As an entrepreneur working from home and in the first year or two of being in business, it took some time for me to find ways to show up consistently.
I had thoughts like…
“If I don’t have a full day of work scheduled, do I still make myself available to my clients?”
“Does it matter if I start my work day right at 9:30am (I know, it’s not early and I’m not an early bird!)?”
“Is it okay to take time away to do some household chores in between projects?”
What I did realize is that as long as I showed up everyday as the best version of myself, I was getting ahead with building a business I loved and a family life like never before. I was able to get my tasks accomplished, have happy clients and allow myself so much room for growth.
That’s why this quote by Tituss Burgess resonates for me, “There is absolutely nothing that you can control except showing up and doing your job.”
Maybe it resonates for you, too? If so, let me know in the comments.
With much love and gratitude,
I am really trying to find my balance with being a work from home mom- I’m constantly battling “do I clean and do laundry if the baby is napping or take this time to sit in my office and work on some business stuff in the little peace and quite time I get”
Thank you for this email!
