Hey, friend! Today, we’re exploring the multifaceted world of being an entrepreneurial mom and creative business owner. Buckle up; it’s going to be an inspiring ride!

1. Wearing Many Hats with Style

Being a mom and a business owner means wearing many hats. The good news is that it creates a new adventure every day. Search for little glimmers – bits of joy – than you can embrace through the chaos. Did you have the best snack at lunch today? Savor it. Did you eat out side and a butterfly flew by you? Observe it and take a mental picture of it. Someone crack the best joke? Share it and keep the smiles going. 

2. The Art of Time Management

Time is a precious commodity, especially when you’re juggling client projects and family life. My secret? Scheduling, outsourcing, automating, prioritizing, and sometimes, letting go of perfection. It’s about finding a rhythm that works for you and your family. Here’s the thing, it’s always changing and I’m constantly learning of what I need to let go of or revisit.

3. Building a Brand with Heart

Here at Hey, Carl, we believe in authentic and personality-packed branding. As a female business owner in the creative industry, I know the importance of building a brand that resonates with your values and connects with your audience. Your brand is your story; make it a good one.

4. The Support System: Your Secret Weapon*

Whether it’s a fellow mompreneur, a supportive partner, or a community of like-minded creatives, building a support system is essential. Share your dreams, your struggles, and your triumphs. You’re not alone on this journey!

5. Self-Care: The Unsung Hero

In the hustle and bustle of entrepreneurship and motherhood, self-care often takes a backseat. But remember, taking care of yourself is not selfish; it’s necessary. Whether it’s a boxing session or a quiet moment with a good book, find what recharges you and make time for it. Literally put it in your schedule if you have to.

6. Dream Big, Start Small

From aiming for 100,000 annual revenue to building an online shop for passive income, dreaming big is part of the entrepreneurial spirit. But don’t forget to start small, celebrate the wins, and enjoy the process.

Being an entrepreneurial mom and creative business owner is a beautiful, complex, and rewarding journey. It’s about embracing the many roles you play, managing your time, building a brand with heart, leaning on your support system, prioritizing self-care, and daring to dream big.

So here’s to you, the entrepreneurial moms, the creative business owners, the dreamers, and the doers. Keep shining, keep striving, and keep it Hey, Carl!
