Traci’s Tips for Balance in Life
- You can’t be everything and everywhere. It takes a village to raise a family.
- Surround yourself be people who understand you, believe in your concept and passion, and value what you do. Make sure everyone is aligned to your vision.
- Build a support network by hiring the right caregivers and relying on friends and family.
Some Advantages Moms Have in Business
- Resiliency. Moms generally have thick skins.
- Practicality of empathy and understanding. If you can negotiate with children, you can negotiate anything.
- Multi-tasking. Moms are able to manage jumping from one thing to another.
Advice For Moms Starting a Business
- Be realistic. Ask yourself: on your darkest day, will your passion get you through it? Feel the fear and do it anyway.
- Give yourself time to work on your business.
- Understand cash and cash flow. Rather than focus on business planning, it’s less daunting to just put down your thoughts.
