2018 - The Year I Became A Momtrepreneur

What is A Momtrepreneur?

A Momtrepreneur refers to a woman who has children and owns/runs a business —usually out of her home —while balancing different roles at the same time (mother, wife, business owner, etc).

In other words, momtrepreneurs almost always carry the responsibility of childcare along with  their businesses with the goal of earning extra income without the commitment of traditional employment.

When life gets tough, what spills over?

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Well because someone bumped into me, of course!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

*Whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out.*

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

So we have to ask ourselves…

"What's in my cup?"

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?

Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

You choose! 💯

Today, let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others. 🙌🏻🙏🏻

Surround yourself with people who help you to become the-best-version-of-yourself

 

The people we surround ourselves with either raise or lower our standards. 

They either help us to become the-best-version-of-ourselves or encourage us to become the lesser versions of ourselves.

We become like our friends.

No man becomes great on his own.

No woman becomes great on her own.

The people around them help to make them great.

We all need people in our lives who raise our standards, remind us of our essential purpose, and challenge us to become the-best-version-of-ourselves.

Uplift & support

When you admire something about another woman, tell her. Get into the habit of lifting each other up. 

This is a powerful statement.

Put aside pride, envy, jealousy, strife, rivalry, competition, bitterness, judgement.

Get into the habit of uplifting each other.

Say NO to mom-shaming.

We all have enough plates to balance, enough hats to wear, enough responsibilities to juggle on a daily basis.

Let's be kind and support one another.

The world will be much more beautiful.

Go to where magic happens

The comfort zone is a nice place… but nothing grows there.

When you step out of your comfort zone, you are stepping into a beautiful place where MAGIC happens.

You are stepping out into greatness where you can grow and become stronger.

Greener grass

 

Many years ago when I was a full-time working mom, I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom so badly. I wanted to spend more time with my son.

When I was pregnant with my second son, I quit the corporate world, putting an end to my corporate career pathway (I was working in one of the Big 4s).

As much as I want to be a stay-at-home mom full time, I know it'd be financially challenging. Single income in Klang Valley is doable but it's not what my husband and I are comfortable with.

So I opt to be a working from home mom with flexible hours. Sounds like the best of both worlds right? I get to spend time with my kids at home while still can bring back some bacon, so to speak.

The grass is greener where you water it.

I've come to the realization that envying other people's life doesn't mean a thing.

I just need to water the grass at where I am and it will definitely be greener!

Tell your story

 

Sharing your story has the ability to change the ending of someone else's story.

4 Benefits to Sharing Your Story based on Psychology Today.

The importance of sharing your story isn't just the telling or writing it down, but knowing that your story will be heard by others and the hope that by sharing in a public way, someone else might be inspired or helped by your story.

1) Realizing that sharing your story can help others

Stories can be very healing and many people benefit from getting the opportunity to pass on their wisdom to others. This can be especially powerful for people who do not always feel that they have the chance to help others.

2) Finding your voice

It means learning how to express yourself and learning how to think about what has happened in your life in a way that makes sense. It helps to think about your life as a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. It helps to think about how the various events—even the bad ones—have been part of a journey toward the person you want to become.

3) Re-affirming your values

Sometimes you learn things about yourself from the act of writing or storytelling. It can be a way to clarify what is important. Pausing to tell your story can be a good reminder of your priorities. It is so easy to get swept up in the day-to-day hustle and bustle. Taking some time to focus on values can be beneficial.

4) Finding peace, finding hope

People who have found their voice, shared their story, and reaffirmed their values often find a sense of peace and a hopefulness that they did not have before.

Goal, Plan, Action

 

A dream written down with a date becomes a GOAL.

A goal broken down into steps becomes a PLAN.

A plan backed by ACTION makes your dreams come true.

Help

Quite some time ago, a church mentor said something along this line: "Don't expect help from people. Don't feel that you're entitled to receive help. You have to help yourself. Any form of help you receive from others along the way, consider them as a bonus."

At that time, I didn't really understand what was he talking about.

Now, having been through different phases in my life, I think, I've begun to understand it better now.

A friend told me recently: "Not forgetting, when you see others in need of help, a simple reach out may mean a lot to the one who's already feeling helpless, even though it's a small gesture from yourself."

As I go through learning curves, this quote solidifies my current experience: "Help others change their lives and, as a result, change yours."

I'm grateful to have met mentors who are here to help and inspire personal growth and make life-changing decisions.

It makes me want to become such mentor too, one day, to help others change their lives.

Quotes about comfort zone

Success is always found outside of your comfort zone. One day, you will realize that your "comfort zone" isn't so comfortable after all. – Rayne Ho

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. – Neale Donald Walsch

The best things in life are often waiting for you at the exit ramp of your comfort zone. – Karen Salmansohn

Be willing to step outside your comfort zone once in a while; take the risks in life that seem worth taking. The ride might not be as predictable if you'd just planted your feet and stayed put, but it will be a heck of a lot more interesting. – Edward Whitacre, Jr.

Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new. – Brian Tracy

I'm continually trying to make choices that put me against my own comfort zone. As long as you're uncomfortable, it means you're growing. – Ashton Kutcher

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown. – Denis Waitley

The best piece of advice someone has ever given me was 'do it scared'. And no matter if you're scared, just go ahead and do it anyway because you might as well do it scared, so it will get done and you will feel so much better if you step out of your comfort zone. – Sherri Shepherd

What I find really interesting is to try and mix it up, to push myself and try different things. I don't want to stay in my comfort zone. I want to take risks and keep myself scared. – Michael Fassbender

Whatever You Decide To Do, Make Sure It Makes You Happy

Are you doing something that makes you happy?

Yes? No?

For a lot of people, the answer is, NO. Why?

Just think about one thing that makes you happy.

Are you currently making a living out of that something that makes you happy?

Again, the answer is, NO.

For the past few months, I have been working on something that makes me happy. Something that inspires me, fulfills me, challenges me.

And this quote summarizes it:

"Whatever You Decide To Do, Make Sure It Makes You Happy"

• Has the journey been easy? To be honest, no.
• Would I meet haters and nay-sayers? Absolutely!
• Do I have to face my fears? Yes!
• Do I need to make compromises and sacrifices? To some extent, yes.
• Most importantly, is it worth doing? YES!

Figure out what makes you happy.

And when you have got that figured out, do more of it.

Because, when you are doing something that makes you happy, it will show.

People around you will see it and one day they will understand and they will support you.

I truly believe in this.

This helps to ease mothers who are exhausted from the daily struggle of peeling off tapes, labels and washing off permanent ink markers.

Heaven-sent tool for breastfeeding moms

This convenient product benefits all ages and is perfect for daycare, kindergarten, school, sports and even the office.
