You're probably wondering what the special secret it. Hint: It's not something you can buy. It's not something you have to work for years to get either.
The number one thing moms who make it in the work-at-home mom world do differently is simple: they believe in themselves.
One thing I've noticed in the work-at-home mom online world is how negative it is. Most moms do not believe it's possible to work-at-home. They believe there are no jobs. They don't believe they start a business and do well.
They secretly resent others who have done well and see them as special unicorns while saying, "It could never be me" in their hearts. It makes them feel hopeless and discouraged.
Even while looking for jobs, most moms who want more than ever to make money at home, don't believe it's possible.
Guess what? It is. I've been a work-at-home mom for 18 years and have seen the stories of many women like me. The ones who made it and are still working from home whether for themselves are at a job have one thing in common: they completely tuned out the negativity, did not entertain it for a second, and knew that they could.
Think about it, we don't send our kids off to school or sit them down for a day of homeschooling and say, "This is probably going to be too hard for you. I doubt you can do it. But go ahead and try." We know we'd be setting them up for failure.
Why? Because success begins in the mind. We say, "You got this. If you need help I'm here."
Granted, we're not setting up a kindergartner with calculus and giving them false hopes, but the thing about being a work-at-home mom is that there are a million ways to do it. You can find a way that works for you but you have to believe and give it 100%.
You are already sitting on an idea that can make you that $1-3k a month or more than you need. But you have to get started now.
If you've sent out a bunch of applications and haven't heard back, then it's time to create your own job. Get into social media management. Start creating digital products and selling them. Open the Etsy.
Stop making excuses and get going. You have to believe you can or you'll be afraid to take the first steps.
Let this be your sign.
Go for it.
love, Bunmi
