Work from home mothers all share pretty much the same issues; children, family, housework, space, organisation. Stay at home mothers have SO much stuff that pushes for space in their schedule that working mothers just don’t have to deal with. Please don’t misunderstand me, I have been both a working mother and a stay at home working mother and I completely understand the issues that both mothers face, however, the mother who works from home has a fairly unique set of issues.
Our own mothers are the worst at not taking our work from home seriously. When I worked from home, my mother called at any time and I just didn’t feel that I could say to her “Mum, this is my time for working, can I get back to you”. After all, I answered the phone didn’t I?
Many of the questions address what you are doing now: * Are people asking you for the services? * Do you already know how to do the services? * Do you know how they will offer the services? Some questions help me determine if you have the “stuff” right now to be a business owner. Passion and determination can take a person far as a business owner. Business skills can be learned or delegated. You don’t want to have to worry about learning a whole new skill set for services AND how to run a business at the same time. You want something that is easy to get going, has low overhead, and you can have confidence right away in your abilities to give great service.
I found that as a woman who worked from home I was asked to do things that no one would dream of asking a full time working mother to do; drop everything to pick up dry cleaning; prepare a culinary masterpiece for unexpected dinner guests; change the bed in the spare room because the in-laws are coming to stay etc. Stay at home mothers have this happen all the time.
Stay at home mothers who work from home need to make sure that they set boundaries, both on their time and their availability and that they absolutely stick to them. When other people cross them, kindly, but firmly, make the person aware that you are not available at the moment because you are working. It is even worth actually having a timetable that your nearest and dearest have access to. You need to be really firm and just don’t answer the phone when it rings during work time and when your partner calls to ask you if you could just (insert whatever it is that your partner asks you to do) SAY NO!
Your family and friends just need to be taught the new routine. Perhaps you can schedule coffee time with friends into your week? You need to have a specific time for chores that happen out of the house and if something comes up unexpectedly ask yourself “if I was working in an office, with a boss a) would I have been asked to do this and b) would my boss think it is acceptable?” If the answer to either of these questions is NO, then don’t do it!
