As a life coach and a successful coach, I often encounter a common question from both men and women: 

“How do you manage your kids and home as an 8-figure coach?” 

This question highlights the doubts and fears that society often places on women who choose to run their businesses. 

In this blog, I address these concerns and share my experience, shedding light on how prioritizing personal growth and pursuing entrepreneurial ambitions can lead to a harmonious and fulfilling life for you and your family.

1. Embrace Individuality

Since embarking on my journey as a life coach, I’ve discovered a profound truth: when we prioritize our personal growth, we create a positive ripple effect in our lives and the lives of our loved ones. Contrary to the belief that managing a business and a family is impossible, I have found that by embracing my individuality and pursuing my passions, I have become a better parent, partner, and overall person.

2. Find Time for Yourself

One key aspect of managing a successful business and a family is recognizing the importance of self-care and personal time. By permitting ourselves to prioritize our needs, we nurture our growth and set an example for our children. Taking solo trips, indulging in hobbies, spending time with friends, and visiting family should not be considered selfish acts but essential elements of personal development.

3. Enhance Relationships and Improve Quality of Life

Contrary to popular belief, investing in personal growth and coaching business does not jeopardize family bonds. My relationships have flourished since I started my entrepreneurial journey. My love life has blossomed, and my bond with my in-laws has strengthened. By valuing ourselves, we inspire our children to appreciate their individuality and learn the importance of embracing their passions.

4. Defy Artificial Standards

It’s crucial not to let societal expectations and artificial standards hinder our personal and professional growth. By creating our standards and wholeheartedly committing to them, we can break free from the limitations imposed on us. Choosing your growth over your family does not make you selfish; it makes you self-sufficient, empowered, and capable of providing your loved ones with a richer life experience.

5. Manage Priorities

Balancing the responsibilities of a coach and a parent requires effective time management and prioritization. Establishing clear boundaries and carving out dedicated time for your business and your family is important. By setting realistic goals and organizing your schedule efficiently, you can ensure that you devote quality time to your children while also driving your entrepreneurial endeavours forward. Remember, it’s not about spreading yourself thin across multiple tasks but about focusing on what truly matters in each moment.

6. Delegate and Seek Support

As an 8-figure coach, you must recognize that you don’t have to do everything alone. Building a reliable support system and delegating tasks at home and in your business can alleviate the pressure and allow you to thrive in all areas of your life. Surround yourself with trustworthy individuals who can help manage household chores, childcare, and administrative tasks, freeing up more of your time and energy. Remember, seeking support is not a sign of weakness but a strategic decision enabling you to excel in multiple roles.

7. Effective Communication

Open and honest communication with your family is vital in maintaining a harmonious balance between the coaching business and parenting. Regularly engage in conversations with your spouse and children, discussing your aspirations, challenges, and how they can contribute to the family’s success. By involving your loved ones in your journey, they will feel a sense of shared responsibility and develop a deeper understanding of your commitments. Encourage open dialogue, express your love and appreciation, and address any concerns or conflicts that may arise along the way.

8. Flexibility and Adaptability

Being a coach and a parent requires flexibility and adaptability as life’s circumstances inevitably change. Embrace the unpredictable nature of coaching business and parenting, and be prepared to adjust your plans and strategies accordingly. Modifying your work schedule or accommodating your family’s needs is okay. Remember, the ability to adapt is a strength that will help you navigate the ever-evolving landscape of balancing business and parenthood.

9. Lead by Example

As an 8-figure coach, you can inspire your children through your actions. By pursuing your passions, achieving success, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance, you become a role model for your kids. Teach them the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and fulfilment from following their dreams. Show them that creating a life that aligns with their values and aspirations is possible. Leading by example empowers the next generation to embrace their entrepreneurial spirit and strive for greatness.

Love From Your Coach

In conclusion, managing your kids and home as an 8-figure coach is possible with the right mindset, strategies, and support. Embrace your individuality, prioritize personal growth, communicate effectively, and remain adaptable to the changing circumstances of your business and family life. 

Remember, you can create a life that combines success in coaching business with the joys and fulfilment of parenthood. You are capable, resilient, and deserving of a life that encompasses professional achievement and meaningful connections with your loved ones. Keep thriving, and may your journey be filled with love, fulfilment, and endless possibilities.
