How’s Your Confidence?

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’.
