5 Fantastic Guides for Mums in Business

Five practical guides to help mothers in business succeed while managing both family life and entrepreneurship.

Paul Raymond · Contributor·21 August 2017·4 min read

Setting Realistic Goals

Entrepreneurial success requires thoughtful planning. Create a flexible to-do list and mark completed tasks daily. This approach prevents overwhelm by breaking work into manageable pieces rather than pursuing unattainable targets.

Scheduling Personal Time

The entrepreneurial journey demands extended hours beyond traditional 9 to 5 work. Carve out dedicated time for yourself — whether walking, playing with children or exercising. These breaks rejuvenate your mind and boost overall productivity.

Power Hours

Combat procrastination through focused work sessions. Create a task list, set a one-hour timer, silence distractions (phone, social media, email), then take a 20-minute break. Discipline is the vital tool when it comes to business.

Teaming with Other Mums

Connect with other mothers in business to share childcare responsibilities. Establish rotational childcare arrangements during school holidays and weekends, freeing time to concentrate on business growth.

Delegating Tasks

Recognise you cannot handle everything alone. List all business tasks, complete the challenging ones personally and delegate lighter duties to others. Consider hiring help for household tasks or training staff for freelance work to streamline operations.
