When this happens. As a mom, running a household and a business, there are a few ways we can react.

The first way is, we can lose it and just flip out. Letting it control our entire day. Letting our day run us and be ruined by an uncontrollable situation!

The better and sometimes harder thing to do, is to say OK…this is what has happened, now how do we solve it? And then get yourself into problem solving mode!

Networking as a mom and building connections to grow our businesses is often hard when we are raising kids, home bound with potty training toddlers and consumed with playing taxi for all the activities our family is involved in. There is no doubt about it that making genuine connections and networking can be what makes the difference in growing your business and can help you grow it faster!

In today’s podcast episode with Andrea Delucia, we talk about motherhood, business and networking as moms.

In this conversation with Sarah Crosley we talk about her journey from starting an etsy business to using automation, tools and passive income to scale her business while homeschooling and raising her family.

I got my start in a similar place as Sarah, creating Etsy shops, figuring out how many keychains I’d have to sell to make a viable income. I quickly realized just like Sarah, that with the price point of my shop, it just wasn’t feasible. In this case, don’t give up, just pivot! All the steps along the way matter in leading up to your next best thing!

We all want to know how to accomplish our big goals and make what we want happen in our lives! Often times we can fall into the trap that it is one thing, one big push of action, one magic strategy, that pushes us to reach that goal. But the reality is, it’s a lot of tiny steps in the right direction that bring us to our “ultimate” destination.

It’s not as glamorous and can often feel like no progress is being made, but I truly believe what Lara Casey says, that the Little by Little progress adds up!

In today’s episode, inspired by my Instagram Story series of Tuesday night, we are talking about that little by little progress. I’m sharing the behind the scenes of my January, the good, the bad, the ugly, the hard, the incredible, the blessings, the triumphs, the struggles, etc. If you want to see the exact goal planner I’m using, check out the links below to my favorites, or go here to hear the heart behind Lara Casey & Cultivate What Matters.

Meet Abbey

Hey there! I am Abbey. I started in business a decade ago when I opened my own photography studio, AK Studio & Design. I was just like so many others out there. I struggled to figure out how to run a profitable, effective business that made me happy and wasn’t a burden on my family.

Have you ever felt that way? Do you stay up long after everyone else has gone to bed? Do you entertain your kids with technology so you can sneak work in? I have been there and I know how that makes us feel as both business owners and parents and it isn’t good.

We all started these businesses to be a BENEFIT to our families, right? But it’s really easy for tha...
