The Balance Between Entrepreneurship & Motherhood
Amy Lacy’s entrepreneurial voyage seamlessly weaves together the realms of business and family, revealing invaluable insights. By involving her children in her business, she instills in them a sense of responsibility and entrepreneurial spirit. Amy believes this integration not only benefits her family dynamics but also nurtures young minds for societal contribution.
Amy’s entrepreneurial journey is an amazing example to bringing together business and family. There is a delicate balance that involves setting boundaries and being more present with our children.
- Involve Your Children In Business: By involving your children in your business, they learn a sense of responsibility and entrepreneurial spirit, which benefits the family, and the child for their future and being able to contribute to society. “…if you can bring them in and make them feel a part of it… you will reap the benefits of that… they are a great human. They contribute to society,” Amy affirms. Sharing these moments in business with our children become a source of mutual growth and connection, and showing that success can be done together.
- Setting Boundaries: There is a critical balance between setting boundaries and being present with our children. This is especially true for us mompreneurs. It’s easy to get caught up in our work and spend time working rather than spending quality time with our kids – but the work-life balance is so important. Integrating passions with our family life, and setting boundaries with work & family can help keep that balance.
The Power of Failure and The Lessons It Brings
When we think of failure, it’s usually associated with negative feelings and a sense of fear. But, Amy’s perspective on failure is completely positive, and shares how these experiences of failure are invaluable lessons that help us learn and grow. Failure isn’t the opposite of success, but an essential part of it.
“…failure is really where you should be celebrating because failure is your biggest teacher. And if you don’t teach your kids that when they fail, it’s a good thing, they can learn from it…”
And, by openly sharing these challenging times and failures with our children we teach them resilience, and learn that failure is something that guides us towards growth.
Failure isn’t a roadblock; it’s a stepping stone.
