As mom entrepreneurs, we wear soo many different hats that it is truly impossible to keep up with everything and to do everything WELL. Do you find that in your life and business?

Today we have a snow day and I have a sick little guy who needs mommy to take care of him. I also have a business to run, goals to meet and things to do!! It’s days like today that truly pull me in many directions and if I allow it,  frustration begin to build up.

As a coach, I have learned to accept the feeling and to embrace it and to step back to see what is “GREAT” about this situation. I have also learned to develop my own ‘PLAN B’ for days like today which allow me to still move forward with what I need to accomplish. What about you? Do you have a plan B?

What is soo GREAT about today is that I can truly take care of my little Thomas and spend some quality time with him..reading, playing hot wheels, painting, and simply hanging out. To me, that is the BEST gift ever. They are little once and soon he will be ‘too cool’ to hang with mom! Days like these almost force me to stop and re-focus and really think about my WHY. WHY I work for myself, why I LOVE what I do, WHY I want to empower women…every day is such a gift.  Do you feel the same way? Is it harder for you to embrace?

I also have a plan B in place for when my schedule isn’t ‘scheduled’ due to snow, sickness..etc.  I have 3 action items on my list that I can absolutely take no matter where I am , what I am doing and what circumstance arrises.  3 steps that take little time, little effort but create a feeling of “momentum”.

One action step I can take that takes a minute or two, a pen and paper is to brainstorm a list of at least 10-20 article topics I can write about/ blog about and create videos about.

Another action step I can take is to post a quick social media post with a quick tip or an announcement about a  program or telelclass I have going. This can be done in one step by registering at www.ping.fm

The third action step I can take is to quickly check in with my VA and to pass along a quick project for her to get started on. I can do this anywhere using my the awesome functions on my phone.

Done deal. 3 steps that create movement in my business and to allow me to take care of my little guy and to be celebrate the most important job in the world. Being mom!

What about you? What will your 3 step Plan B be? I’d love to have you share yours below!
