Last year The Work at Home Woman hosted a Business Book Club, where every couple of months participants would read and discuss a new business book. While there was a lot of interest expressed in the group, the biggest complaint that I heard from participants, is that there wasn’t enough time in the day to sit down and do the required reading.

Many of these women were juggling full-time jobs, busy family schedules and part-time businesses. Participation in the club was so low, that I decided to write an article specifically for these women on ways to save time – it didn’t help. Atlas, I finally decided to shut-down the club. (more…)

Do you sometimes feel like you are already dragging by lunchtime? Do you feel like if you don’t have that Snickers Bar by 3pm you will never make it until your husband gets home and you still have to run errands and make dinner for your family? You are not alone if you feel like you run out of steam more than once in a day.

You may not be alone in feeling as if you do not have enough energy to sustain you throughout the day- but it is NOT a necessary part of your daily cycle! You CAN eat and act in ways that will help you have more sustained energy throughout the day. (more…)

Being a work at home mom is amazing. Let’s face it; you have the best of both worlds… a 30 second commute to your office and the pleasure of spending as much time with your children as you want. Sadly, the biggest mistake that many mompreneur’s make is that they try to take their life and fit it into someone else calendar.

We’ve read and even heard many successful business owners talk about the importance of having a calendar and making a list and while those things are important many are still struggling. What makes perfect sense and works effortlessly for me and my kids, would be a complete nightmare for another family. (more…)

When you think of “balance”, what generally comes to mind? If you’re like most people, balance conjures thoughts of giving equal attention to every aspect of your life, like the pieces of a pie. This way of thinking leads people (especially busy work at home moms!) to feel quite pressured, as they struggle to give everything a “little bit” of their time. It can be difficult to feel successful when we’re being pulled in so many different directions at once.

As a Health Coach, I teach my clients to view the concept of balance differently. I ask my clients to think about their level of satisfaction in various areas of their lives. When they think about this, they quickly realize that their idea of balance is different than another person’s, and that this is completely okay. (more…)

I’m an information junky. The more info I can cram into my head, the more information I can share with you. The problem with information is that unless we put what we learn into action, it’s useless – plain and simple.

I try to spend at least 30 minute each day expanding my knowledge of Personal Development. I might spend that time researching the latest news in my industry or testing a new philosophy that I’ve come up with. I split my time between running a full-time Company, coaching clients from around the world, fulfilling speaking engagements and spending time with my family. Sometimes it’s a challenge just to find a few extra minutes for myself but I make sure I find the time because if I want to continue to manifest all of the things I want in life, I have to be disciplined in my efforts.
