As a fellow mompreneur, I understand the unique journey of balancing business-building with the joys and challenges of motherhood. I’ve walked this path, juggling kid schedules with client deadlines, and I know the mental conflicts that often arise. You’re not alone in wondering how to achieve your business goals amid the day-to-day hustle.
Oftentimes moms in business may have mental conflicts over how to achieve our business goals. I know it can be difficult to see your path before you when it’s muddled with questions like:
How do I get through all the tech jargon to _____ set up my blog/hire someone to create my ebook graphic/create my first digital course? Let me share a few core steps that can keep you on track and motivated.
How do I get from Point A to Point B?
How do I take the next step?
What is my next step?
Although I won’t be digging into details for each of these questions on this post, I can at least address the biggest concern I think- which is how do we do it? How can we achieve our goals when we have so much on our plates? How can we move forward when there is so much in the day in our way?
I’ve got a video just for you! Here we go…
1. Tackle Procrastination Head-On
Overcoming procrastination is crucial to making progress. I know it’s tough — I’ve struggled with it myself. But I realized that letting go of my “someday” projects and diving into action was incredibly liberating. It’s how I finally committed to writing my book! When you stop procrastinating, you give yourself the freedom to accomplish goals that have been waiting for your attention. Ask yourself: is there one thing you’ve been putting off? Maybe it’s creating content, launching a digital product, or starting a blog. Take the first step now! I’m here to cheer you on, reminding you that every small action is a victory toward your dreams.
2. Embrace Imperfections and Keep Going
Perfectionism can be a major hurdle. I used to let my need for everything to be “just right” slow down my progress, especially with my website design and online courses. After countless theme changes and endless course revisions, I finally let go of the need for perfection.
You see, I have this little problem with website design: I get bored easily with my templates (plus, I love designing, which is both a “problem” and a blessing since I get to help clients with their website designs!) Being the geek that I am, I love tweaking CSS code and front end design, and I enjoy fooling around with new web templates or switching from one theme to another (Divi to Elementor, for example)- which means that my boredom has found a playmate: switching themes. Marry that with the fact that I’m a bit of a perfectionist. I’m learning to find a web template, and just say “It’s okay, Demetria, its fine! Totally fine!” and stick with it.
I’m also learning that perfectionism when it comes to creating my courses, is what has held me back over the years. I have so many courses in my Google Drive, but I’ve been afraid to let them out of the bag. I’m afraid of imperfections. I’m afraid it won’t be just right. Thankfully, I’ve been able to get past this perfectionism and release one of my most recent courses: Create Your Digital Products (which I’m sure I will soon revise and update). I have many more up my sleeve to release, but oftentimes it is truly perfectionism that gets in the way.
What am I doing about it? I’m sharing this tidbit of personal info with you, my reader and viewer. I want you to know that I understand, and I’ve been there (heck, I am there!) and that just like you, I’m learning to look past imperfections in order to move forward and really accomplish my goals. I want to encourage you also by showing you how you can accomplish your business goals also.
3. Keep Moving Forward – Every Day
The only way to truly achieve your business goals is to keep moving forward. You’ve got to keep it moving, my friend. Forget perfectionism and definitely forget procrastination!
Take out your task list and every single day focus on those tasks and complete them.
If you’re a visual person, try a vision board. This will help you to keep moving as you visualize where you eventually want to be in your business.
The key here is: to keep it moving. Don’t look back. Don’t get stuck in the present or the past.
Consistency is your best ally in achieving your goals. The key is to stay forward-focused. Resist the urge to look back or get too caught up in day-to-day challenges. When you keep pushing forward, the momentum builds, and your dreams come within reach.
