Often times as mompreneurs we accept jobs, projects and clients into our lives that stress us out, drain us and overwhelm us. Why? Well, many times it's because we're motivated to do so by the fear of missing out on a great opportunity, or because we need the money, or because we think we have to say yes to anything and everything that helps our businesses grow. Unfortunately, saying yes to projects that don't interest you, work that drains you, or clients that don't pay you more often leads to failure than business growth. On today's Audio Blog, Lara Galloway shares her strategy to help mompreneurs know how, when and why to say no, and how doing so is saying yes to their success!

I've been answering a lot of questions in my coaching groups lately about the idea of creating a sustainable business model for mom entrepreneurs and work at home moms. The bottom line is this: if you're running a business that is running you ragged, stressing you out, taking up all of your time and leaving very little of you for your family to enjoy, then you (and your business) won't last for long. One of the best ways to make your business sustainable is to learn how to automate some of the actions and processes you do over and over. We all have to develop strategies to find new clients and keep our sales pipelines full. This takes a lot of time, effort and energy.Think about it--if you could get these tasks that you have to do repeatedly off your to-do list, you could spend your time doing something else, like go on a bike ride with the kids, or read a magazine while the kids run through the sprinkler, or you could spend some time creating a vision for the future of your business rather than just scrambl

Many of us mompreneurs try to protect or hide the fact that we're also solopreneurs, a company of one. Why? For most, we're concerned that we won't be seen as credible, professional, established, or simply "big enough" as compared to our competitors who have whole departments working for them. But is this necessarily true? What if the thing that's most appealing to your potential clients is your uniqueness? Are you trying to conceal that uniqueness in your marketing efforts? If you're using the "royal we" on your website rather than speaking straight from your heart and gut, chances are you're not attracting your ideal clients and you're spending a lot of time and energy trying to be something you're not. Tune in to today's Audio Blog and learn how being real speaks a lot louder and sends a better message than believing that what you are isn't enough.
