Seriously! WHO does it all?! What woman let alone mom has the time (and superpowers) to do it all?! And do it well? If you know someone, lead me to them so I can bow at their feet and learn their ways.
As a wife, mom, full time teacher, and nutrition/wellness coach there is just no. way. No way.
This year I started working through my Powersheets workbook and it really helped me to target and narrow down my goals + how I'm going to accomplish them for the year. Not just business goals! Personal, relationship, professional, all types of goals. In that process, I realized a few things I could do to make my life easier and to allow me the maximum amount of quality time with my family (that's the whole reason why I do what I do in the first place).
It became very clear that many of my goals were formed around relationships which makes total sense because I'm not a details person, I'm a feels kinda person if you know what I mean. I love relationships and spreading love and receiving that same love back. So I figured out what I needed to do.
One word: DELEGATE
Sounds so simple right? Try telling that to someone who likes control. Ha! Let me share a few ways I've done this and how this one thing has made the biggest difference in my life.\
The first thing I did was ask for help when I needed it. This sounds so easy, but it's a humble act and if you have a lot of pride it's not easy. Took me way too long to admit I can't do it all well without help and get over myself. Life is so much better for everyone when you accept people's offers.
I hired a virtual assistant. This was hard for me because I've built my business from the ground up; it is my baby. Handing bits and pieces of that over to someone else has truly felt like leaving my baby in someone else's care. And I pride myself on leading with heart - my heart. So I am selective about what I have my assistant do; essentially the things that anyone can do without anyone noticing it's not me. I still handle my accountability groups, team page, emails, interactions, etc.
I hired a house cleaner. This is new. I do okayish at keeping the house in order throughout the week, but I often find myself spending a few hours on the weekends picking up, folding laundry, etc. I will just put this on the record - cleaning is not my favorite chore and although I thrive on organization, I'm busy. So, those hours I spent doing those things will now be spent with my family as I pay someone else to come every other week or so and do the dirty work for me. (See what I did there?)
I married a good man - this is something I did years before starting my own business or having kids, but it's especially important to note that marrying someone who believes that marriage is teamwork makes a huge difference. He helps around the house + rides the entrepreneurial roller coaster right along with me.
So, if you find yourself wondering how to do it all, my solution is to delegate. I realize not everyone needs an assistant; I never thought I would! Or maybe cleaning is your jam. More than likely, however, there is an area where you struggle and you could use some delegation.
