Perhaps you've always seen yourself as becoming a mompreneur one day and now that you're finally a mom you've been given the chance to embrace the title fully. That said, starting a business when you've just had a baby is a lot! Here we reveal how to juggle both roles like a pro.

Technology can make life easier

If you've just welcomed a child, then you'll know that the days seem to go by in a blur. And if you happen to run a business at the same time, it can start to feel like you're in one mad rush from start to finish. However, it's easy to fall into the trap of what is known as guilty mom syndrome because you may feel too busy as a business owner to fully absorb those precious milestones. When you're finding it difficult to achieve a balance between being an entrepreneur and a new mom, there are tools available online that can help you manage both more efficiently. For example, Parent Cue is an app you can use to capture those special moments with your child. Winnie is another app that helps you stay connected with other moms to share ideas with one another and bounce ideas off each other.

On the business side of things, there are apps that can help you with better time management, like Toggl for example. And if you need to create Facebook ads for your business, you can start with a Facebook ad template which you can customize to your needs by adding your own logo, design elements, and colors.

Technology can make life easier

Perhaps you can't bear the thought of being away from your little one for too long. But you know that you also have to do work to be able to provide for their future. In this case, you could think about setting up a play area or nursery in or as close to your office as possible , so you can keep a close eye on them at all times. If your child is not yet crawling, this is, obviously, easier to accomplish. However, it's when they start to crawl or stand that this becomes more of a challenge. That said, there are many baby-friendly accessories that can keep your child entertained for quite some time such as playmats, walkers, rockers, and more.

Hiring help when you need it

Suppose you can see that your business is going to require you to be more hands-on in the beginning stages, then perhaps the best thing to do is hire help for those times when you're at your busiest. Whether it's a trusted friend or family member or a professional au pair, having someone available to help out when you can't get to everything yourself could be just the thing you need to help you cope with the day better.

Be adaptable to change

Raising a child means no two days are the same. Therefore, you'll have to be more open to things not always going according to plan. Children also tend to inspire you in different ways by opening your eyes up to new possibilities and new ways of doing things. Suppose you've just discovered a new business opportunity that has stemmed from being a mom. In this case, you could register your current business as a DBA which allows you to sell products or services under a different name should you wish to do so and is also a convenient way to register your new business if you can't find a suitable domain for it in the meantime. In summary, becoming a parent is a life-changing moment with rewards that are beyond comparison. Starting your own business has its perks too! And with the right mindset, tools, and help at your disposal, there's really no reason why you can't do both excellently!
