Hey there, fellow mamas! Let's get real for a moment: running a business while juggling kids, school activities, and household chores can be challenging. As we navigate this unpredictable journey, we may come across new opportunities or interests that could potentially benefit our businesses. But how can we adapt and stay at the top of our game? Fear not, my friend! In this post, I'll share some of my personal experiences and tips on how to adapt your business.
<div data-hook="rcv-block5">&nbsp;</div>
Stay Connected with Your Customers
As an entrepreneur, you know how important it is to connect with your customers. By keeping up with their needs and interests, you can adjust your business accordingly. Take advantage of social media and other online platforms to stay in touch with your clients. Join groups and forums related to your business and engage in conversations. Ask for feedback, offer surveys, or conduct focus groups. This will help you identify gaps in your products or services and come up with new ideas to meet your customers' demands.
<div data-hook="rcv-block8">&nbsp;</div>
Embrace Changes
Adapting your business means embracing changes. It's okay to let go of old ways of doing things and try something new. You don't have to rebrand or overhaul your entire operation. Start small and experiment with new ideas. For example, if you own a bakery, try adding a new flavor to your menu or offering gluten-free options. If you're a blogger, try incorporating video content or podcasts into your platform. Remember that change is inevitable and can lead to growth and success.
<div data-hook="rcv-block11">&nbsp;</div>
Be Flexible
Flexibility is key to adapting your business to new opportunities or interests. As a mom, you probably have a lot on your plate. But, being open to new possibilities and willing to adjust your schedule if needed can be a game-changer. This might mean taking on new projects, partnering with other businesses, or even expanding your product or service offerings. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and take calculated risks.
<div data-hook="rcv-block14">&nbsp;</div>
Continue to Learn and Improve
One thing I've learned as a business owner is that there's always room for improvement. Staying up-to-date with industry trends, attending workshops and conferences, or taking online courses can help you gain new skills and knowledge. This can also open up new opportunities for your business. The more you learn and grow, the better equipped you are to adapt and thrive in your industry.
<div data-hook="rcv-block17">&nbsp;</div>
Trust Your Instincts
As a mom, your intuition is a valuable asset. Trusting your instincts can help you make crucial decisions and navigate new challenges. Don't be afraid to follow your gut and take bold steps towards your goals. You know your business better than anyone else, and taking risks can pay off in the long run.
<div data-hook="rcv-block20">&nbsp;</div>
Adapting your business can be a daunting task, but you're already equipped with the skills and mindset needed to succeed. By staying connected with your customers, embracing changes, being flexible, continuing to learn and improve, and trusting your instincts, you can stay at the forefront of your industry and take advantage of new opportunities or interests that come your way. So go ahead and conquer the business world, one diaper change at a time!

How to Adapt Your Business Like The Boss That You Are Mama

Running a business is an exciting and rewarding journey, but it's not without its challenges. Setbacks are an inevitable part of the process, and learning how to deal with them effectively is key to long-term success. In this blog post, we'll explore what setbacks are, why they occur, and provide you with actionable strategies to overcome them, grow your business, and become more resilient.

Running a successful business can be challenging, especially for mothers who are trying to balance work and family responsibilities. One way to make things easier is to form partnerships with other businesses. However, choosing the right partnerships is key to ensuring that your business thrives. In this blog, we will discuss how you can choose appropriate business partnerships.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Choose Partnerships that Complement Your Business
When looking for business partnerships, it is important to choose partnerships that complement your business. Look for businesses that offer products or services that your customers/clients/investors may be interested in, but that you do not offer. For instance, if you sell baby clothes, you may want to partner with a business that sells baby toys or baby accessories. This will help you reach a wider audience and increase your sales. 
<div data-hook="rcv-block8">&nbsp;</div>
Look for Partnerships that Share Your Values
It is important to choose partnerships that share your values. Working with businesses that have similar values will help you build a strong relationship based on trust and mutual respect. For instance, if your business is focused on sustainability, you may want to partner with a business that shares this value. This will help you promote your brand and reach customers who are interested in sustainable products.&nbsp;
<div data-hook="rcv-block11">&nbsp;</div>
Choose Partnerships that Offer Mutual Benefits
When choosing partnerships, it is important to look for opportunities that offer mutual benefits. A good partnership should be a win-win situation for both businesses. For instance, if you partner with a business that has a large social media following, you may be able to reach a wider audience through social media. In return, you can offer the other business exposure to your customers. 
<div data-hook="rcv-block14">&nbsp;</div>
Consider the Reputation of Potential Partners
Before entering into a partnership, it is important to consider the reputation of potential partners. Look for businesses that have a good reputation and are well-respected in their industry. This will help you build credibility and trust with your customers. Additionally, working with reputable businesses can help you gain access to new opportunities and resources. 
<div data-hook="rcv-block17">&nbsp;</div>
Choose Partnerships that are Easy to Manage
When choosing partnerships, it is important to consider how easy they will be to manage. Look for partnerships that do not require a lot of time or resources to maintain. This will help you focus on growing your business and meeting the needs of your customers. Additionally, partnerships that are easy to manage can help you build a strong relationship with your partner business.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
In conclusion, choosing appropriate partnerships is crucial to the success of businesses. By choosing partnerships that complement your business, share your values, offer mutual benefits, have a good reputation, and are easy to manage, you can build strong relationships that will help your business thrive and allow you to focus on your priorities. Remember to take your time and carefully consider your options before entering into any partnerships.

Decentral Mamas builds a winning schedule using Notion

<div id="viewer-7eieo" class="_2vd5k iG0hRj"><a class="_3mt3E _3CWa- N9BmOG N9BmOG" href="https://affiliate.notion.so/1xn7foevowbx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">

</a></div>
Building a schedule for your business is essential to ensure that all tasks are completed on time and that everyone is working efficiently. A schedule can help to increase productivity, reduce stress levels, and ensure that deadlines are met. In the past, we tackled <a class="_3Bkfb _1lsz7" href="https://www.decentralmamas.xyz/post/time-management-tips-for-web3-business-mamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-hook="linkViewer">time management</a> and <a class="_3Bkfb _1lsz7" href="https://www.decentralmamas.xyz/post/mom-boss-how-to-stay-focused-and-achieve-your-business-goals" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-hook="linkViewer">staying focused</a>, which both require the use of a schedule. Therefore in this blog, we will discuss how to build a schedule for your business that fits your needs as a mother as well.
&nbsp;
Identify your goals, priorities and objectives
The first step in building a schedule for a business is to identify your goals, your priorities and your objectives. What do you want to achieve? What are your priorities? How much time do you want to allocate to building the business vs spending with the kids? Are the kids in school? Do they have activities you need to work around? Do you have a spouse you need to factor in? Once you have identified your goals, priorities and objectives, you can start to create a schedule that will help you achieve them.&nbsp;
<div data-hook="rcv-block8">&nbsp;</div>
Determine the tasks that need to be completed
Once you have identified your goals, priorities and objectives, the next step is to determine the tasks that need to be completed to achieve them. Do you need to set aside a few hours per week for recording content? Do you have to take one of your kids to piano lessons? Do you have to have supper on the table at the same time everyday? That last one is not to be judgmental at all, even I as a single mother, insist on supper being on the table by 5:30pm everyday. Make a list of all the tasks that need to be completed per month, per week and per day, and then prioritize them based on their importance and urgency.&nbsp;
<div data-hook="rcv-block11">&nbsp;</div>
Assign tasks to team members
After you have determined the tasks that need to be completed, the next step is to assign them to team members, if you have any. This can also apply to family members pitching in for tasks that need to be done around the house. Consider each team member's strengths and weaknesses and assign tasks accordingly. Make sure that each team member has a clear understanding of their responsibilities and deadlines. 
<div data-hook="rcv-block14">&nbsp;</div>
Create a timeline
Once you have assigned tasks to team members, the next step is to create a timeline. Start by identifying the deadline for each task and work backward to determine when each task needs to be started. An example of this is if I want my Parenting in Web3 episodes to go out on Tuesday mornings like they normally do, even with me switching the medium for it, I need to schedule in time to record it a couple days prior and schedule in time as well to edit it. Make sure that you allow enough time for each task to be completed and build in some buffer time for unexpected delays, because as we all know, there's almost always delays when it comes to kids. 
<div data-hook="rcv-block17">&nbsp;</div>
Use scheduling tools
There are many scheduling tools available that can help you to create and manage a schedule for your business. The one I use and love is <a class="_3Bkfb _1lsz7" href="https://affiliate.notion.so/1xn7foevowbx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-hook="linkViewer">Notion</a>. It not only allows me to create a schedule that works for my particular needs, but it allows me to track the progress of a particular task, so I know what still needs to be done at all times. It even allows me to share the schedule with team members as needed, so that they know what is assigned to them and where it is in the timeline and progress report. Notion also allowed me to see where my schedule just wasn't working for me/fitting and made it easy to move things around as needed. There are other tools, but this one is my personal favorite and is actually widely used by people who work from home/remote. Whichever tool you choose however, can help you to track progress, manage deadlines, and communicate with team members.&nbsp;

<div data-hook="rcv-block24">&nbsp;</div>
Review and adjust the schedule
Building a schedule for a business is not a one-time activity. It is important to review and adjust the schedule regularly to ensure that it remains relevant and effective. Because after all, those soccer practices don't last all year, and in the summer you might spend more time gardening. But let's also not forget that not all business assets (ie podcast, vlog, blog series..etc) need to run forever or are a sure thing. Sometimes they are only meant to be factored in temporarily. Other times, though you intended to make them last longer, they are not performing, so you have to make the decision to use the time scheduled for them for something that will prove to be more productive. Make sure to communicate any changes to team members and adjust deadlines accordingly. 
<div data-hook="rcv-block27">&nbsp;</div>
I have recently made changes to my schedule for building out the Decentral Mamas and <a class="_3Bkfb _1lsz7" href="https://twitter.com/elpeedaacademy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-hook="linkViewer">Elpeeda Academy</a>. I will be publishing these changes very soon, as examples, but also for my community, as I always strive for transparency. 
<div data-hook="rcv-block29">&nbsp;</div>
Building a schedule for a business is essential to ensure that all tasks are completed on time and that everyone is working efficiently. By following these steps, you can create a schedule that will help you achieve your goals, increase productivity, and reduce stress levels, all while fitting your unique needs as a mama. Remember to regularly review and adjust the schedule to ensure that it remains relevant and effective.

In the past, we tackled time management and staying focused, which both require the use of a schedule. Therefore in this blog, we will discuss how to build a schedule for your business that fits your needs as a mother as well.

Building A Winning Business Schedule That Meets Your Needs Mama

Being a mom in business can be a challenging balancing act. Juggling the demands of parenthood with the demands of running a business can often leave you feeling overwhelmed and pulled in multiple directions. However, with focus and determination, it's possible to achieve your goals and build a successful business while still being an attentive and present parent.&nbsp;
I know, you may be thinking "this sounds an awful lot like your <a class="_3Bkfb _1lsz7" href="https://www.decentralmamas.xyz/post/time-management-tips-for-web3-business-mamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-hook="linkViewer">Time Management</a>" piece. As it should. They are a very similar topic. And in order to help with your time management, you need to stay focused, so here are some tips (that I personally try my best to live by and one I fail miserably at) to help moms in business stay focused on their goals:&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Set clear and achievable goals
Start by setting clear and achievable goals for yourself and your business. Set clear goals for both the long-term and short-term. Break down your long-term goals into smaller, more manageable tasks that you can work on every day. And remember to celebrate each milestone as work towards those goals. Don't wait until the end, as it could take a while to get there, depending on the size of the goal. This will help you stay focused and motivated, and ensure that you are making progress, every step of the way.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Prioritize your time
As a mom in business, your time is precious. It's important to prioritize your time and focus on the tasks that will have the greatest impact on your business. Make a to-do list each day and prioritize your tasks based on their importance and urgency. I have recently found <a class="_3Bkfb _1lsz7" href="https://affiliate.notion.so/decentralmamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-hook="linkViewer">Notion</a> (partner link) to be a very useful tool for this, as it allows me to create a task and then move it along in the "process" on my workflow as it gets done (ie, "not started", "in progress", "completed" ..etc). If you only have 4 hours per day to devote towards your business, you want those 4 hours to be as productive as possible, so make sure you have a clear understanding of what would maximize your efforts during that time.

</div>
</div>
Create a schedule
Creating a schedule can help you stay organized and focused on your goals. I have talked about this before numerous times and you can see/hear it in my daily update videos as well (which you can find <a class="_3Bkfb _1lsz7" href="https://www.youtube.com/@decentralmamas/shorts" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-hook="linkViewer">here</a>). I highly recommend having it written down where you can visibly see it, until it becomes second nature for you. But don't forget to set aside specific times for work, family time, and self-care in that schedule as well. The key is to stick to your schedule as much as possible, but also be flexible enough to adjust it as needed.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Stay focused
It's easy to get distracted when you're working from home or running a business while taking care of children. I have talked about this before in "<a class="_3Bkfb _1lsz7" href="https://www.decentralmamas.xyz/post/time-management-tips-for-web3-business-mamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-hook="linkViewer">Time Management</a>", specifically about avoiding the "time wasters", but there's more to it and will continue to bring it up as this is one of the hardest things for those of us that work from home. To stay focused, eliminate as many distractions as possible. Turn off your phone notifications, close unnecessary tabs on your computer, and work in a quiet, distraction-free space. Also stick to that schedule -- mama, I know that laundry and those dishes need to get done, but if 9am -12pm is work time, those other tasks can wait until 12:30pm. 
<div data-hook="rcv-block23">&nbsp;</div>
Take care of yourself
As a mom in business, it's important to take care of yourself both physically and mentally. Make time for exercise, healthy eating, and self-care activities. When you take care of yourself, you'll be better equipped to handle the demands of running a business and taking care of your family. So make sure to have that scheduled in as well and stick to it. Mama, you have to take care of yourself too. 
<div data-hook="rcv-block26">&nbsp;</div>
Ask for help
Admittedly, I am the worst at this part. But I know it's also important and will help with reaching those goals. So don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Whether it's hiring a virtual assistant, asking a family member to watch your children, or delegating tasks to your team, asking for help can help you stay focused on your goals and achieve success.&nbsp;
Being a mom in business requires focus and determination. By setting clear goals, prioritizing your time, creating a schedule, staying focused, taking care of yourself, and asking for help when you need it, you can achieve your goals and build a successful business while still being an attentive and present parent. Remember, it's possible to have it all with the right mindset and approach.

Mom Boss: How To Stay Focused and Achieve Your Business Goals

In the thick of the bear, when established coins are at a low and NFTs even lower, Many have left the market altogether and smaller chains are struggling with volume overall. The only excitment you'll find is on ETH where memecoins are popping off and gas fees are through the roof.&nbsp;
or so one would think...
Except on Cronos, the flagship NFT Marketplace, <a href="https://app.ebisusbay.com">Ebisu's Bay,</a> recently dropped something that brings the chain to life again, maybe not in volume yet, but in overall morale and hope! The buzz has started, projects have begun making announcements of their involvement and support, some have even gone as far as rewriting their roadmap for it, alliances and collaborations have been quickly made and strategies formed.&nbsp;
I am talking about the recent presale of their token $FRTN, made only available to those who were holding an Ebisu's Bay NFT, to be used for the upcoming gamefication of their marketplace. They've created (still in early stages) a Risk style game (yes, similar to the beloved board game, but with their own twist) and integrated it with the use of and promotion of their marketplace.&nbsp;
The presale took place from Monday May 1st to the 7th and is now closed, with aproximately 55% of the 1% of total supply allocated for the presale sold! The remaining 45% of the presale allocation is to be divided between the holders of the NFTs that were dropped to the buyers of the token, based on the 5 different tiers of purchase. For example:&nbsp; <a href="https://twitter.com/decentralmamas">Decentral Mamas</a> purchased 1000 tokens. We were immediately airdropped a common NFT, that granted us an additional drop (trickled over time) of approx 1300 tokens (based on numbers after presale was complete).&nbsp;
A couple others purchased 250K tokens, and will be receiving approximately 449K tokens airdropped, trickled in over time.&nbsp;
And there are 3 other tiers in between those two. You can view the document <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Sx06X69ChlQm8JYPfGMN3k0NFex_l1Gkx8DPL482xXw/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> with the breakdown that's been made public, provided by Zeus, the founder of <a href="https://twitter.com/FoxFraternity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cronos Fox Fraternity</a>.&nbsp;
The inital testing begins this coming Monday, where everyone who bought during the presale can participate. And tokens will be made available for public sale soon! Below are just some of the projects/communities that are getting involved:
&nbsp;<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvoAtgZWYA4sOLn?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096" alt="" width="639" height="334">
So what IS the use of $FRTN, the Ryoshi Dynasties and how does it all work with the marketplace?&nbsp;
I would advise anyone and everyone to read the <a href="https://lotusgalaxy.docsend.com/view/cn6irmx92xy2ek2f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whitepaper provided by Ebisu's Bay</a> as it goes into great detail of how all the tokens, and functions of the game and marketplace work together.&nbsp;
That being said, this image below also illustrates it very well.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvZLrwKacAEeQZW?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096" alt="" width="397" height="446">
Basically with the purchase of Fortune tokens, you get:
<ul>
<li>Voting Power -- on your favorite factions and on the amount of rewards a voted faction can receive (for the NFT Holders of that faction)</li>
<li>Ability to Assign Troops -- join forces with a faction</li>
<li>Ability to Delegate Troops -- you can send your "mercenaries" to help the faction that makes the best offer for them</li>
<li>Staking -- earn $Mitama, $FRTN and Troops</li>
</ul>
Also, as shown in the <a href="https://lotusgalaxy.docsend.com/view/cn6irmx92xy2ek2f">whitepaper</a> and the image above, you have the opportunity to gain additional rewards through acquiring certain buildings within the game, as well as completing tasks and quests (reward is $Koban -- a token needed for the game play). The Ryoshi Tales NFTs (VIP &amp; Holiday) act as additional boosters to APR as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;
But why are projects really getting excited about this game? Well because they not only have the option to stake to gain rewards for their holders, but they also have the opportunity to gain access to a Town Hall through game play and provide a staking option for holders of the designated NFT from their project. Also the (weekly and seasonal) winning projects can get priority listing and collection highlights on the Ebisu's Bay NFT marketplace, on top of possibly receiving rewards. And if that's not enough, it's a fantastic opportunity for them to create collaborations/alliances/partnerships with other projects on the chain.&nbsp;
As you can see, there are many moving parts to this and I likely haven't even touched them all. I highly recommend everyone give that&nbsp;<a href="https://lotusgalaxy.docsend.com/view/cn6irmx92xy2ek2f">whitepaper</a> a read (if you haven't alread) as there are so many reasons to get excited and participate!&nbsp;
... so now the question remains ... Are YOU battle ready?

In today's digital age, social media is a vital tool for businesses of all sizes. With billions of people using social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter, it's no wonder that businesses are using these platforms to promote their products and services. However, simply having a presence on social media is not enough to grow your business. To truly succeed on social media, you need to monitor and analyze your analytics to make data-driven decisions. This is especially important for mothers who are running their own businesses while juggling other responsibilities, as it's needed to be efficient and effective with what little time they have.&nbsp;
Checking your analytics regularly does take a bit of time, but it also allows you to see what is working and what is not. This means that you can adjust your social media strategy accordingly to ensure that you are reaching your target audience effectively. For example, if you notice that your posts are not getting as much engagement as you would like, you can experiment with different types of content to see what resonates with your audience. This could mean posting more videos, using more hashtags, or sharing more user-generated content. By analyzing your social media analytics, you can also gain valuable insights into your audience. This includes information such as their age, gender, location, and interests.&nbsp;
By understanding your audience, you can tailor your content to their needs and preferences, which will ultimately lead to higher engagement and conversions. This is especially true if you have not designated who your audience is to begin with. Let me explain:
- Decentral Mamas target audience is moms, aged 18-45. There will be others out of that scope, but that's the target. So content needs to be tailored for them.&nbsp;
- An accountant however will not necessarily have a set audience. Yes, typically they are going to want to reach business owners primarily, but that covers such a wide range of people. Checking their analytics and learning that perhaps their main audience so far is men, aged 30-45 with interests in engineering and sports, provides the opportunity to capitalize (yes THAT word) on that information and tailor their content to them specifically.&nbsp;
Another important reason for monitoring your social media analytics is to track your ROI (return on investment). This means that you can see how much revenue your social media efforts are generating and whether your investment in social media is justified and/or requires a pivot in methods used. By tracking your ROI, you can make informed decisions about where to allocate your resources in the future. Many will argue that it's near impossible to track ROI through Social Media and overall I believe that to be true. That being said, you'll be able to tell to some degree, by looking at the analytics whether or not the "clicks on link" or "clicks on profile" is being converted to buys. If not, you can dig in deeper as to why.&nbsp;
Additionally, checking your analytics regularly can help you stay on top of trends in your industry. By monitoring your competitors' social media activity and analyzing their metrics, you can gain insights into what is working for them and what isn't. This can help you stay ahead of the curve and adapt your own social media strategy accordingly. This part is very important for all platforms, but even more so for trend heavy ones such as TikTok, Youtube and Instagram.&nbsp;
Therefore, monitoring your social media analytics is crucial for growing your business as a mother and entrepreneur. By regularly analyzing your metrics, you can make data-driven decisions that will help you reach your target audience more effectively, tailor your content to their needs and preferences, track your ROI, and stay on top of industry trends. Making an effective and efficient plan based on all the data will free up more time to enjoy those kiddos! So, if you want to take your social media game to the next level AND get snuggle time in, make sure you're checking your analytics regularly!

The Art of Social Listening: Mama, Analyze Your Audience to Drive Results

As a mama in business, social media can be a powerful tool to help you reach a large audience and achieve your marketing goals. However, it's important to use social media strategically to get the most out of it. In this blog post, we'll explore how you can use social media to market your business effectively as a busy mom.

\
Define Your Target Audience

As a mom in business, you likely have a clear idea of who your target audience is. It's important to use this knowledge to create content that resonates with them. You can use demographic data and insights from your analytics to create customer personas that will help you tailor your social media content.

\
Choose the Right Platforms

As a mom, you may not have time to be on every social media platform. It's essential to choose the platforms that your target audience uses the most and where your content will perform the best. For example, if your target audience is composed of young moms, you may want to focus on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, while if your target audience is composed of professionals, you may want to focus on LinkedIn. But don't forget, you can still post to other platforms with the use of automation tools such as Hootsuite, Meta Business and more. Focus on one or two platforms, but don't discount the power of also using those same posts on others, even if you don't have much time to tend to those platforms.

\
Create High-Quality Content

As a mom in business, your time is precious. That's why it's important to create high-quality content that will engage your audience and drive results. Your content should be visually appealing, informative, and engaging. You can use a variety of content formats, including text, images, videos, infographics, and live streams, to keep your audience engaged. Make sure your content is relevant to your target audience and aligns with your brand's values and identity. If you're not sure what to do or what works, feel free to experiment a little, as well as check out others with similar audiences.

\
Follow the Chosen Platforms Algorithm Rules

Hashtags are known and powerful tool to increase the visibility of your content on social media. But not all platforms use them, and many have them limited. So it's important to keep up-to-date on what the platform releases for information on what will work for their algorithm. For example, Twitter recommends a max of 1 hashtag, where Instagram says 3 is the sweet spot. Knowing what your chosen platform prefers will help your content reach a broader audience beyond your followers and make it easier for people to find your content when searching for specific topics.

\
Engage with Your Audience

As a mom in business, building relationships with your followers is key to your success on social media. It's important to engage with your audience by responding to comments, direct messages, and mentions promptly. This will help you build relationships with your followers and establish trust. It's also necessary to rank higher in the algorithm for many platforms. They have an expectation that you will interact with the comments and DMs, which is a reason that it is only recommended to focus on one or two platforms as your main audience.

\
Social Media Marketing Strategy

Creating a social media marketing strategy will help you use social media effectively to achieve your business goals. Here are some steps, a sort of blueprint to create a social media marketing strategy that will work for you mama:

\

1. Define your goals: What do you want to achieve with your social media presence? Your goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
2. Identify your target audience: Who are you trying to reach? What are their demographics, interests, and behaviors?
3. Choose your platforms: Which social media platforms are your target audience using the most? Which platforms align with your business goals and content format?
4. Develop your content strategy: What kind of content will you create? How often will you post? Who will create the content?
5. Allocate resources: As a busy mom, you likely have limited time and resources. It's important to allocate your resources effectively, whether that means hiring a social media manager or using tools to automate your social media posts.
6. Measure your results: How will you measure the success of your social media marketing efforts? What metrics will you track?

 \

Social media has revolutionized the way businesses approach marketing. With billions of people using social media platforms every day, it has become one of the most effective ways to reach a large audience quickly and easily. However, as we have learned in this post, simply having a social media presence is not enough to guarantee success. It is essential to use social media strategically to achieve your marketing goals.

Mama, There's So Much Opportunity On Social Media, If You Use It Right.

As a mother and a business owner, understanding how to value your business appropriately can be a challenge. While you want to ensure that your business is profitable and successful, you also want to make sure that you have enough time and energy to devote to your little ones. So, how do you value your business appropriately while being a mother? Here are some tips:

\
__Determine your priorities__

As a mother, your children should always come first. When valuing your business, make sure that you take into account the time and energy that you will need to devote to them. Determine how much time you can realistically commit to your business while still being present for your children. Putting value on your priorities, not just the business itself, is an essential step towards achieving your goals (both with your business and with your family) and living a fulfilling life. By putting value on your priorities, you can make sure that you are spending your time and resources in a way that aligns with your needs and helps you achieve your long-term aspirations.

\
But remember, you being a mother and needing to prioritize your children does NOT necessarily mean the value of the business is less than others, perhaps it means it’s more, because your time is even more precious. Something to ponder for sure.

\
__Consider your industry__

Valuing a business can vary depending on the industry you are in. Considering the value of your business based on your industry is crucial for several reasons. The value of a business can vary greatly depending on the industry it operates in, as well as the market conditions and competition within that industry. For example, a technology startup may be valued differently than a real estate company, even if they both have similar revenue numbers. Understanding the industry benchmarks for valuing businesses can help you set realistic expectations for your company's worth, as well as identify areas where you may need to improve to increase its value. Additionally, investors and potential buyers will also use industry-specific metrics to evaluate the value of your business, so having a clear understanding of your industry's standards can help you negotiate better deals and secure more favorable terms. Ultimately, valuing your business based on your industry provides important insights into its financial health and potential for growth, which can help you make informed decisions about its future.

\
__Look at your financials and potential growth__

Your business's financial statements are a good place to start when valuing your business. Analyze your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement to determine your business's profitability and financial health. We all know that financials such as revenue, profit margins, and cash flow are key indicators of a company's current worth and can be used to calculate its value using various valuation methods. However, it's also important to consider the potential for growth when valuing a business. This includes factors such as market trends, competitive landscape, and potential for expansion into new markets or products. A business with strong financials and a high potential for growth may be valued higher than one with similar financials but limited growth potential. By taking into account both financials and potential growth, you can get a more comprehensive understanding of your company's value and make strategic decisions such as seeking investment or planning for an exit.

\
Remember, as a mother and a business owner, it's important to strike a balance between your personal and professional life. Take the time to assess your priorities, resources, the market of your specific industry, as well as the financials and potential growth of your business. And of course, seek professional advice whenever necessary. With the right approach, which includes a combination of how you value the business and how others might, you can find that appropriate "number."

Hey Mama, Value That Business of Yours Appropriately

This Tuesday morning kicked off with the regular YouTube Live held by Cronos Labs, where they give updates on the chain, but also interview native projects. This time they had representatives from Veno Finance, ThirdFi, Croptopia and Troopz joining them. It proved to be an informative session as always. 

You can watch it here: <https://www.youtube.com/live/tzbrRuQth00?feature=share>

\
Cronos Labs also confirmed today that they’ve partnered with AWS (Amazon Web Services) to add to their accelerator program. This is exciting as they already have an amazing accelerator package which grants those accepted 12 weeks of mentorship, up to $30K in grant funds, as well as up to $300K in partnership credits -- now including AWS Activate! It goes without saying that the more partnerships they add to the program, the more enticing it is to come build on Cronos!

You can read more here: <https://blog.cronos.org/p/cronos-labs-collaborates-with-aws?utm_source=substack&publication_id=952960&post_id=117040453&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&triggerShare=true&isFreemail=true>

Cronos Labs Adds AWS Benefits to Their Accelerator Program!

Some know how Decentral Mamas came to be, while for others, this will be the first time “hearing” about it. I have been self-employed for years, most of which required me to work outside of the home, and when my son was born, I decided I wanted to be able to stay home and raise him (and his future sibling). But as a single mom, I knew that meant I could not rely on anyone else to pay the bills, that I would have to bring in the income myself. I had been trading stocks for a little while and decided to try my hand at trading crypto. This took many hours of studying all that I could to not only be able to do it, but do it well. I did successfully manage to bring in an income from trading, which allowed me to stay home with him as planned. This is when I started getting DMs from contacts reaching out and asking how their sister/sister-in-law/friend could do what I do and maybe get more time with her kids too. At that same time, my daughter was a newborn and I found keeping up with both kids and trading consistently was proving to be too much.

\
I shifted to NFTs…. Yes I see the irony there. Nevertheless, this is how Free Mamas, now Decentral Mamas, was born.

\
Since the moment that I decided to embark on this journey, many have asked me how I make my money and how I can afford to stay home with my children while being a single mother. And though I have never shied away from answering the questions, I have never put it all in one place and broken it down for anyone, and it was recently suggested by a new but dear friend who goes by the username of Webb3fitty that I do so.

\
So here we go…

\
I think it’s important to explain the income/revenue situation first. This will help set the stage for how it all works together, but also further backs up my stance of “multiple streams of revenue are needed” which is something I tell all of the women that come to me to learn. So let’s talk about the importance of multiple streams of income and then I’ll talk about mine.

\
Having multiple streams of revenue is becoming increasingly important in today's economy. Inflation is on the rise and things are just awfully expensive, especially when you have kids. The old ways of having a single job or business that provides all of your income is no longer as secure as it once was, and often not even an option for single mothers. In today's crazy world, having multiple streams of revenue can certainly provide a little stability that is difficult to achieve with that single income source.

\
This should go without saying, but having multiple streams of revenue can provide a safety net if one stream of income dries up. Obviously this could happen for a variety of reasons, such as a job loss, a business failure, or a shift in the market, illness that makes certain tasks impossible..etc. Therefore, if you have multiple streams of revenue, you have a better chance of weathering these types of storms and at least buying time until you can replace the one that is no longer.

\
In addition to providing the obvious safety net, multiple streams of revenue can also provide opportunities for growth. This is my personal favorite. For example, if you have a successful business, you could use the profits to invest in other ventures or maybe even to start a new business. This can help you diversify your income, which is always a good thing.

\
Another benefit of having multiple streams of revenue is that it can provide a greater sense of freedom and flexibility. When you rely on a single income source, you may feel trapped or limited in your options. However, with multiple streams of revenue, you can have more control over your financial situation and more options for how you want to spend your time.

\
Finally, having multiple streams of income can also help you achieve your long-term financial goals. Whether you want to save for retirement, start a college fund for the kids, pay off debt, or invest in a new hobby or business venture, having multiple streams of income can provide the financial resources you need to achieve your goals.

\
So what does this all translate into when it comes to my personal situation. Well it’s simple, I have as you probably guessed – multiple streams of revenue.

\

1. I still trade part-time (crypto & NFTs)
2. I do part-time dev work for other projects (web3)
3. I do commission artwork/graphics (web3)
4. I offer my Sex and Relationship coaching services part-time (web2/web3)
5. I do get child tax from the Canadian Government
6. I do receive child support

\
For some of those, I receive payment in fiat (Canadian Dollar), some in crypto and some in NFTs. All of them help me ensure all bills are paid and my kids’ needs are met, while I get to stay home with them every day. As you can see, working in web3 has played a large role in my ability to bring in multiple streams of income, making it so I can continue to stay home with my children, because fact is, child tax and child support DO NOT cover the monthly expenses.

\
Now here’s what I view to be the biggest part of it. Having multiple streams of revenue is all good and well, but if you don’t have a budget that you work with, you may end up spending in places you really don’t need to be, thus requiring you to bring in more money (which translates into more work and less time with the kids) to cover things.

\
So bare with me as I try to break down why budgeting matters, some tips and tricks, all while including exactly what I do. Budgeting plays a huge role into how I make all of this work, so as far I am concerned, this is arguably the most important piece to it all.

\
Living on a budget is a smart financial strategy that can help you achieve your financial goals, avoid debt and spend more time with the kids, while needing less money to do so. As most of us know, a budget is simply a plan that outlines your income, expenses, and savings goals. By creating a budget and sticking to it, you can make sure that you are spending your money wisely, spending more time with the kids and saving for the future all at the same time.

\
Here are some tips for living on a budget, mixed in with what I do:

\
Track your expenses: The first step in creating a budget is to track your expenses. Keep a record of all your expenses for a month and categorize them into different categories such as housing, transportation, food, utilities, entertainment, and so on. This will give you a clear picture of where your money is going and where you can cut back.

\
In my case, I use Quickbooks to organize all my finances as I do operate as a sole proprietor. I set time aside each month to input all of the expenses needed into the software. It will then break down where the money is being spent. There are many budgeting apps out there that will do this for you, even if you don’t need business software.

\
Set financial goals: Once you have tracked your expenses, set some financial goals. These could be short-term goals such as paying off credit card debt or long-term goals such as saving for a down payment on a house. The one I hope to see everyone strive for is the goal of bringing in enough income to have some freedom. This amount will vary for everyone. Having those clear financial goals laid out in front of you will help you stay motivated and focused on your budget.

\
Create that budget: Based on your income and expenses, create a budget that allows you to meet those financial goals. Start by allocating your income to your fixed expenses such as rent/mortgage, utilities, and transportation. Then allocate funds to your variable expenses such as groceries, entertainment, and clothing. Finally, allocate funds to your savings goals.

\
I’ll give an example of how I handle this. I recently got a payment. The very first thing I did with it was allocate 40% to paying the bills that needed to be paid, and paid them immediately. I do not leave anything left over, I’ll overpay a bill if need be, rather than leave it in the account and risk spending it. Overpaying the bill gets me a credit the next month, acting as a sort of savings. Then I immediately filled the car with a full tank of gas, which typically lasts me about 2 weeks and used 25% to purchase a bunch of groceries. From there, and only AFTER everything mentioned has been done, the rest got divided into investments and entertainment. \n 

Cut back on expenses: To live on a budget, especially if you’re looking to be able to have more freedom and stay home with your children, you may need to cut back on some of those expenses. Look for areas where you can reduce your spending without sacrificing your quality of life. Here’s some tips and some examples from what I do.

\
* Reduce unnecessary expenses: Take a hard look at your expenses and eliminate those that are not necessary. For example, you could cancel subscriptions or memberships that you don't use or need.

 \

I frequently cancel all subscriptions. I reactivate them only as needed. Sure $9.99/month may not seem like alot, but when it’s for several services, it all adds up. The way I make sure we don’t need the subscription all of the time is by doing activities that don’t require a device. Devices are generally the cause of needing subscriptions.

\
* Cut down on entertainment expenses: Entertainment expenses can add up quickly. Consider reducing the frequency of eating out or going to movies.

\
This one is easier for me, as I live in a tiny community with not a whole lot for entertainment. I cook all 3 meals at home daily, making sure to use ingredients completely (when I can) to save on grocery expenses. I also make my beloved iced coffee at home, saving me about $4 day, without having to sacrifice that little luxury I enjoy. That all being said, I do treat the kids to fast food about once per week. Generally I’ll buy one kids meal, bring it home, divide it between the two of them and add some veggies or fruits that I already have at home to complete the meal. They get a treat and I don’t have to break the bank.

\
Another big thing for entertainment when I save a lot of money is that I take the kids to play at outdoor parks as much as the weather permits – because it’s free. I also 

take them for nature walks and to other outdoor and free venues whenever I can. About once or twice per month, I will take the kids to do an activity that costs money – i.e. go to a museum. This way the kids still get lots of play time and excitement, without any real expenses, besides the couple times per month where we do paid 

activities. But also by not doing those paid activities all the time, they don’t expect them and they feel even more like a treat when we do them.

\
* Use coupons and discounts: Look for coupons and discounts when shopping for groceries, clothing, and other products. This can help you save money on your 

 purchases. This also helps for when doing paid activities, you can often find discount times or coupons to help lower the cost.

\
* Save on energy costs: Make your home more energy-efficient by turning off lights and unplugging electronics when they're not in use. You could also consider using energy-efficient light bulbs and appliances.

\
I cover my windows in the cold months (and during heat waves) to keep the house warm (or cool) as needed. This helps cut down the cost of the heating/cooling bill. I also spend my time trying to teach the kids that lights are not needed to be on when not in the room, nor do they need to be on during the day.

\
* Shop around for insurance: Insurance premiums can vary widely. Shop around for insurance to ensure that you're getting the best rates. This may vary more depending 

 on where you live, as some areas have one set rate put in place by their local government. But if you can, certainly shop around and negotiate if possible.

\
* Reduce transportation costs: Consider carpooling, using public transportation, or biking to work to reduce transportation costs.

\
As I said, a full tank of gas can last me two weeks, because for the most part, the kids and I walk everywhere. Well, I walk and pull them in the wagon, but same thing. Not using the car unless needed has greatly reduced my monthly expenses.

\
* Negotiate bills: Negotiate with service providers such as cell phone and internet companies to see if you can get a better deal.

\
* Buy generic products: Generic products are often less expensive than their brand-name counterparts and can save you money over time.

\
Plan for unexpected expenses: Even with a budget, unexpected expenses can arise. It's important to build an emergency fund that can cover unexpected expenses such as car repairs or medical bills. Aim to save at least three to six months' worth of expenses in an emergency fund, but never do so at the expense of your current bills.

\
Living on a budget requires discipline, but it can be a smart financial strategy that helps you achieve your financial goals and gives you the ability to stay home with your children. Even if with multiple streams of revenue and budgeting, you are not able to walk away from your job entirely, you may be able to cut back on the second job (to pursue another stream of revenue from home) or cut back on the overtime hours, which will allow you to spend more time with your children.

\
This is my wish for all who want it.

How I Can Afford to Be a Stay-at-Home Single Mother

Technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, especially for children whose mother works remote and/or in web3. It is almost impossible to imagine a world without smartphones, tablets, televisions, and other gadgets really. However, with the increasing dependence on electronic devices by us and now by the children, a question that keeps arising among parents is whether these gadgets are harmful to their kids’ mental and physical well-being. This blog post will explore this topic, talk about things mentioned in the recent Twitter Space about "__[Parenting in Web3 - Electronics](https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/b168fabb-21a7-46c0-a7c8-e78f6a2534a8/episodes/6f45f9ed-c8a1-4d84-8181-3e83d51cf83e/decentral-mamas-decentral-mamas---parenting-in-web3---electronics)__" and provide some insights that may help in making an informed decision that works for you.

 \n 

__The Pros of Electronics for Kids:__

It is undeniable that electronics can provide educational and entertainment benefits for children. For instance, educational applications on tablets can enhance a child's cognitive and functional abilities. Furthermore, electronic games can help develop social and motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork abilities. Television can also expose children to diverse cultures, encourage imagination and excitement for learning. All of this paired with the fact that sometimes, as a working mother, you have no choice but to ask them to use a device for a few minutes while you complete a task. However, obviously these benefits should not replace other critical activities such as socializing, exercising, or reading.

 \n 

__The Cons of Electronics for Kids:__

We also know, electronics have significant drawbacks for children, such as screen addiction, eye strain, obesity, sleep loss, anxiety, and depression. Furthermore, social media use can create feelings of inadequacy, peer pressure, and cyberbullying, affecting mental health, especially for children of school age. Thus, it is necessary to set healthy screen time limits and ensure that gadgets are appropriately. But also mama, don't sweat it if you need to give them a tablet so you can do that conference call. Just make up for it after the call is done.

 \n 

__Encouraging Children to Ditch the Electronics:__

If parents want children to reduce their screen use or take a break, they must model the alternative behaviors actively, which I know is tough when working remote/from home. This means we can involve them in fitness activities, outdoor adventures, reading, board games, or crafting to counteract their screen times. I always talk about taking time out from work and making time for the kids, this is the perfect time to pull them away from screens and do some of those activities. We can also create no-device times or zones, such as mealtimes, before bedtime, or during family outings, OR maybe those are the only times you allow them to use them. You and only you know your situation and kid(s) best.

 \n 

When you are faced with the "But Mom, you use your phone/laptop" it helps to explain to them and to be open about the type of use. Show them that is being used for work and not pleasure. Also put the devices away, as you would expect them to, when it is time.

 \n 

__Monitoring Children's Electronic Use:__

Obviously parents must ensure that children's online activity does not endanger their safety and well-being. Setting up parental controls, having constant conversations about online etiquettes, and monitoring app usage can definitely help make the use of them more enjoyable and beneficial for all.

 \n 

Kids are constantly exposed to electronics, whether it's by watching us use them or by them using the devices. Electronic gadgets can provide numerous benefits for children when used in moderation, but excessive screen time and a lack of balance can also harm them. As parents, it is vital to ensure that children's screen time is used responsibly, their online activity is monitored, and they are encouraged to engage in other activities to aid in their development. By doing so, we can create an environment where children can flourish and lead a healthy and balanced lifestyle, while their parent(s) work using devices day in and day out.

"But Mom, you use your phone all the time!"

Motherhood is an incredibly fulfilling, yet busy job that requires women to juggle a variety of responsibilities. Adding marketing to the mix can seem overwhelming, especially if you're trying to stand out in a crowded market. However, successful marketing doesn't always require expensive campaigns. It's time to start thinking outside of the box and getting creative. As a mom myself, I know how challenging it can be to navigate the world of marketing, but with a little bit of effort, some automation and a couple fresh ideas, you can boost your brand and reach more customers. So, let's dive in and explore some unique marketing strategies that any mom can use to elevate her business.

\
**Build an online community**
One of the best ways to get noticed in today's competitive market is by building a community of loyal customers who support and rave about your products or services. This is especially true for Web3 businesses as it is expected. To do this, invite your customers to join a private Facebook group, A Telegram Chat, a group chat on Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter or any other preferred platform, where they can connect with each other and with you. Share exclusive content, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and rewards for their involvement. Such a community not only helps you retain customers but can also attract potential ones.

**Host a "mom's day out" event**
As a mom, we have access to many exclusive group outings in our local areas, we just have to look for them. These events allow us to connect with other moms, who may be interested in helping with the business or even potentially be customers themselves. You can also look at hosting your own event. Hosting a "mom's day out" event is an excellent way to get local moms to flock to your business. Plan a fun day where moms can come together and have a few hours to themselves, while enjoying your products or services. For example, if you own a salon, offer discounted haircuts, as well as free drinks and snacks. Additionally, request a renowned, inspiring speaker to give a brief talk that mothers can relate to, to truly make it a memorable experience. This is just one example of many types of events that can be hosted, depending on your industry.

**Use Social Media effectively**
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok and others are all great platforms for businesses, with some being more appropriate for marketing direct to moms than others. However, the key here is to focus on one (or two) platforms, while still creating a presence on all others. This allows us to connect direct with the community on our chosen platform(s), but also reach users of all the others as well. Using social media automation will help with achieving all of this, without the need to put countless hours into simply being present on all platforms. There are social media managers who will automate and post for you to all of them in one shot for the most part (such as [Hootsuite](https://www.hootsuite.com)) but they are expensive, running at around $99/month. Other cost effective choices are apps like:

* [Zealous](https://zealous.one) (used to automate the audio of Twitter Spaces being pushed to podcast type platforms and/or turned into reusable audio and video content)
* Zentaurios (this one is blog/SEO automation platform, but also posts the content it gets from its users to numerous social media platforms, helping to create an indirect audience)
* [Meta Business](https://www.facebook.com/business/tools/meta-business-suite) (used to post to Insta and FB together)
* And so many others...

**Personalize your packaging**
When selling your physical product to buyers, you might feel like you are limited in revealing your brand outside of the actual product. However, by customizing packaging with unique designs, quotes or messages, you create an authentic brand whose packaging is recognizable, to keep clients coming back. If you're selling a product that requires a box or some packaging, use it as an opportunity to create a lasting impression with customers by making the packaging special.

While it’s easy to get swept away with the idea that advertising only comes from deep pockets, small businesses and mothers can stand shoulder to shoulder with the big dogs by being creative. Getting noticed doesn't have to be expensive; all it takes is a bit of flair, some imagination and boldness to execute marketing ideas that guarantee to elevate your business. Using the clever marketing tactics discussed above, you will demonstrate your brand’s individuality and innovative spirit, while increasing your loyal customer base, and reducing your overall expenses – perhaps even freeing up some much-needed time for your kids. So, let's take our inspiration from the humorous, witty mindset of moms and have fun creating the craziest, wildest marketing campaigns, and watch as our business gets exploded in popularity.

So now I am working to get that changed. [#brandbuilding](https://twitter.com/hashtag/brandbuilding?src=hashtag_click) [#web3marketing](https://twitter.com/hashtag/web3marketing?src=hashtag_click)

Google Your Brand -- And Do It Regularly

Hey there, fellow web3 business mamas, or those who are considering the path! I know you're busy juggling a million tasks at once - from running (or planning) your own company to keeping your little ones alive and kicking. It's tough balancing both worlds, but it's also incredibly fulfilling. As someone who's been in your shoes, and still going, I want to share some of my top time management tips to help you create a sanity-saving routine that works for you and your family... but remember, it's not a perfect science.

 \n 

__Embrace the Power of Planning__

I know planning can sound like a drag, but it's actually one of the most effective ways to get things done. Make a to-do list at the start of each day, sectioning off specific tasks into time slots, based on the schedule that works for you and your little ones. To help with this, as well as ensure all areas of the business get their needed attention, go a step further and have a basic guideline of a schedule for the week or month (see mine below). Seeing everything written down will help you stay on track and prevent tasks from being neglected. Even better, invest in a planner or time-management software to keep all of your plans in one place. Trust me, it's worth it!

__Say Goodbye to Time Wasters__

This one is a tough one, because they provide us comfort, but also because in web3 and in business, we often have to be connected at what feels like "all times". Social media, Netflix, and online shopping are all great time wasters. It's so easy to get sucked into a social media black hole or a TV show and lose track of time. If you want to increase productivity, you have to be strict with your time. Implement a time limit for recreational activities or find ways to cut them out altogether if possible. By doing so, you'll find more time to focus on important tasks.

 \n 

__Delegate and Outsource__

This one is crucial, ladies. As the saying goes, "You can do anything, but you can't do everything." It's okay to ask for help, whether it's getting your partner to handle school pick-up (if you have a partner) or hiring a virtual assistant to handle the administrative tasks. This can also include using the various AI tools that are up and coming, to help get through your tasks easier and quicker. Remember, delegating and outsourcing is not a sign of weakness but rather a way to maximize your time and energy to focus on what really matters.

 \n 

__Stay Organized__

Nothing kills productivity like clutter and disorganization, because if you're anything like me, as you're working, that mountain of clothes that needs to be folded and put away, or those dishes in the sink has you thinking "I should really just get it done" rather than focusing on the business task that needs attention. So, attempt to keep a clean workspace, dedicate certain spots in your home for job-specific tasks, and try to stay on top of household chores. Bahahaha even as I write this one, I know it's true, but one that is crazy tough. Parenting while running a business, makes for little time to clean and stay organized, but it is something that will help. Trust me; a tidy environment can do wonders for your motivation and mental clarity.

 \n 

__Take Time for Yourself and Things That Matter__

Having a clear schedule for the day and attempting to stick to it (the best you can) makes all the difference. Set aside hours of the day that are specific for work/business, hours that are specific to parenting and a little time in there somewhere that is time for yourself. With all of the craziness of family and work responsibilities, we often forget to take care of ourselves. That is why self-care is a reoccurring point in most of my blogs, because it's just so necessary and something that we mamas often don't do. So Mama, carve out time to do things you enjoy or even to relax and unwind, even if it's just a few mins at a time. You'll come back to your work stronger and more centered, ultimately leading to more efficiency in your day-to-day life.

 \n 

To all the business mamas out there, I hope that these tips will help you manage your time and workload more effectively. Remember, you're amazing for doing all that you do, so don't forget to give yourself some credit! At the end of the day, finding a balance between work and family life can be incredibly challenging and sometimes even a little messy, but it's not impossible. With the right mindset and a bit of effort, you can achieve success on both fronts while staying true to yourself.
