222: Building a Business While Homeschooling w/ Amy Traugh

In today's episode, Nicole interviews Amy Traugh, a former healthcare worker turned mompreneur and self-proclaimed "chaos coordinator". 

 

Amy shares her unexpected pivot from physical therapy to entrepreneurship, which was sparked by the challenges of suddenly homeschooling her young children during the pandemic. 

 

She reveals the messy action and mindset shifts that helped her embrace imperfection and grow a business while managing a household and homeschooling. 

 

Amy provides tactical tips for moms looking to balance family and entrepreneurship through intentional time management. 

 

5 Key Takeaways:

1. Being forced to leave your job and suddenly homeschool kids is scary, but you can get through it by just taking "the next best step forward".

2. Look at how you're spending time each day and seek small pockets where you can work smarter, like outsourcing chores.

3. Manage your family like a business - create a family mission statement, assign roles and responsibilities.

4. Asking for help doesn't mean failure - you can't do it all alone. Outsource what you can.

5. Celebrate small wins - you don't have to be perfect, just consistent and disciplined in moving towards your "why".
