In today’s world, more and more moms are considering launching their businesses or starting a career from home. With so much happening online, getting started has always been challenging.

Make Sure You Have The Time To Commit

Starting a business or launching a career from home is no small task. Before you begin, ensure you have enough time to commit to the process. Consider if other areas of your life could use some adjustment to free up more time for your new venture. You can use organization tools available online to help you stay on track and manage your time efficiently.

 

Know Your Strengths and Weaknesses

The most crucial step in launching any new venture is understanding your strengths and weaknesses so that you can focus on what you’re the best at doing. What do you excel at? What are your passions? What makes you unique? Understanding these answers can help guide your decision-making when taking the plunge into a home-based career. Research careers that may fit your skills or interests, and don’t be afraid to try something new! You will likely find an opportunity that fits your strengths and passions perfectly.

 

Create a Plan

Once you have identified the skillset or area of interest that fits best with your strengths and passions, it’s time to create a plan of action. The key here is to plan for success by setting realistic goals and deadlines for yourself based on the resources available to you. This includes budgeting for necessary expenses (like office supplies or software), creating an organized schedule of work hours/days that fit with family obligations, researching potential customers/clients, etc. A good plan also includes considering how long it may take before turning a profit – don’t expect too much too soon!

 

Use Available Resources Wisely

No matter your business or career path, resources are always available to help you get started. This could include mentorships or networking opportunities through local organizations, online courses/webinars, online forums specifically for female entrepreneurs, etc. Use these resources wisely – they can provide valuable advice and connections with others in similar fields who may have insights into how best to approach certain aspects of running a business from home. It can also be helpful to look at the best apps for digital nomads, as they can provide a great way to stay organized and connected with your customers/clients.

 

Starting a business or career from home is no small feat — especially for busy moms! It requires dedication and planning, but if done correctly can lead to great success both professionally and personally. Knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses is vital; creating an achievable plan based on resources available; using those resources wisely, all while keeping family obligations top of mind throughout the entire process, will ensure success down the line! Good luck!

Hi, I’m Christine

Have you been a wholehearted mother, but time, toddlers and teenagers have moved on? If you are wondering what comes next for you, you’ll feel right at home here.

Or, are you a mom for whom family life has been non-Pinworthy and parenting has been downright painful? I hear ya. There are many of us around.

Are you looking for a life full of exploration and adventure after the nest empties, but maybe you have no idea how to go about doing that? Stick around! We’ll explore adventures together to help you gain more clarity for your own path.

After a couple decades of writing books and articles about parenting, homeschooling and adoption, speaking to homeschoolers and other parent groups, and reaching out to the mom in the trenches who was trying to make the best of it - my kids grew up. Some grew up and grew away. I was determined to find a way out of the pain, emptiness and lack of direction.

For many of us, the journey starts with something we moms are not accustomed to. After years of caring for and serving others, sometimes we forget the beauty and wonder of US. We need to spend some time getting to know the parts of ourselves that have lain dormant, and take the time to explore interests and passions that we set aside.

I’d like to invite you to get the “What’s Next for Mom” workbook and jump into this growing tribe of Moms who are emptying the nest and filling the life! Let’s reignite your Mojo after Mothering!
