Hi, Mamas! As the founder of Unbound Mama, a virtual assistant and operations agency that caters to mompreneurs, I’m passionate about helping you reclaim your time and achieve harmony in your work and life.
So, let’s explore the unique challenges we face, discover mindset tricks to overcome them, and unlock the hidden potential within our schedules.
Today, I want to discuss an unpopular opinion I have…
Work-life balance is a myth.
As a mompreneur, it’s so easy to feel like we need work-life balance and we do everything we can, trying all these different tactics and tools to figure out how to get this ultimate balance in life.
And I often feel like we’re just chasing this pipedream that doesn’t exist. It isn’t that you can’t be happy as both mom and entrepreneur, but you have to realize there are going to be times when you focus more on your business.
And times you focus more on your family.
When you get to make your family a priority, it’s a reminder that’s why we do what we do. The flexibility of being a mompreneur is that I can take off when I need to and I’m able to do that. I’m able to make my family a priority when I need to. I can make all the practices, events and be here for my children.
Because I work from home running a business, I never have to ask off.
Oftentimes I will start to feel guilty if I’m at my computer all day working on client work or working on beginning-of-the-month and end-of-the-month tasks and when my work days feel long, I have to remind myself that I get to do this.
In fact, I choose to do this.
And it isn’t a requirement. I remind myself that I do the long days so I can take the day off to go on an adventure. I can also homeschool my kids because I’m working from home and running my own business as a mompreneur. I get to have that connection with my children where I’m always here, I’m always available. It’s a beautiful thing that I get to do that for them and myself.
We have to remember to be thankful and stop trying to create this incredible balance that we feel we need and have to have to feel successful.
So what do you think? Do you feel like there is this elusive work-life balance or do you feel the same way that I do? That there will be times when work takes priority and times when your family takes priority. And because I’m a mompreneur, it’s exciting that I have that option and not have to obsessively find this “balance”. That life is just a juggling act.
It’s all about finding a sustainable way to make it all work!
