I applaud all the Mom entrepreneurs who are doing such an incredible job raising their children to be good citizens and running their businesses at the same time. Where would we be without your creativity and your ingenuity? You have mastered the art of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship – your contribution to society is priceless.
Who else could balance a baby on the hip, cook and conduct business all at the same time – you are a multi tasking octopus.
The Mom Entrepreneurs, who realize that it is unhealthy to wear the SUPER WOMAN crown or rule the kingdom of MARTYRDOM, has a system in place that keeps her sane and moving in the direction to create the life of her dreams.
Mike Michalowicz who wrote one of the top five business book
“The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur” posted “the mom entrepreneur blog,” with over 100 tips on how to manage you time as a mom entrepreneur.

Keeping my calendar updated so that there are no conflicts between my children’s events and doing business.
Accepting that there would be limitations in profits in putting my children first.
Not being a super woman by allowing my children to contribute to the upkeep of the Home.
The business was part of the family – children’s participation required.
Here are the other 100+tips.

Adalia, Thank you for this amazing post! It is truly a gift when a beautiful and successful mom entrepreneur like yourself commends and provides insight for other mom entrepreneurs. As you know, we sometimes need to hear from other women who are going through the same things. I especially love this tip: “Not being a super woman by allowing my children to contribute to the upkeep of the Home.” I am a busy mom to a 1 and a half yr old with another on the way, I started my own Virtual Assistant business while staying home to raise my son, it is definitely trying and very busy but I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world!
My contributions is this – Make it a priority to take a break from work, household chores etc. to really be present in your children’s lives. Take them for a walk or bike ride, play a board game, cuddle and read stories, turn yourself off from the outside world and really be PRESENT! Your work and dishes will be there when your done, it can wait. And your children will feel fulfilled and important. Again, thank you Adalia for providing inspiration and love for all the courageous mom entrepreneurs out here. You are a blessing!
