Mindset Buster #1: Success Has to be Hard - Mom Biz Solutions Show

As mompreneurs, we're working up against a lot of traditions, stereotypes, and our own ideas about what it means to be an entrepreneur. If we're coming from a "traditional" job, we may be hung up on how many hours (8+) per day we HAVE to work. On the other hand, we live in a society where the word entrepreneur conjures up images of people working 80+ hours a week to live their dream. Well, let's get real. A lot of the reason we started our own businesses is so we can be FREE from all of that! So let's look at this mindset and drill down to where it's keeping you from moving forward. Hint: you can take a vacation, you can take a weekend off, you can be with your family. Lara offers business coaching along with parenting tips, small business marketing strategies, and funny stories about the joys and chaos of being a mom entrepreneur.
