Finding inspiration to work at home isn’t always easy. Some days…are one of those days.

Everything is just all wrong from the moment you wake up. The house is a mess. The kids are cranky. You feel one step behind. You didn’t get a good night’s sleep. You have to go to your day job and the last thing you want to do is more work at night.

It just seems easier to do nothing. Make no progress towards your dream of running a successful business from home. Oh, I’d rather read instead or maybe I’ll make some cookies.

My favorite little tip is to set the timer( on the stove, on the microwave, on your cell phone) and start surfing for inspiration to work at home today. Usually it only takes 15 or 20 minutes to inspire me to do one more business task today.

I think we underestimate the power of doing one more thing each day. In the moment, it seems like it doesn’t matter. But, what does a month look like if you stretched yourself and did one more small thing than you felt like doing each and every day? How about after a year?

That’s why it’s important to continue to find the inspiration to work at home. Keep going. Keep at it.

Momentum is everything. If you skip one day…one day turns into two days…then it turns into a week.

How many weeks have you not been working your business? Where is that getting you?

So, here’s a few places I’ve been lately looking for inspiration. Enjoy!

Being a work at home mom isn’t always fun and games. The change in routine, be it the fact that you are all together more often, or that the kids need to learn to be more self-sufficient can make everyone feel a little grouchy.  That grouchiness could sneak up on you and affect the effort you put into your business. It is worth it to focus on living positively.

Are you tired of hearing all the grumbling and complaining around your house?  Do you ever find yourself just feeling down for no reason?  Maybe it’s time the family has a positive attitude adjustment.  It may take some time to get everyone in the swing of things, but before you know it everyone will be enjoying life more.
