For many new work at home mums business doesn’t just start rolling in the door from day one. Building your business is damn hard work but it also brings a great deal of satisfaction as well.

Often new business owners seem to have a lot of time on their hands waiting for the phone to ring or for orders to come in so that they have something to do. Remember that old saying, ‘A watched pot never boils.’ How true is that and what a chuckle I got reading Jacqui’s blog post about waiting for her emails to come into her inbox and hitting refresh over and over again.

I am sure we’ve been guilty of it, just sitting staring blindly at the computer screen waiting for it do something, anything would be nice Is this you? Do you find yourself doing this regularly? How do you stop yourself from hitting that refresh button over and over again or from checking your send/recieve button on your inbox?

Ok just a quick one tonight, but you really must jump over to the Diva Days blog and check out this You Tube Video and song, it’s awesome. Just another to add to the confidence boost that us WAHM’s need to not only give to each other but also to ourselves.

Enjoy the song and let me know what you think. Click here >>>

This thing called confidence seems to rear it’s ugly head quite a bit in the work at home mum world. Why is that? Why did we go from being confident, well organised career women, to someone that hides at home hoping that maybe our little business might just make us some money one day.

Why are we unable to stand up and be proud about what we are doing, after all it is the most challenging and difficult job in the world. If you actually think for a moment about all of the skills required for us to just maintain an efficient schedule and get through each day then surely we should have confidence in there somewhere.

It saddens me to see this with the WAHM world. I wonder that just because we aren’t in our little 3m x 3m cubicle in a 20 story office building that what we are doing isn’t seen to be overly valuable. Is that why we WAHM’s lack confidence? The Tall Poppy Blog discusses these sorts of issues all of the time in regards to women in general and Anne from the Tall Poppy has created ‘Confidence In A Box’. Now how neat would that be if we could just go down to the local store and ask for a box of confidence each week in the grocery shopping, that would surely make things easier wouldn’t!

Anne has asked has to help spread the Confidence In A Box around the world so here is my gift from Anne to me to you – ‘Confidence In A Box’.

Ok this may sound a little off track for my blog, but I need to keep reminding myself that although I may have my own work from home business and although I may be a mother of two and a wife, housekeeper and all the other labels I could so easily list here. The number one thing that I am is “Me” and I need to remind myself of that.

Nicole from the Modern Goddess has done some many wonderful things for me in the short time I have known her. She has given me the courage to look within and spend some time getting to know me. In essence she is helping me find my inner Goddess.

When was the last time you really thought about you, we get so caught up in the busyness of our everyday lives that ‘we’ often get overlooked. Maybe, just maybe if you were to spend more time on you then everything else in your life, including your business would be so much more successful.

I urge you to visit Nicole’s blog and to read it regularly she shares some wonderful information and is truly a beautiful being and I am blessed to have met her (albeit only online). In fact she recently put up this fun quiz asking if you are a Goddess, so jump over and take the quiz, see you there soon.
