Why Mompreneurs Make Excellent Moms

Guilt is that nagging ever-constant feeling for every working mother. Entrepreneur moms (or mompreneurs for short)? I’ll take that guilt and double it. A large part of this guilt is that mompreneurs often don’t have definite start and end-times which blur the lines between work and home. There is ALWAYS something you could be doing to grow your business or help your family. Typically, mompreneurs are mere steps away from their home-office or computer which makes it very tempting to add more tasks to their day. However, all of these days filled with sweat, tears, and guilt are not in vain. Being an entrepreneur can actually make you a better mom. Here are 6 benefits of being a mompreneur.

Efficient

Let’s face it, mompreneurs are efficient. Many mompreneurs juggle their family, homes, day-jobs, side hustles, friends, and more. This requires them to be laser focused on what needs to be done and how it can be done most efficiently. There is no wasted time here! Need time-management tips, seek out a mompreneur!

Resourceful

It takes a village to raise both a family and a business. Mompreneurs know where and when to get help when it needed. They typically have a network of experts at their fingertips to help them with whatever happens to come up. Mompreneurs are also very resourceful with technology. They look for ways anywhere they can to make their lives easier. Resourcefulness is an essential skill to have and (even better) pass along to your children.

Your Best Self

Mompreneurs have the opportunity to be their best selves. Owning your own business is challenging, exciting, and provides you an essential creative outlet. The sense of accomplishment that you get from growing your business from the ground up permeates into all other areas of your life. You are more confident, happy, and fulfilled. Best of all, your family sees this confidence and pride .They are just as proud of you as you are!

Role Model

I was very lucky to have entrepreneurial women in my life that I was able to look up to. For example, my grandmother grew up in the moutains of Kentucky and never went past the 8th grade until later in life. After she had her children, she went back to school, earned her GED, and went on to own several rental properties. The example that she set was profound. She taught me that you can do anything that you set your mind to and that women can and should be business owners. I hope that I am passing a similar message on to my children and nieces and nephews. Too often, we think of the negative effects that our businesses have on our families, we don’t pay enough attention to the positive impact that it has. You are playing an important part in empowering our future generation!

Financial Security

Earning potential is one of the main reasons that mompreneurs start their own business (as it should be!). This income is super important and beneficial to the household finances. Whether you are the sole-breadwinner or just earn a little extra spending money, the money that you earn from your business helps provide for your family and afford them opportunities that wouldn’t exist otherwise. Something you should be very proud of!

Build a Legacy

Most business owners dream of building a business that will live on and continue to help others long after they are gone. They want to be known for something and have made an impact. Being a mompreneur affords you the opportunity to do just that. Building a business with values and principles that aim to help solve other people’s problems is the key to building a legacy and giving your family something to be proud of for years to come. You rock mompreneur!
