Working a double life as a full-time employee and as an entrepreneur is an exhausting life.
It’s exhausting a lot of the time. Now imagine that and then adding motherhood to the mix. You go through a flood of emotions. You feel guilty because you’re not spending enough time with the kids. Exhaustion because you are working in the wee hours of the night after the kids go to bed. Chaos because in order to balance you have to sacrifice something and for me that is the housework. Sometimes the dishes get left in the sink or the floor doesn’t get swept as often as it should.
But I think the hardest part of trying to “do it all” is the battle to stay motivated. There is a little bird (or something) asking will all this work pay off? Just give up already and just do your best at work. JUST THROW IN THE TOWEL ALREADY.
That is when I read some of the posts on Weekend Entrepreneur, a great motivational blog that talks about how others have made the transition into financial independence.
Not only that they also talk about business strategies and business tips. If you want to learn more heck out the Weekend Entrepreneur.

I’ve definitely got to check out Weekend Entrepreneur. I can definitely relate to the work/life balance that seems so out of reach and the exhaustion. I spent so many years working both full time and for myself that I wore myself into the ground. Now I’m finally working for myself full time, but still working toward that “breakthrough” and fighting thoughts of whether all the hard work is worth it. But what I’ve learned is that at the end of the day, I feel good about what I’ve done and where I am in life. More money (LOTS more) would be nice, but I’d rather be happy working for myself than have overflowing pockets and be miserable working for someone else. So I’ll keep plugging along, no matter how tough it gets.

Thanks for sharing about weekend entreprenuer! Your blog is great and you are doing a fabulous job, keep it up.
I can definitely relate. You have some really good info, will need to check it out. I have a 6 year old daughter, and boy does she keep me hopping. It’s really tough working full time, trying to work on an internet business and taking care of the family.
