“Mompreneurs” means mothers who run their own businesses/company or are involved in any entrepreneurial activities. Motherhood and entrepreneurship have a lot in common, the journey of a mom raising her kids comes with a lot of responsibilities at the same time and to run a business also one needs to fulfill a bunch of responsibilities at one time. Motherhood can surely boost your confidence and can enhance you a lot of skills.
We’ve all heard that motherhood is a thankless job or mothers often do not paid their due respect. Same goes for entrepreneurship. Whenever people see a news idea, they just don’t believe in it and never boost the inspiration of having a new idea. Those amazing experiences, hardships, sacrifices made a mom and just like that a successful entrepreneur also come after a lot of struggles, rise and falls.
Here are some reasons why moms make the best entrepreneurs, the Mompreneurs
- Always Cautious Every Single Moment
Moms are used to do things that are not always going their way. Suddenly, in the middle of the night the baby is crying, when and where the situation arrives to change diapers, the food habit of newborn babies while taking care of other family members. Life as a mom is messy but end of the day women can do almost everything.
Mothers create their own ways to get through these unwelcome situations and learn a lot of things that they never heard before. We all kids one minute crying for no reason, the next moment will be so blissed from a simple smile of the child. Suddenly, it shows us a glimpse of heaven.
Entrepreneurs also live with a similar existence. They find themselves in many unwanted circumstances where every decision matters. Some days are like this business idea is a failure the next day with a small win. It’s like they are going to be successful very soon.
- Handling the Employees
If our moms were so dramatized every time when we as kid erred, we would not be where we are today. Sometimes they see our mistakes and explain why we should not do that again and sometimes they scold us.
As an entrepreneur the ability to stay focused and keep an eye on every employee is important. With this ability of motherhood mom can understand both the mental and physical condition of her employees and can find the ways to get the best out of her employees.
- Time Scheduling
Maintaining children’s play dates, practices, nap times, homework or whatever while taking care of other family members moms never misses anything. Truly, mothers are god gifted with time management skills. Moms can easily wade through between daily to-do’s urgent tasks from long-term goals, and act everything so simple for her.
Entrepreneurship efforts won’t work if everything is not timely managed. While developing a strategy for a company, one needs to distinguish between long term-short term goals. And mompreneurs can do that that like a pro because time management its her daily job.
- Various Roles Various Responsibility
Moms are used to wearing many hats. They become short-order cooks because the baby needs baby foods and others need their regular food. They can become doctors, therapists. A children’’s probably first teacher will be their mom. Mom teaches us language and other basic things.
Most entrepreneurs should also possess a variety of skills. Because starting your own business and managing everything is a tough job. You never know what is coming for you. From starting a new business or getting into running a company one has to learn all sorts of new skills and gain knowledge in the areas one didn’t even know existed.
- Moms Knows Everything
Moms have built in budgets, spending techniques and make the majority of the purchases for our household. But they do not forget anything. Giving school fees to buy socks for the little one everything is on her mind. Making smart decisions on where to save and where to splurge can make all the difference in a family’s survival.
The majority of startups when they were initially started were funded by its founders own personal savings. That’s why every decision, every funding should be perfectly calculated with the perfect judgment.
It seems like moms are constantly applying skills they have acquired from being a mother. One can learn a lot of skills and that can be easily applied to the responsibilities one entrepreneur should have. Wishing best of luck to all the hardworking mompreneurs to achieve what they have dreamt for.
