I don’t know about you, but to me it seems like mom entrepreneurs have become a force to be reckoned with. I hear more and more about them everyday as their success in the small business world becomes more widely recognized.

A few days ago I came across something that I think all mom entrepreneurs could find useful. It was a post called “Mom Entrepreneur Success Strategies” on the Toilet Paper Entrepreneur Blog. What’s so great about this post is that there are more than 100 strategies provided by mom entrepreneurs themselves. Who better to get advice from than 100+ mothers who have already gone through the process of starting their own businesses?

Here are some of the tips that stuck with me:

35. Little Helpers.  I make it so that my children can be involved in the business. They put their input into different tasks (“I like that color mom”, or “why did you do it that way?”) and there are several tasks that I’ve created for them to help me out with the work flow as well. I’ve color coded my filing for instance so they little ones can learn colors, and feel involved in my work.

60. Voicemails to Emails.  I use RingCentral for my phone service - I can set up extensions to sound like a large business, choose to send a call straight to voicemail if the kids are fighting, and all my voicemails go straight to my computer so that I can listen to them over and over if the noise level in the house is a little too loud!

98. Plan, Do, Repeat.  Planning & automating tasks for the week has helped me successfully juggle 3 children & 3 businesses for 6 years. On Sunday, plan & ready everything you can-outfits, meals, bathing schedule, blog posts, email times, workouts, phone calls–for the entire week. Repeat every Sunday & begin to feel like Super Mompreneur
