bit.”

Rewind!!

You’re running a business, and your mom friends aren’t, but you’re measuring yourself by the exact same standard.

But you’re doing the house, the husband, and the kids AND the marketing, the lead gen, the team, the content, and the courses (or clients) - she isn’t!

So it’s time to get clear on what you’re actually struggling with, plus how much white space (aka, time) you actually NEED to accomplish your business-mom day-in-a-life priorities.

You’ve got this!

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 3: The busier you are, the more scheduled you need to be. True? 5:28

If you’ve got a ton of stuff going on, you have to be way more strict about holding yourself to pre-determined timelines and boundaries for when you have to shift tasks. Because all you need to do is firmly wall off your creative work time – no Slack messaging with clients allowed! - and give yourself the ironclad “only do this” boundaries your brain needs. And poof, your copy gets written and your launch assets are back up and your big project is already checked off. So here’s how to do this when you’ve got 3 kids crawling all over you....

You’re hitting everything on the client work plus marketing plus sales outreach plus content creation plus business bookkeeping plus CEO time to-do list - but it’s all feeling kind of catch-as-catch can instead of smoothly flowing from one thing to the next. You feel like your schedule isn’t properly in order (except every time you DO try to tweak your schedule, you always end up ditching it for some reason or other), and you’re having a hard time prioritizing your own business needs over your clients’. Guess what - it is the scheduling that you need… but not in the super type A, uber efficient “cram everything in” way you’re expecting. You’ve got this!

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 1: Is hustle mode mandatory for a business mom? 9:47

Am I seriously supposed to act like I’m Elon Musk and just live at the office, only popping out every now and then to see my husband and kids and go to church, and meantime tell them “I’m working to secure your future” and have that be my workaholic guilt-free card whenever they ask about me? Is the only alternative to this level of die at your desk, like Ann Keaney says, to pull way back to side-hustle-$30k-a-year mode, and give up on ever growing my business? No. You get whatever you believe in, which means you have to know deep down in your gut that you can be a great mom AND a high-powered work-from-home CEO. ‘Cause if you can get your head around that, then it’s all a matter of strategy and tweaking and time shifting.

The ultimate guide to cycle syncing (so you never burn out on period week again). 6:30

You’ve heard about cycle syncing by now. But you’re thinking, is it really going to be the be-all end-all if I just track a few dates and add an extra calendar app thing? How much does this actually affect my energy levels and work output day to day? If you’re feeling that “out of sync with my workflow” thing regularly – and I mean the “I really thought I’d put in enough time for me to wrap up with that client before grabbing Owen from nap and heading to the park to let him run around while I work on my phone a little bit, then get home in time to prep supper, but this new park schedule just isn’t working out....” Then you’re in serious need of the “hormonal right sizing” that cycle syncing can give you.

Is there a right way to handle client meetings when your kids are halfway through their bedtime routine? 4:45

20 days ago4:45

“No client calls while the kids are awake” is your general rule, but…. This one time the sales call can’t be moved, and your preschoolers aren’t in bed yet (teeth brushed though!), leaving you uncertain how this call’s going to go on top of your ordinary “am I being a good mom if I block them out” worries. (You know what the “good business owner” answer is - you take the call with everyone quiet in the background - but what you aren’t sure of is whether that’s doing a disservice to your kids!) This is exactly the dilemma my client came to me with - ‘cause her kids were really young, and she had some set time zone work meetings she had to attend, which were all happening after supper but before bedtime - and she was feeling really guilty about it. You know what I told her? (Not what you’re guessing!) You’ve got this!

Sometimes, when we’re all gung ho about transformation, we think it’s going to be “zap and we’re done.” But sometimes change isn’t like that. Sometimes you have to decide to do the thing, believe differently about yourself or your business life, and start acting like it’s true for you when you’re still feeling uncomfortable about it. You’re not fully bought in yet. But you still have to do the actions as if it is. Because that’s how you’re going to get there, to that 100% embodied CEO level. You’ve got this!

Why ignoring your to-do list is the best decision you’ll ever make. 5:22

Because what you really want is to be able to close down your laptop and put a clear end to work every. Single. Day. But your reality is that you never take time off from your to-do list, because you said you’d quit when it got crossed off, and people keep adding tasks to your plate! Like what this client told me: It's all the little 5, 10, and 30 minute tasks that need to be done. I am getting the big important things done, but then there is so much other stuff that just seems never ending! Yikes, yes - that’s a recipe for disaster. Living in a family AND running a profitable business are both going to keep tossing new task lists on your plate! (Plus you also want to give yourself time to recharge every day.)

My secret for easing out of vacation mode - WITHOUT jumping straight back into work. 8:41

Do you tend to push yourself to get right back into work post family vacation or Christmas getaway or big Thanksgiving road trip? Are you putting that kind of pressure on yourself to be “all in” on client support, project deliverables, daily social media content, getting straight back into batching, etcetera - when deep down you’re still tired from this “out of my routine” trip mode, and what you really need is a break? (Worse, have you ever scolded yourself for “failing” your latest habit streak ‘cause you took this trip/week off and it would have been way too much hassle to keep going on your running or sunrise meditation or new herbal tea habit?)

Can you fit parenting into your work-from-home day, while equally prioritizing both? 5:21

What exactly is the point of a work-from-home business in the first place? Is it to indulge yourself in lazy mornings, slow cups of coffee, and nice, quiet houses in your perfectly-set-up work office (instead of the impersonal cubicle and dealing with transporting meals).... Or is it something deeper? Something kid-related? You came into this space on purpose so that you could be the stay at home mom like you’d always planned – AND be the successful business owner you also dreamed of. You’re here for the “both and.” That’s really the entire reason why you started this. Because it’s for the legacy called your kids. You’ve got this!

This is what I told my client when she couldn’t unplug from her to-do list. 6:30

6 weeks ago6:30

6:30

J. said, “I find myself taking on every task I see in front of myself rather than stopping to ask if I should be doing it. Then I never get to relax!” And that’s a problem.

Here’s what your weekend prep day could look like next month! Because what I teach you is how to get less on your plate – even as a mom running a business – and no matter how many kids you have in the house. And you’re going to do it by the power of delegation. Sneak peek: by the time we all descend on the kitchen, Mister 6-Year-Old is all done and accomplished, I’m ready to get out plates and maple syrup, my husband’s going to start cooking, and Waffle Boy #1 is somewhere toilet scrubbing. So here’s what a typical Saturday cleaning-and-errand-running (oh, and don’t forget the 7-person food prepping!) at our house looks like.... You’ve got this!

What if your daily routine is already full - so is your weekly one, as a matter of fact - and it's working really smoothly for you - but then one of your kids gets sick and you have to take extra time out from your day to deal with them? Or you get the unexpected pop-up task of a new doctor's appointment (that must be on such-and-such day), handling quarterly taxes, or an unexpected house cleaning/insect issue? What if, in fact, your kids are in that stage where they're bringing something home every other week from nursery and Sunday school, and you're having to deal with "sick schedules" as your other most-frequent weekly norm?

Because it’s not about how hard you can go for how long and where that’ll intersect with your no-doubt-wonderful-and-amazing 5-year plan. Or pushing yourself to meet every deadline, every timeline, every “would be great if our company hit this marker” for clients or course students. It’s about giving yourself the fuel you need for success – and I don’t mean the “quick gas up so you can get running again” kind of fuel. No, I’m talking the “so lit up about my purpose I can’t see myself quitting in 15 years from now” fuel. The personal family life that’s a complement to your CEO-self’s ambitions. That’s your life. ‘Cause if you don’t, you’re accepting that burnout is real and that you deserve to go through it. You’ve got this!

Here’s how this mindset block goes…. “My kids are away at school all day; in the evening everyone’s tired; so Saturdays and Sundays need to be our main family days with the kids to make up for that. I know I’m tired, and I usually give myself an afternoon break during the week, but it’s the weekend and that’s a special case! Just a couple days. That’s all I have with my kids. I need to be making these memories for them.” And so off you go to pull another weekend all-day-er when you really need to go home and have a 2-hour break yourself (not stay at the museum all afternoon).

I want you to take a deep breath now, and hear that it’s okay. It’s okay to be on a roll with the biz stuff, feel the high-performer pressure, and then allow yourself to back off and just feel into your body. To stop performing. Take a biz break day and just watch courses or catch up on biz podcasts. (Or do some next-season-clothes shopping for your kids, research a new appliance buy, or plan your next homeschooling purchase.)

Because you may be a mom, and a service provider, and a wife slash housekeeper, but you still need to keep the family running through the weekend (even though you’re “off” work for the business), and this doesn’t always lead to a break. So here’s how to not let the household swallow up your entire Saturday or Sunday so that you can actually enjoy a weekend break (just like your kids are doing). This scheduling hack comes from one of my client calls, when this client told me that her work week schedule was going great (yay!), but now her weekend was getting too crammed (leading to no downtime for her, and a very non-refreshed go-go-go start to every Monday).

Because “an underutilized productivity hack is saying no.” (Marcus Urbanski) Couldn’t agree more, Marcus. If you’ve got too much on your plate, chances are you’re not saying no to something. Because all that stuff on your schedule was placed there by you. (And if it wasn’t, then you’ve got a boundary issue you need to be dealing with!) You chose it. You allowed it. YOU drifted along and said, “Yes, let’s keep going to it.” Not your calendar. Which means you have to take personal responsibility. You’ve got this!

One of my superpowers is making tweaks to your schedule - getting you that alone time - helping you hit those business priorities - make the daily progress on your goals - and freeing up a surprising number of hours for your business. I’m great at noticing the parts of your day where you can, with a little creativity, make massive amounts of time to scale your new business. At not only helping you set up the homemaking routines (if that’s what you need), but also super streamlining those very same routines so you’re not using all your brainpower and creativity on what’s for supper and how to supervise your kids’ cleaning routines.

If your CEO day is going off the rails, here’s a little pep talk for you: Don’t let your entire day be shot just because one 2-hour segment of it got out of whack. Seriously. That’s 2 hours, out of 24. You have all the rest of your day to play with. (Well, not play, but you know what I mean.) You weren’t fooling around. You just got derailed in your day.

These days, you have to do a whole lot of spadework before you’re allowed to start something. I mean, before you can make a change to your workout habits, you’re supposed to research everything ad nauseum, buy just the right gear, set up your schedule, fill the latest and greatest water bottle – whatever happened to “just trying it” with a little jog-around-the-block habit for 30 days? Why all this “get your life together and THEN we’ll let you change it”? You’re told you need to know what went wrong first, maybe do a little self-analysis on what in your past caused you to behave this way, set up a schedule for yourself (‘cause if you don’t try something, you’ll never know what the sticking point is!), work that self-discipline muscle, set up all the systems and planners…..

You do NOT have to check this off before delegating in your business (as a mom looking to scale her online empire!) 5:47

Let’s play myth busters again with a common concern of growing and scaling business owners: when do I know it’s time to delegate? When am I allowed to outsource? Here we go. Myth or truth: You can only outsource after you’ve learned to do everything in your business yourself. You’re allowed to delegate, but only after you’ve had your first successful launch. You need to hit your first six-figure year before you’re allowed to delegate anything – because it’s proof of concept. You have to be at max personal capacity before you can bring on team. You can only bring on team after*you’ve proven you can “do it yourself” and “go it alone” as a solopreneur. What do you feel like you have to do first before you’re allowed to delegate anything?

Her son wouldn’t obey her chore requests, constantly interrupted client meetings (to the point that she was having to work odd hours), and took up all of her time off work time.

Newsflash: You do not have to “earn” your way to relaxation and time off. Because ease is not being lazy. Here’s what I’m talking about: “You have to learn to get comfortable with ease.” That’s a quote from Allie Casazza. But is this a struggle for you? I’m guessing it is, because I’m a self-driven, high-achieving girl with a family and a business – and I found this a hard concept to wrap my head around at first. I’d spent 20 years of my life pounding home the theme that discipline wins and work first, play later are the only productivity rules you need to know. So this? This was paradigm shattering.

Don't do what I did. Yes, this is me, the productivity expert, talking. When I was 6 weeks into starting my online business, I got a case study opportunity and used that to pressure myself to overdeliver. You see, I didn't have a website up - at least, I had a domain name, and some badly written pages, and a bunch of horrible graphics (graphic design from scratch is one of my weak points), and I was offered a chance to get on another successful business owner's website and have my stuff featured. It was too good to pass up. So being the classic overachiever, I said "yes ma'am! here's when you can expect this from me" (a full month ahead of her submit-by date), and then busted my butt to turn my whole site around.

Client Case Study: Do THIS when you’re running out of time during the week to get everything done for your team and clients! 4:57

What's going to happen to your business if you're a work-at-home mom who's only got 10 hours a week to devote to business needle-moving activities? And is this going to be a death knell to your business ambitions, or can you wriggle any way around this hard hours line? The inspiration for this came from one of my clients, who's got 4 kids at home, 1 still an infant and thus napping, and said she had only 10 hours a week to work on her business. Not surprisingly, she was finding that all her time was taken up with just doing podcast interviews and the scheduling/post-production work associated with all of that - there was no time for her to work on her OWN business herself! Needless to say, this was a huge time and scheduling issue, and I was so happy she brought it to me. Because when you're THIS crunched for time, every little bit counts. So here are the options I gave her - if you're dealing with a lack of biz time in your business, steal them for yourself. You’ve got this!
