Are You Struggling to Stay Consistent? Here are my 5 Tips to help,

Everyone struggles with being Consistent at some things, we are only human.  But when you are consistent the results are Amazing.  

From my experience when I have been consistent in my business, my business grew which gave me even more motivation, here are my tips for anyone that is struggling to stay consistent.

Tip 1 - Remember Your Why- This is so important because you have to remind yourself why you are spending time on your business, what is it for ? Who is it for? You need to have a clear vision, whats the result and who are you helping.  I would write in down somewhere so you see it everyday.

Tip 2-  Concentrate on one thing at a time, when you are starting in a business it can be very overwhelming and you feel you have to do everything immediately.  Think about what is the most important daily step for your business and make sure you do this daily until it becomes a habit. Then start to make another task consistent.  Obviously there are going to be a few things that have to be done everyday. just concentrate on one task at a time.

Tip 3- Stop any Distractions- To work on one thing at a time you have to focus on that task only. So only have the tabs up you need, and if you are not working on facebook or other social media, turn them off.  They are so distracting to anyone and you probably end up reading things that are not helping you.

Tip 4-  Ignore Negative Self Talk or Procrastination - You have to be strong enough to ignore the ' I will do it later' or the ' I don't feel like it' this won't get your business anywhere.  Start thinking about the positive reasons for working your Business and revert back to your why.  Your mind will become stronger the more motivated you become.

Tip 5  - Schedule your Action Steps into your day, even break it up throughout the day.  Putting into your day is better than trying to fit it in when you are very busy, it is more than likely it wouldn't get done.  My advice for all the mums is to do the longest tasks as soon as you can in the day, even before the Children wake up.

 I hope that my tips help you be more consistent in your business.  If they do please leave a comment and don't forget to come over to my facebook page HERE  for more advice on how to be a happy mumpreneur,

Working my Younique Business around 3 Small Children and a Pregnancy

Hey Ladies,

  When I joined Younique as a founding UK Presenter I was 7 months Pregnant.  I did have to make a decision prior to whether I could handle a business as well as my 3 Children aged 5,3 and almost 2 at the time plus a Pregnancy, never mind 4 Children under 6.

  I made the decision that I could do it, if other Younique Presenter were doing it why couldn't I,  I did have experience of working online and in Direct Sales so I knew that you decided your hours and how much time you will put into your business.

 I am a girl with vision for my future, I didn't used to but when you have financial problems, or other hard times in your life something inside your mind switches to thinking in a different way.  For me instead of struggling each month to even pay bills I wanted to not worry about money so working around my Children was the way to do it.

 So currently 2 days before my due date and I am writing this blog post which is in fact part of my business so I am still working.  But its fun and doesn't feel like work.  I am also still supporting my team, making sure they are happy and know what there next steps are.  I am still marketing my business on social media and helping customers.  With Online Marketing you can do things when you can, its not got to be done straight away.  This is the positives of working online and why so many mums are turning to online businesses.

 I work whilst my son naps and when the Children have gone to bed.  Which is what I used to do as a Mummy Blogger so quite normal for me.

 My advice for any mums that have decided to work from home via the internet is to create a daily plan and stick to it.  Planning is key!

          I hope you enjoyed todays Blog Post.  If you want to find out more about being a Younique Presenter then take a look at my website HERE or email me on workfromhomemumuk@outlook.com.

Decide on Your Why for your Business

It is so important to decide on Your Why for your Business because you will go through lows and wonder what you are making the effort for, its the negative mindset.  So if we have a 'why' why you are doing the business, why you started and what changed you intend to make to your life and others around you, it give you the drive, motivation and passion to move forward.

Ask Yourself........

Why did you make the decision to grow your business, who will it it benefit?

What changes do you want to make?

 I also share with you my why! Hope you enjoy the Video!

Before Younique I was a Mummy Blogger

 Hey, Just wanted to share this Video I created a little while ago... 'Before Younique I was a Mummy Blogger'

 In fact I still am a mummy blogger, just have put it to the side this year. Since having my Children I have learned so much about how mums can socialise on the internet, share their story and now earn a living.  Its been an amazing journey and one I am so grateful to be continuing!

Strength and Growth Come Only Through Continuous Effort & Struggle

  When you struggle in life it makes you grow, makes you become a stronger and better person.  Everyone has struggles but it is what you choose to do with your problems that makes you the person you become later.

Do you.... feel sorry for yourself and expect other people to rescue you?

Or

Do you stand up for what you want, what you believe in and what you know you deserve??


 My family have been through a tough year and a half, from only one parent working, my other half Phil, myself having to look after our 3 Children and be a stay at home mum, to Phil being made redundant, getting into contracting then loosing his job really close to Christmas. We only had enough for Food and Petrol to get to and from school until our application had gone through the benefit system.

 I felt like a bad mum because I could not be able to afford Christmas Presents as the only money I had was to pay for food and petrol.  I remember breaking down in tears in front of my mum and admitting buying Christmas Presents was not possible.  My mum was amazing and did buy them for us.  But deep deep inside if you cannot provide for your Children you feel a failure.  I couldn't have crashed my Children world of Santa wonderland, its so magical for them but for us, it was a nightmare.

 It was also an awful experience to loose our Car which was on finance.  Having Cars on finance was the norm to us,we had both had cars for 5 years and not missed a payment.  Missing 2 payments and we received a letter saying the car was being taken away.   Having to have some stranger come to our house ask us questions, give him the paperwork and Keys and having to take our Children's carseats out and let it go.  I had to be so strong, try not to cry, try not to feel like it was my fault, our fault.  I had to listen to my eldest Child asking when we would have our blue car back.  we had to be positive and think we have learned our lesson not to borrow money.

It was a hard time when we couldn't rent, when we were not entitled to help as the application hadn't gone through.  It was also tough when I had to pay the rent from a cheque my Grandma had given me.  It wasn't given to me for a months rent, it was intended to help get things we needed.  But we were in a time of need and it was the only option we had.  Infact it saved us from loosing our house as we had received a letter saying they wanted us out!

So this was a snippet of that time, but this time of struggle made us come to a decision that even working in employment to just pay the bills was not our reality.  It was not the reality we deserved.

So we made the decision, the decision to change our lives into a new reality.  Where we didn't worry about finances, paying Bills, the fact our Children could go swimming classes, Gynastics, Football whatever my little people were excited about.  We decided we deserved to be able to go on date nights because we could afford a babysitter, we knew we deserved to go on holidays, to take the Children Disney to see their little faces in amazement.  A life that we once dreamed about.

I know how hard it is to be a stay at home, having to look after Children is a demanding 'job' but when you are struggling financially, this is not right.  I want to inspire Mums especially that they can still be a Stay at home Mum, that they can afford a babysitter so they can go out for a massage, go the gym, whatever they want to do that relaxes them.  Each Mum needs a bit of time out, to think and appreciate what we have.

I want to show Mums that they can run an amazing business from home around their Children working only a few hours a day if they wanted too.  I want People to realise that they have to change their reality as no one else can do that for you.  You have got to make the decision to begin!

A Mum Can be a stay at home Mum and Run a successful Business, you just have to believe it, yes it may be hard at time but the result makes the journey so worth it.

I intend to Empower & Inspire Women to Dream Big and Find their Inner Sparkle.

I am a Founding Younique Presenter for the UK

So Exciting ....... Younique has now launched in the United Kingdom :)

For a few weeks now I decided that I couldn't turn the opportunity down as its so successful in the United States.  Plus I love makeup, what girly Girl doesn't?

On October the first at 10am Younique opened its website up for UK recruits, I had butterflies, I just knew that so many UK girls would be signing up.  So as soon as I saw the UK button I filled the form as fast as I could with a 1 year old causing mischief.  As soon as I pressed the Submit button I was so excited to recieve an update telling me I was 47th UK Younique Presenter.

Younique Corprate had predicted that the first 999 spots would be taken up in under 24 hours.  They were infact taken up in 26 minutes!! 

  I am so excited about this opportunity as it is exactly what I have been looking for the last year.  I love working with Women, I love inspiring mums especially that they don't have to either struggle in a job they hate, or the fact they want to be a stay at home mum.  Also to inspire the stay at home mums that struggle financially that they don't have to struggle.  

 I have been in another network marketing company that trains you on all the aspects on being a great entrepreneur so I can take away what I have learned and teach my team how to succeed. 

 I will be receiving my Younique Presenters Kit in about 3-5 days time so watch out for that blog Post.

Check out my Video talking about Joining Younique officially .....

My Mission in life..... is to Teach

 Since becoming a mum 5 years ago,  a lot of things changed in my life including my dreams, my desires.  Except one thing, my mission to teach others.

 Prior I wanted to teach Children in a Primary School, I even went to university for a year but realise it wasn't the path for me.

 When I got pregnant with Annabelle my plan was to go on maternity leave then become a child care assessor and teach adults to become nursery nurses or classroom assistants.

 When I had Annabelle that plan disappeared.

  I then KNEW what I wanted...  I wanted to be a stay at home mum.   I didn't want someone else looking after my daughter whilst I was out at work.  I didn't want to be earning my money and paying childcare near enough the same.  What was the point.  My daughter was only young once and I was not going to let work stop that special time.

 However as lovely as it is spending all day and night with your children it is also amazing to be bringing money into the household.

  Every path I take takes me to one thing I love, teaching.  Whether its teaching children or adults.  This time my mission is to teach others that there is a better way of life.

 I want to get my message to the people in the world that need to know that struggling each month to pay the bills shouldn't be their reality, that having to work and not spend time with their children does not have to be the only way.    I want to teach others that they can have an amazing life and a business they love, its not a dream it can be a reality.

My main mission comes from the heart, it is to show the mums out there that you can be a stay at home mum AND a work at home mum.  

 You do not have to choose work or stay at home, why not have both.  I know lots of mums that feel they have to work as its the only way to pay the bills, the mortgage but are sad and jealous that other mums can stay at home with their children.  Or stay at home mums that struggle to pay the bills, that don't have a lot of money to take their children to nice places, even playbarns.  

Whatever circumstance is not ideal for most mums.   I will show mums and teach them how to have a business and life they love.  This is my mission.
