Running a business can definitely have its challenges but there are platforms and systems out there that can help you do some of the heavy lifting. As moms in business we're always looking for ways to stretch our time and/or clone ourselves. Tune in to get the inside scoop on the system I use to do this.

When we talk about assets most people think about their financial portfolio. How much is in my 401K? How much real estate do I have? What are my diamonds worth? This isn't wrong necessarily but in my opinion material things can easily be lost and gained again. Real value for me is in things that are irreplaceable. Join me as I share how I didn't always value this specific asset but had to learn a few hard lessons before I got it together.

In this episode I share a little about myself and some invaluable lessons I learned early on while freelancing. I had more to offer than what I was giving herself credit for and hope you can avoid some of the challenges I faced for not believing that.

Being a mom is the most rewarding, lowest monetarily paying and hardest job I've ever had BUT I wouldn't trade in that title for anything in this world! I decided that even though I'm a mom, I can be other things and you can too! I never thought I would want to own or run my own business...but here we are and it hands down has been the best decision I've made for myself.

Welcome to The Busy Mompreneur podcast where I get to tell you all about this journey of mine.

In this episode I share a little about myself and some invaluable lessons learned early on while freelancing. I had more to offer than what I was giving herself credit for and hope you can avoid some of the challenges I faced for not believing that.
