Written By Lizzie Grothmann

Being a stay-at-home mom and an entrepreneur is like having a front-row seat to the most incredible show of your life. Lets be real… its not always easy and can be really difficult at times, especially trying to find a way to balance IT ALL… After having my son 2 years ago, I learned that I didn’t have to choose family or work. I could easily focus on both INTENTIONALLY, allowing me to be a successful mom and business owner. Here are 5 of the habits that helped me thrive in this unique role that I know will help you too. So, grab your favorite beverage, get cozy, and let's dive into the secrets of being a productive entrepreneur and a kick-ass stay-at-home mom!

  1. Habit Stacking:
    A Symphony of Productivity Picture this: you're preparing a scrumptious meal for your little ones, singing along to their favorite tunes. Why not use this time to dive into a podcast or audiobook about business? By habit stacking, you can turn mundane moments into thrilling learning experiences for both you and your littles. It's like playing your favorite tunes while effortlessly knocking off items from your to-do list. Trust me, this habit is a game-changer that will make you feel like the ultimate multitasking queen!

  2. Time Blocking:
    Choreographing Your Success, Every great performance needs proper choreography, and your day as a mompreneur is no exception. Time blocking is the art of allocating specific time slots to different activities. Imagine having dedicated time for client meetings, brainstorming sessions, and quality bonding with your little ones. I do this in 30 minute increments, short enough to make you have the urgency to be productive but long enough to get the job at hand done. By setting clear boundaries and blocking out your schedule, you'll feel like a maestro conducting the symphony of your day. Dance your way through your to-do list with grace and confidence!

  3. Creating a To-Do List the Night Before:
     Your Magical Crystal Ball Oh, the anticipation of a new day! Before you retire for the night, take a moment to conjure up your magical crystal ball—a.k.a your to-do list. Jot down your top 5 priorities, 5 business tasks, and 5 personal goals (non business related). This simple act of preparation will make you feel like a visionary, ready to conquer the day. With your list in hand, you'll wake up feeling excited and focused, knowing that you have a roadmap to navigate through the beautiful chaos that awaits.

  4. Rise One Hour Before Your Kids:
    Your Personal Oasis Ah, the serenity of early mornings—the perfect time to create your own oasis of tranquility. Set your alarm one hour ahead of your little ones' waking time and savor those peaceful moments just for yourself. Engage in self-care routines, prayer time, exercise, or dive into tasks that require your undivided attention. This magical hour will leave you feeling centered, energized, and ready to tackle both the joys of motherhood and the exhilarating challenges of entrepreneurship.

  5. Set Working Hours:
    Boundaries for Balance As a supermom entrepreneur, you deserve a healthy work-life balance. Establishing set working hours is your secret weapon to achieve just that. Communicate your working hours to your family, so they understand the importance of uninterrupted time for your business. By defining clear boundaries, you can fully immerse yourself in work during those hours and create quality moments with your loved ones outside of them. It's a win-win situation that will leave you feeling fulfilled in both your roles.

So my dear Mompreneur extraordinaire, your journey as a stay-at-home mom and entrepreneur is an exhilarating rollercoaster ride. Embrace the excitement, relish the challenges, and savor every moment. By habit stacking, time blocking, creating a to-do list the night before, rising before your kids, and setting working hours, you'll create a symphony of productivity and balance. Remember, you're not alone on this adventure—we're all in it together.
