Comments on: Is the opposite also true? https://www.bmichellepippin.com/is-the-opposite-also-true/ because business success is more strategy than secret Thu, 23 Oct 2008 16:06:36 +0000 hourly 1 By: Laurie Neumann https://www.bmichellepippin.com/is-the-opposite-also-true/#comment-43 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 16:06:36 +0000 http://womenwhowow.wordpress.com/?p=162#comment-43 I do think being a mom has prepared me better to be a business owner. Where else can you learn to serve the needs of your clients better? As a mom, you serve your children and attend to their needs. The focus is not on you, it’s on them. I think that we need to carry this attitude to our businesses and to those we serve in our business.

In fact – I doubt I would be doing what I now love, if it wasn’t for being a mom! I became a freelance writer when my son was born, almost 6 years ago, in order to be home with him and still earn a much-needed income.

Six years later, my decision is still the best one I’ve made for our family. Being a parent is the most challenging thing any of us will do – making any obstacles faced in business seem tiny in comparison!

I am a “new” mom with a 4 month old, and I am learning how to balance working from home with “motherhood” 🙂 I really think that doing both has made me enjoy the parts that I love of each much more. I also have learned how to guard my time MUCH better and to prioritize…..not necessarily multi-task (frankly, doing this stresses me out b/c I feel unfocused) but prioritize. These lessons have vastly helped me in my work.

Personally, I am very thankful that I have had the opportunity to do both! I am blessed 🙂
