Sometimes, as I sit with my daughters, I wonder when they’ll fully grasp what their mom does. My oldest recently mentioned something about me being famous, and I had to laugh—I’m far from it! I record my podcast in my closet, and I run an online business that helps moms like me bring calmness to their chaos. My youngest, though, has no clue about the years of professional life I had before she was even born. It’s strange to think about, but it’s also a reminder of how much we, as mothers, shape our families while growing our businesses.

What we are and who we are as mothers is the most important thing we can do, and being able to maintain that identity while consistently growing our businesses—without sacrificing ourselves or our homes—is exactly what I do. You don’t have to choose between being a great mom and a successful businesswoman. With the right systems in place, you can the perfect work-life balance.

Just the other day, I was having a big family dinner with my 93-year-old grandmother. She told me a story I had never heard before, and it got me thinking about how much she’s seen and experienced in her life, and how those experiences shaped her as a mother. The way she lived her life influenced my mother, and in turn, it has shaped who I am today—and who my daughters will become. This generational thread, this call to live with purpose while embracing both motherhood and entrepreneurship, feels like a mission I’ve been tasked with, and I’m ready to lead it.

Here’s the truth: it’s simple, but it’s not easy. Living in a world full of distractions, where most people are more attached to their phones than their passions, makes it hard. But you’re different. You’re listening to this podcast, reading this blog, because you care. You’re driven by passion, desire, and a lot of heart behind everything you do.

There are plenty of people who find excuses to be less than what they’re capable of, but not you. You’re ready to fuel the machine that will drive your life toward calmness and control. So, where do we start?

Step 1: Make Your Home Efficient

If you want to consistently grow your business without sacrificing your family, the first step is to make your home efficient. How serious are you about this? How much do you care about creating a home that runs smoothly?

Efficiency in the home means so much more than just organizing your shelves. It’s about the way you parent, the way you cook, the way you manage your time. If you’re spending countless hours arguing with your husband over trivial things, that’s not efficient. If you’re wasting time feeling overwhelmed by the little things, that’s not efficient either.

You need a home management system—a solid, reliable plan that helps you handle everything from meal planning to laundry to managing the kids’ schedules. This is step one: creating an environment where your home runs like a well-oiled machine, so you can focus on your business without the chaos.

You don’t have to choose between being a great mom and a successful businesswoman. With the right systems in place, you can the perfect work-life balance.

Step 2: Organize Your Business

Next, you need to get your business organized. I can’t stress this enough—if your business isn’t organized, you’ll constantly feel like you’re drowning. There’s no turning back once you realize the power of an organized business. The reward? The ability to be present for your kids, to leave your laptop behind without feeling guilty, and to truly enjoy your time with family. This is the work-life balance we all dream about.

The transformation I’ve seen in other moms who have taken this step is incredible. They light up when they tell me about the changes in their lives, and I know it’s possible for you too. It’s time to get your business organized. Create systems, workflows, and routines that allow you to run your business smoothly without sacrificing your time with your family. If you’re ready to jump into this step, come and join me in the Systemize To Scale program, a 12-month program designed to help you consistently grow your business without sacrificing your family.

Step 3: Claim Your Space And Face Your Fears

The third step is to claim your space and face the fears that are holding you back. This is where it gets real—where you have to start setting big goals and telling people about them.

When I decided to run a half marathon, I didn’t keep it to myself. I signed up for the race, told people about it, and then I did it. The same principle applies to your business. You need to have the audacity to say out loud what you’re going to do, even if it scares you. Share your goals with your husband, your friends, and in my Facebook group. The more you talk about it, the more real it becomes, and the more motivated you’ll be to follow through.

Step 4: Create An Action Plan

Finally, you need to create an action plan. This is where you map out exactly how you’re going to achieve your goals, step by step. Take a look at what’s holding you back, what fears you need to address, and then create a plan to overcome those obstacles.

An action plan is more than just a to-do list. It’s a strategic roadmap that guides you from where you are now to where you want to be. Whether your goal is to grow your business, get organized, or finally tackle that big project, an action plan will keep you focused and on track.

The Power Of Systemized Growth

Imagine waking up every day without the madness, without the chaos, and actually moving the needle in your life. Imagine having the peace and bandwidth to sit down, be creative, and be productive. It’s a beautiful thing, and it’s absolutely possible.
