How to Find Your Focus As a Mom and Business Owner
05/14/24 • 22 min
We all know people who put all of their attention on focusing on tasks in their business or home, or connecting with others in their business or family.
You’ll see this imbalance depicted as the workaholic type who works late hours every day and is never home, or the social butterfly who amounts to nothing career-wise in the eyes of family and friends. Most people are naturally inclined to lean towards focusing on tasks over making social connections, or vice versa. They haven’t mastered the balancing act needed for maximum success.
So how do you figure out where you are on the focus and connection scales as a mom and business owner? And how can you integrate a better balance that’ll have you feel like you’re at your best?
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll hear about the paradigm between deciding what to focus on as a mom and business owner and whether that could jeopardize your chances of connecting with others. I’ll teach you about the importance of balancing your focus and connection in your business and personal life, how to find the right spot on these spectrums, and examples of the positives of doing so and the consequences if you don’t.
2:10 - Why you need to balance your focus and connection as a mom and entrepreneur
6:30 - What you need to understand to help you find that sweet spot for success in your business and personal life
9:06 - Examples of rewards and consequences of striking a balance between focus and connection versus being all in on one over the other
15:47 - How to figure out where you want to be on the focus and connection spectrums and find a better balance in business and life
18:24 - How to know you’re not in your sweet spot and what integrating better focus-connection balance requires of you

How to Handle an Unsupportive Spouse or Partner As a Big-Thinking Business Woman
If your partner or spouse isn’t necessarily on board with your business ambitions, you’re not alone.
Lack of (emotional) support is a topic that comes up often for women business owners. In fact, it came up several times among attendees during my April mastermind retreat and even after everyone went back home.
Striking that balance (lacking a better word) between your role as a big-thinking business owner and your role as a relationship partner is challenging to find. But it’s not impossible!
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn eight reasons why your significant other can be unsupportive of you pursuing your business dreams. I’ll also teach you four things to do to resolve it and make the situation (and the conversation about it) a little easier for you both.
6:11 - Eight reasons why your partner might be opposing your business dreams and aspirations
18:26 - Four steps to create a balance between your big-thinking business ambition and happiness with your significant other

Imagine spending a couple of days in an 11-bedroom, three-story house with private bathrooms for everyone.
