Kimberly, what does running a business (writing the blog) mean to you and why did you become an entrepreneur in the first place?
At first, my blog was a hobby but quickly turned into more than just a blog to read. I write about many different things from products
I like, to travel, giveaways, recipes, family life, and more! Soon, I was able to earn a decent income and help support my family.
What is your business about? How did you come across your idea?
As I said above, my blog was a hobby at first! Then, it blossomed from there. It took a couple of years to start seeing any kind of income, but it was so worth it to me.
Since you are also a mom…
How do you balance your personal and professional life?
It isn’t easy and it isn’t supposed to be! For all of you, mama’s out there, it IS possible though! Through hard work and determination, you can do ANYTHING!
Have you made any adjustments to your personal and professional life to juggle these two roles?
Not really. I was a stay-at-home mama anyway, so just a little bit of time management adjustments was all I needed to do.
What is the greatest obstacle you have faced in achieving the success you desire? How do you overcome it?
Putting myself out there to the whole world and feeling so vulnerable at times! However, I have learned quickly that by exposing myself to others, I find such fulfillment.
Knowing I am helping others and that is all that matters. I get emails all the time thanking me for sharing my stories. It makes it SO worth it to me!
What are the things that help you stay organized throughout the day and get time for everyone and everything? Is there a special time planner, or workspace design, or technique that you use?
Tell us your time management secrets!
Oh goodness. I have never really been a planning sort of girl. I keep everything in my head and rarely write stuff down!
When my kids are at school (they JUST went back at the beginning of this year!), I use the time they are at school to do my work.
When my kids get home from school, all of my work is done and I am all theirs!
Any recommendations to Moms who dream about being entrepreneurs, but just can’t get started?
Just do it anyway. If you wait and wait there will NEVER be a time that is right. Now is the time to just DO IT.
