Mums' Struggles Made Simple [MSMS]

A range of answers were returned, demonstrating the range of perspectives, challenges and situations we all collectively experience. I will now respond to your answers and share some solutions to the first half of the survey to enable you to welcome confidence, balance and joy into your life once and for all!

The majority who responded felt you lost your self-assurance to...

So many mums I meet have little time for themselves and, when they do get to enjoy some time out, it is considered an indulgence, leaving them feeling guilty for having time away from their family and ‘usual’ responsibilities. The issue for many mums is they don’t consider self-care to be a major priority yet it must be at the top of the list of these ‘normal’ duties!

Depriving yourself of vital self-care will have a dramatic and detrimental effect on your health and well-being. Emotionally, you will feel frustrated, resentful and under-valued, potentially...

• Do you have a never-ending list of business goals you would like to achieve?
• Would you like your business to acquire the greatest market share?
• Do you have lots of creative ideas but no time to implement or see them through?
• Do you have numerous personal goals that you would like to work towards?

Life as a mumpreneur sure is busy! With all the goals, plans and ideas you have, is it any wonder you struggle to find the time to get everything done? Yet, with a little help from your personal support network, you can achieve so much more!

Asking others to help you as you work towards...

So many mums disregard the importance of finding time for self-care and the benefits it can bring to their health and well-being. Yet, allowing yourself time to fulfil your own needs can be life-changing for you and it can have a positive impact on your children and others around you.

A mum can be defined as The Carer. You care for the health, education, development, success, shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses of your children. You care about the needs, happiness and worries of your partner. You care about the well-being of your extended family members. You care about the cleanliness...

Do you often feel that when it comes to getting your child or children involved in household chores, you might as well be pulling teeth! Here are some great ways to ensure your child understands the value and importance of working together as a team to help maintain a happy family life.

Encourage your child to get involved in cooperative tasks. Not only will this help them learn how to work together but it will also boost their self-esteem. Acknowledge the great job they are doing whether it’s making their beds each morning or helping a younger sibling to get dressed.

Email marketing offers a very effective way to increase brand awareness, connect and keep in touch with prospective customers, quickly promote products and services, and generate sales! However, without a list of opted-in email addresses, you won’t get very far with this powerful medium! So, how do you build an email list of potential customers who have stated their interest in what you offer and who have given permission to receive information from you?

Having the ability to create and maintain a list of e-mail addresses of recipients who are interested in your services will...

When it comes to housekeeping, does it seem you are the only one taking responsibility?
Would you like to find a way to share the roles of the house rather than be controlled by them?

By nature mums are caring individuals who take their responsibilities seriously and diligently. However this can often mean mums take on too many tasks, leading them to feel frustrated, exhausted and unfulfilled. To maintain an orderly home, it is often far easier to share the responsibilities and encourage each family member to get involved in maintaining a nice living environment.
