Well, hey there mama, and Happy 2019!
There’s just something about January, right? All that possibility just crackling in the air. All that potential, just waiting to be realized. All those things that you are going to DO this year — it’s exciting.
I think that part of it is that when we set goals for the year, we feel like we have a whole year to get them done. When I first set my own goal for leaving my job and going all in on this Virtual Administrative Consulting thing, I gave myself a year. It felt just far enough away to not be too scary — but close enough to be attainable.
Here’s the thing about a year, though. It sneaks up on you. January becomes February, and suddenly the snow is turning to rain, and it’s spring, and the school year is nearly over — and all of a sudden, it’s September, and the end of the year is within reach.

And those goals we set, back when everything seemed possible? Sometimes, we’re not any closer to them.
Last year, I talked to a LOT of mamas who told me that they definitely want to get started, take the plunge, join the Free Mama Movement, and rock this working from home thing out — next year.
Guess what, Mama? Next year is HERE! Next year is NOW! It’s TIME for you to do all those things you said you wanted to do.
Waiting to start the rest of your life isn’t going to do anything. Your VAC business might just be the first step in an incredible path — but if you never get started, you ‘ll never have a chance to see all the amazing things life has in store for you.
Maybe that’s part of what’s holding you back — the thought that you have to hit ALL YOUR GOALS at once. You don’t have to do that, and it’s not even close to possible. You can’t do everything at once. You have to prioritize. You have to take the first step, and after that, you can take the next step.
Last week, I took a next step that I hope will help YOU, Mama. I started FreeMamaTV, my new YouTube channel. If you’ve been struggling to get started as a Virtual Administrative Consultant, you will LOVE the episodes we’ve already released.
You’ll find tips and practical information on HOW to take those very first steps so that you can have all those things you want: time with your kids, financial security, the freedom to leave the 9-5 behind, and more.
One of the things I hear from a lot of women is, “What if?”
What if I start this program, and then I lose my job?
What if I send out 5 proposals and everybody says yes and I have too much work?
What if I take on a project and then a different opportunity pops up?
Mama, I have a question for you.
What if you do absolutely nothing, and everything in your life stays exactly the same?
Yes, change is scary. But there’s no point in spending time worrying about what might happen down the line IF you do this thing and IF this other thing then happens — there are too many variables.
One step.
Then the next step.
You can do this Mama — and you don’t have to do it alone.
