WHY MOMS MAKE THE BEST ENTREPRENEURS

Updated: Mar 25, 2022

Have you ever thought about being an entrepreneur? More and more moms are turning to self employment and there's a pretty good reason. Were good at it!


When you look at your mom, have you ever wondered how she manages to get so much work done when both of you have 24 hours in a day. It is fair to say that mothers are like machines who have mastered the art of multitasking. From managing a household to maintaining a career, there is nothing that mothers can’t do.





Which is also why moms are cut-out for entrepreneurship. While there are management books that will teach you the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, the life of a mother is the best textbook for budding entrepreneurs. If you are still not convinced, here is why moms make the best entrepreneurs.


Moms have seen it all


The journey of entrepreneurship is filled with potholes and roadblocks. Many entrepreneurs give up even before realizing their dream. Mothers are probably the most experienced group of people when it comes to facing hardships. They have seen everything from late-night cries to early morning mischiefs of their children. Every day is a new challenge with a new set of problems but they never give up. That is the kind of attitude you expect from a solid entrepreneur.


Moms know how to get the work done


Do you remember the time when you lied about fever to skip school? Not only did your mother manage to catch your lie, but she also dressed you, made you breakfast, and sent you to school on time. A mom knows how to get the work done in the middle of hundred other problems. As an entrepreneur, moms will have no problem meeting deadlines while simultaneously tackling other problems in the organization.


Moms know how to manage time


This needs no explanation because we have all seen our mothers working all day and doing all the household work without complaining for even a second. In a utopian society, both father and mother would share the household work equally. However, that is definitely not the case.


Moms know how to manage their time and get things done. Time management is probably the most important aspect of entrepreneurship. How you devote your time to get maximum output becomes the crux of entrepreneurship and there is no better example than your own mother.


Moms can wear multiple hats


If you carefully observe, it is your mother that keeps the house functional in the middle of all the laziness exhibited by other family members. This is because she not only wears the hat of a mother but is also the doctor, chef, therapist, teacher, etc. of the household.


Moms possess diverse skills and know how to handle a situation even when it does not fall under their area of expertise. These are the qualities that you look for in an entrepreneur. The flexibility to acquire new skills and the confidence to face new challenges are classic traits of an entrepreneur.


Conclusion


Motherhood and entrepreneurship are two different domains that fall in completely different spectrums. However, the journey of motherhood perfectly molds a woman to enter an opposite journey of entrepreneurship. For all those mothers looking for financial independence, it is never too late as you can always tap on the door of entrepreneurship.
