Teresia's Blog

Another productive day of masterminding is occurring and as I mentioned in my previous blog, health and fitness is my number one value as I move into being a mompreneur.

Following that one is:

Quality time with Brian. (Sharing, connection, growth, fun)  I have read and heard that in many situations the father can feel left out or not a priority anymore when baby joins the family.  Many men have this fear, some are conscious of it and some are not.  Go figure - mom is exhausted, stretched out of her comfort zone doing her best to adapt to the changes and needs of this precious soul.  It is natural for a mom to bond and have a connection with baby, but to maintain this with daddy may not always come easy.

It is important to me to continue to cultivate a loving relationship between Brian and I.  I know that great relationships take commitment and effort.

Quality time with our child (connection, sharing, nurturing, fun, mentorship)

Quality time with my girlfriends (connection, sharing, growth, fun)

The day before I left for our mastermind retreat I had an ultrasound appointment.  Brian could not make the appointment; I decided to make it a girl’s event. It was very special to have three of my closests girlfriends there, after we went for dinner.  When I got home I realized how filled up I was to have shared this time with friends.  I get the same feeling when I am with my mastermind team.  When I am a mom, quality time with friends is a must!  Can I follow through?

The above priorities fulfill my values of connection, sharing, growth, and fun.  (Later I will share my insights around my values of inspiration and leadership and how they fit into my business priorities.)

Part of my reinvention from entrepreneur to mommpreneur is to truly step into designing my ideal life first and having my business it into that.  This concept is something I have been coaching on for years.  

As an entrepreneur, with no children I did not feel I needed to  be fully diligent with this concept – as my time was my time and  in every moment I felt I had choice of how I could spend my tim – I rarely felt like I was sacrificing what was important to me.

Becoming a mom I believe it will not be the same experience.  As I have coached many working moms to do so, it is important now for me to claim my personal priorities as number one.  I know it is a stretch.  It is easier said and done.  I love what I do in my business; my business has been my identity for many years.  Success, achievement and making a difference are important to me and have been a main driver for many years.

Can I really put the above priorities first and feel at peace with that? What will happen to my business when I act accordingly to these priorities?

Well I am ready to find out. This is my ideal life. This is what is important to me. I am ready to walk my talk!

I wrote this blog on a short lunch break on day 2. I am behind on sharing my insights with you. I have so many to share!

Well off to be part of another extraordinary conversations as we begin our afternoon of hotseats.

Talk soon!
