Passion and Productivity

PASSION AND PRODUCTIVITY

Here’s two facts I want to put out there.
  1. There’s no such thing as an overnight success.
  2. If you treat your biz like a hobby, it will always be a hobby.
There are a few reasons why us mums look at our businesses as a hobby:
  • It’s a safety net - we’re protecting ourselves
  • We don’t know how to make it a formal biz
  • We still have a “regular” job
I want you to know that incredible things will start to happen when you shift gears and really commit.

Taking daily action (no matter how small) will create momentum. Developing your confidence and mindset will effect how you think, speak and communicate about your biz to others and yourself.

I started this podcast because I believe in teaching back and helping out my fellow sisters.

Starting a biz is hard, and doing it from home, with kids, is even harder.

I thought to myself, if only someone would just keep it real and share the process as they went along, rather than just those other podcasts or blogs where millionaires share their tips and strategies on how to rock it like a mega entrepreneur!

That’s great and all, and I listen to those podcasts from time to time, but what is more helpful, is hearing from others who walk the same path as you, those who aren’t too far ahead to remember what steps they took and why, those who get your vibe and who share the same struggles and the same dream.

So Mums With Hustle was born.

I thought, screw it. I have the passion and the skills to be that person. I’ll start this business and I’ll be honest about sharing what works. I’ll build a community and I’ll find guests from different industries and niches who can come on and share their particular angle on things.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Learning is best done in community. That is a proven fact! Learning from your peers is more motivating and less intimidating. It’s also WAY more relevant.

​This week’s guest is straight from our tribe of Mums With Hustle!

​She’s an action-taking biz mum, who keeps it real and that’ why she’s on the podcast today as a MWH success story. It’s been incredible watching her biz grow and change, watching her collaborate and gain in confidence. Her product is kick-ass!
