Dear Mompreneur: You Can’t Do It All (And You Don’t Have To)
You started your business for freedom. Freedom to make your own schedule. Freedom to actually enjoy your kids while building something that lights you up.
But somewhere along the way, freedom turned into juggling client calls during soccer practice, answering emails at midnight, and wondering how the heck you’re supposed to keep growing without cloning yourself.
Sound familiar? Yeah, I’ve been there. And here’s the truth no one tells you: doing everything yourself is the fastest way to stall your business and your sanity.
The Big Pain Point: “I can’t afford to hire help.”
I hear this all the time. But here’s the kicker: you can’t afford not to.
Every hour you spend trying to DIY everything: social media, admin, bookkeeping, client work, snacks for the class party… yeah, I see you, you’re stealing time from the work that actually grows your business. And from the life you wanted when you started this thing.
If you’re stuck in the weeds, you can’t step into the CEO role your business desperately needs.
The Mindset Shift You Need
Hiring isn’t about losing control or throwing money away. It’s about buying back your time so you can actually grow and breathe again.
And no, it doesn’t have to be scary. It doesn’t have to feel corporate. It can be simple, human, and totally aligned with your values.
Start small. One role. One task. One thing that makes your brain unclench.
Ask Yourself This One Question
If I could take ONE thing off my plate tomorrow, what would it be? Remember, you can hire a part time, 5 hour a week freelancer. It doesn’t have to be a 40-hour-per-week employee!
That’s your first hire. Start there. Don’t overcomplicate it.
You Don’t Have to Do It All
You were never meant to. You built this business for more freedom, more joy, and more time with your family, and not for a front-row seat on the burnout train.
Hiring the right support is how you get that back. And when you’re ready, I’ll show you how to do it without the corporate fluff, without wasting money, and without losing your mind.
