I recently shared a substack all about the chaos of being a wife, a mom of a toddler and 3 month old baby, while also being the CEO of an accounting firm and oh, taking on more business opportunities that sound cool and fun.
It was a particularly difficult day when I wrote it, but it helped me remember something really important:
You can be ambitious about your business without needing to grow it at all costs.
You can have a big business AND a full life.
You can be a present mom without putting everything else on hold.
It might just not get 100% of you at the same time.
Balance isn’t giving equal pieces of yourself to everything you do every day. It’s giving your attention to what needs it most in that moment.
Some days, my business gets the best part of me.
Some days, my kids do.
Some days, my husband does. (Some days. 😅)
And some days, if I’m being honest, everyone gets a slightly-less-than-my-best version of me.
Because balance as a business owner doesn’t mean everything feels perfectly balanced.
It can look messy. It can feel messy. And I don’t think that means we’re doing it wrong.
Maybe the goal isn’t to perfectly balance it all.
Maybe it’s to build a life (and a business) that you actually want to be present for. 🤍
Where are my other mompreneuers?? 🙋🏼♀️
