The Guilty Mom Entrepreneur

There’s no perfect way to balance business and family life, but there is a way to feel proud about your accomplishments every day.

MSNBC:
Most mom entrepreneurs start their businesses to have a career that’s flexible for family life. We own our businesses so that we don’t have to work traditional hours and can create schedules that support motherhood. There’s no perfect balance, however.

Most mom entrepreneurs I speak with are in a daily struggle. When they’re working, they feel like they should be with their kids. When they’re with their kids, they feel like they should be working. A colleague of mine recently attended a business lecture where the speaker said that excellence comes from total attention. She said that you can’t make it to the top without total focus. That speaker was obviously not a mom. Mom entrepreneurs are split into so many directions. It’s hard to have focus. We are a mom, wife, friend, sister, cook, housekeeper and the list goes on.

We feel like we rush through just about everything and that the clock is ticking from the time the alarm goes off. We feel guilty that we’re not giving anyone or anything the attention that we would if only there was more time in the day. I feel like not a day goes by that I don’t forget to bring my son’s basketball shoes to practice or my daughter’s snack to class. I worry what the other moms must think. Here I am creating this business so I can be a mom first and foremost, and yet I’m still not the traditional stay-at-home mom. The guilt can consume you. So, what is a mom entrepreneur to do? Story continues here.
