How do I work from home with two little kiddos and one on the way? This is definitely a question I get asked a lot by clients, friends and family.
So, it is really hard some days to either have enough time or to be motivated to get going, especially for me when I see all of the things that I could do around the house too.
But, the only way I have found it to work is just doing the work. I know so insightful right? But, seriously just getting started on even a small thing like sending an email gets the brain working and all of a sudden I am getting after it.
Sometimes, I get through my list and other times I get done and I don't understand how more didn't get done - but that is the reality. I will work before kid get up or during a snack/tv time or lunch or during naptime and sometimes at night after bedtime. So while it's nice to be my own boss and work from home regularly and be with my kiddos more, it definitely can have it's challenges. Literally sometimes all I get is 5 minutes to quickly respond to some emails or something.
Alongside, photography I have also been working in my second small business with Monat. I used to get paralyzed more often by my big To Do list and not do anything, but now I have learned how to see that I am capable and I can work and run two small businesses alongside being full time mom.
I think we are more capable than we think we are to fit in a second stream of income whether you work outside of the home full or part time or you work from home or you are a stay at home mom. Somehow it works and you just do it because you can.
