Have You Ever Lost Your WAHM Mojo?

My guest this week on Work at Home Moms Talk Radio is Sarah Zeldman.  I asked her to join me to talk about a season that she’s been through recently where she felt that she had ‘lost her mojo’ for her WAH business.

She was not entirely sure how she felt about letting the ‘whole world’ know about how overwhelmed she had gotten at one point - but like other brave WAHMs that I’ve been honored to have on my show to share their struggles - Sarah realized that in sharing her weaknesses, should could help others.

Be sure to tune into the show to hear her story.

Now, let me ask you:  Have you ever lost your business mojo?

Have you ever lost interest in what you’re doing or felt a lack of motivation to get things done that lasted more than a few days?

Last week on Mom’s Morning Show we talked about how important it is to choose your WAH business carefully.  When you take honest stock of your skills, interests and temperament you can pick a business model that suits you well and fits comfortably into your lifestyle.

When you ignore these things you may jump head first into something that isn’t at all suitable for you.

Either way, you may experience times when you lack motivation.  But a business that fits you like a glove will be a lot easier to ‘find your mojo’ in than something that you have to strain to do.

What is mojo anyways as it applies to working at home? And why is it so important?

I think of mojo as the fire in my belly that drives me to serve my community.  When my mojo burns hot I am motivated to develop resources and relationships that will benefit work at home moms.  My mojo urges me to finish projects and start new ones that will meet specific needs that work at home moms have.

• The flames of my mojo are fed by knowing that a mom who gets to stay home one more day because she was able to earn a few more WAH dollars is a happier mom with a happier family.
• The flames burn hotter when I am reminded that there are heartless wretches out there scheming ways to scam these moms and rob them of what might be their last chance to work at home.
• The heat builds when another mom gets to quit her day job and let her daycare provider go because her internet marketing business has finally replaced (or exceeded) her paycheck.

Do I ever lack motivation?  Oh yeah.  But the flame never goes out.

I sure hope that you can say the same.
