What does this mean? It means that just because you&#8217;re dedicating 70% of your energy to one area\u2014be it your kids, your business, or anything else\u2014it doesn&#8217;t automatically mean you&#8217;re neglecting the other areas by 30%. Being great in one aspect of your life doesn&#8217;t diminish your capabilities in another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Embrace the Seasons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve learned that life, much like business, has its seasons. Right now, in the midst of summer, I slow down my work commitments. This means fewer business trips, less travel, and no new projects. Instead, I focus on deepening the existing work and being present with my kids while they\u2019re home for the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come back-to-school time, the pace will shift again. I\u2019ll dive back into my business, full speed ahead, especially as I gear up for the bustling holiday season. Understanding these seasonal shifts helps in managing expectations and balancing responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Juggling Glass and Rubber Balls<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine juggling a mix of glass and rubber balls. Glass balls represent your non-negotiables\u2014your family, health, and core commitments\u2014while rubber balls are more flexible, like extra work projects or social obligations. It\u2019s crucial to prioritize and ensure that the glass balls don\u2019t get dropped, even if it means letting a few rubber balls bounce away for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigating Family Expectations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone may understand the demands of running a business, especially during challenging times. Early in my journey, before the boutique became successful, I faced doubts from family members who didn\u2019t see the vision or understand the sacrifices involved. They questioned my choices and criticized my commitment, but it\u2019s essential to stay focused on your own path and plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Communicate and Plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a clear plan and knowing the seasons you\u2019re in will help manage both your business and family life. Communicate these seasons to your family and involve them in your journey. Kids, for example, should understand when you&#8217;re in a busy season and when things will ease up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, time is fleeting, but opportunities to earn money in business are not. Set boundaries where needed, and make space for quality time with your loved ones. Give yourself grace and celebrate your achievements as a high achiever juggling multiple roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re doing an amazing job balancing the demands of motherhood and entrepreneurship. Take a moment to pat yourself on the back and maybe even enjoy a well-deserved treat. You\u2019ve got this, and you\u2019re making a difference both at home and in your business. Thanks for tuning in, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, you\u2019re not alone in this journey. Keep showing up, keep striving, and take care of yourself along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Five Minute Friday: Balancing Motherhood and Business\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lFsduZE_PUw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-let-s-connect-askashley\">Let&#8217;s Connect #AskAshley <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Have a question or guest recommendation?
