How motherhood shifted my Philosophy on business

Published September 10, 2019

One of the key changes that many mothers experience is a shift in their focus from solely pursuing financial success to creating businesses that align with their values and contribute to a greater purpose.

For example, a mother might start a business that supports causes she cares about or that offers flexible work arrangements that allow her to spend more time with her children.

Mothers may also be more inclined to build businesses that prioritise social responsibility and sustainability.

They may see their business as a way to make a positive impact on the world and leave a legacy for their children. This can include everything from using environmentally-friendly products to supporting local communities and charities.

Another key aspect of the philosophy of business after becoming a mother is the importance of work-life balance.

For many mothers, their children are their top priority, and they want to be able to balance the demands of running a business with the responsibilities of parenthood.

This can mean creating flexible work schedules, hiring support staff, or outsourcing certain tasks to free up time for family.

Finally, mothers may also approach business with a greater sense of empathy and compassion, recognising that their employees and customers are human beings with their own needs and challenges.

They may prioritise building strong relationships with their team and customers, and seek to create a culture of mutual respect and support.

Overall, the philosophy on business after becoming a mother is grounded in a deep sense of purpose, meaning, and connection.

By prioritising work-life balance, building relationships, and striving to make a positive impact on the world, mothers can create successful businesses that are both fulfilling and rewarding.
