What’s a busy mom to do when she has to run her business, run her kids to the soccer game and run mom to the doctor’s office?  It can be a balancing act that can make a mom feel defeated.

Mom has got to prioritize. Yes, ya gotta let even your family know that you have a new schedule and it ain’t all about them. There will be some changes and everyone is going to have to adapt.

If you half to, call together everyone who has a vested interest in your success and explain your expectations. Give them a reality check on what your new life is going to look like and DO NOT let them make you feel guilty for wanting to do something for yourself.
