What does it take to be a mumpreneur in 2021?

If we asked this question a year ago do you think it would have been the same answer as it maybe today? This year we have faced more challenges as mumpreneurs than any other year to date.

2020 has been the year when we were taught, more than ever, that life can change course at any given moment. With this in mind, I want to share this next part with you:

No matter what happens in life. The one thing you cannot do… is predict the future. Nothing stays the same EVER. That is the journey of life. It’s guaranteed. So whilst I would suggest we plan for the unknown, my message to you today is to prepare yourself to embrace change. In the physical, emotional and mental space.

When you embrace change with a positive mindset and see the truth in that there is nothing we cannot overcome. We then have the power to create a more substantial emotional resilience.

Here’s an example:

If this time last year you had built up your resilience as a mumpreneur who handles the fear of change with resilience, courage and positivity to adapt quickly and resourcefully then perhaps things would have been easier. What do you think?

It’s easier said than done, we all have our own wishes and desires to be better than before – I know this because you are reading this blog post.

If you had said to yourself last new year for the resolutions that you were going to saviour all the little moments as much as possible and not stress about all the things you haven’t been able to do, would that have made a difference to your life? Possibly not, because the fear of actually managing to NOT STRESS about everything would give you something to stress about? Right?!

I know, I know. Stressing, worrying or overthinking just becomes the norm when you are raising kids, running a business and focusing on ‘NOT STRESSING’ would ultimately make it much worse.

How do I know this? Well firstly it’s all part of the psychological wiring we have as humans and the EGO that prevents us from letting go the habits we hold that ‘keep us safe’. Which leads me on to tell you what it means to be a mumpreneur in 2021:

1. First and foremost… Compassion for YOU is the first thing to embrace. Being kind to yourself and reminding yourself of the amazing job you are doing each and every day. Lifting the negative self talk, mum guilt, shame and anxious / overthinking mind will literally be your biggest key to survival as a mumpreneur in 2021.
2. Create boundaries… Set your time with time blocks and non-negotiable time. Yes you can section time out of your day when you need to. Even an hour before bed, to get bits done will help you achieve far more than trying to juggle entertaining the kids, homeschooling and work all in one go.
3. Focus… Focus on ONE thing at a time. STOP the multi-tasking and doing everything. Give yourself a break with the overkill of doing it all. GET YOUR ALIGNED STRATEGY IN PLACE AND DO NOT WAIVER FROM IT. Seriously, it’s time to commit, and be consistent with what feels good to YOU.
4. Clarity… Yes we all need clarity, this reduces procrastination, fear, uncertainty. Getting clear on what you are aiming for and how you are going to get there will ultimately bring you the best results. Your marketing will be clearer, you will find your content with more ease and you will ATTRACT the clients to you.
5. Release the old… Yes lovely, it is time to find it in your heart, to forgive, let go and move on. Move away from the inner critic that is trying to keep you playing small, lack self belief and lack in confidence. It’s time to shine as the amazing woman you are. Both as a mumma and a woman in business. You’ve totally got this darling and by finding the strength to let go of the ‘old’ stagnant fears. You will succeed further than you ever thought possible.

Feeling empowered and ready to take on the world is not a magic wand moment, it takes practice. But with the 5 tips I’ve shared here YOU CAN and YOU WILL.
