Work at home moms face different challenges than other work at home professionals. As a parent, a mother has to be there for her family, but as a professional she also has to be there for her business. There are basically five major roadblocks to success in a home based business, and once work at home moms recognize what those roadblocks are, they can address them and find success and balance in their home based businesses.
Roadblock #1: Super-sized Expectations - First, it is important to know that goals are good. Work at home moms need to have goals so that they can keep their focus on their work. Yet, those goals need to be reasonable. In a super-size world, you may think that your goals have to be over-the-top and something big, but in fact those unrealistic expectations will do you a disservice. Make sure your goals are well within reach so that you can feel the satisfaction of reaching them. Reaching for the stars is fine as long as you set goals that take you step-by-step along the way.
Roadblock #2: Time Management - When you started your home based business you probably thought you could handle the business aspect during your “free” time, but many work at home moms find it difficult to find that “free” time. Maybe it is time to start looking at new ways to take care of household chores. Can your spouse or your children take care of some of your tasks? Maybe you should try to find better ways to organize laundry or learn to cook in bulk to save time on dinner each night. Look at the small things to find ways to cut time here and there so that you can manage your time better.
Roadblock #3: Lack of Support - You may want to have your own business, but does your family want it, too? One of the biggest challenges that work at home moms face is the unsupportive family. Sometimes the support is there at first, and then family members feel left out or neglected. Start by getting your priorities in order. Are you spending too much time at work and not on “family” things? Make sure you have a good balance in your life. Treat your spouse and your children with some of your profits. Include them in your business decisions. If you put in the effort, the support will eventually follow.
Roadblock #4: Waiting Too Long - Our lives are filled with missed opportunities. If you think back you can probably come up with a list of “should have” or “could have” things. Sometimes we think we are too busy or not good enough to do something, but instead of putting those dreams aside, why not try them out? Start making a list of the things you dream about doing and start doing them.
