Motherhood +Entrepeneur Balance Tips for Busy Mompreneurs

by with No Comment Featured Moms

Most women find it very challenging managing their career , family and personal life. This is especially so if they try to fuse the two together turning them into a Mompreneur.
As a mompreneur it is ideal to work out of home as it enable you to differentiate between your personal issues and work life.
Working from home usually turns to overlap these two aspects on your life and it makes it quite difficult sometimes to balance which leaves you stressed out on daily basis.

It creates a ripple effect as you turn to take out your anger on your spouse or children which may not lead to the peaceful home successful Mompreneurs want to create.

Check out a couple of things you can do as a mompreneur to ensure balance in your work and motherhood duties.

1. Prioritze and organize your goals- You may have a thousand of things to do as a mother and entrepreneur every morning. It becomes another issue when you have so much to do but do not know what to start with leaving things undone at the end of the day.
Keep a to list or calender of things to acheive daily and this will keep you on track and measure progress

2.Socialize: Make your women’s hang out a priority. Constantly catch up with female friends who share in your goals and are equally mothers and entrepreneurs. There are a lot of opportunities in socializing and networking. Find out clubs or associations that are productive and are worth joining

3.Stay Healthy.- Dont starve yourself trying to get things done. Maintain a healthy diet  and engage in constant exercising. You can sign up to a gym class and get the opportunity of interacting with other mompreneurs. Your health is essential to keep in you shape to perform your duties as a mother, spouse and entrepeneur

4.Occasional Pamper –  Pamper yourself occasionally to do something relaxing or an activity that makes you happy. Occasional vacations is a MUST  DO for every successful Mompreneur

Living a Stress-free Mompreneur Life

by with No Comment Featured Moms

I came across an interesting video shared by a friend this morning and decided to write on this today.
Just some few lines from the video….

If I were a young woman now I am not sure I would cope…
With all the things you have, the opportunties, the technologies..
I would like to think it will be a world of pleasure…
But I fear instead it will only be a world of Pressure….

Pressure to be the perfect mother…..
The perfect wife….
The perfect friend…..
Pressure to be successful……A boss, a leader…

Lessons learnt from this video…

1.Never allow the pressure of this life to take a toll on your life.

2. Live one day at a time and savour every moment

3. Don’t complicate your life..make everything simple. Life is not a competition

3. Be able to let go and be proud to do so

4. Spend a lot of time being who you are and not doing

5.Some moments in life can never be relived..Live every stage of life to the fullest

6. Be you and BE GREAT

House chores, Busy mothers

by with No Comment Featured Moms

If you are a full time mother, especially one who is employed by an organization getting a grip on home management can be a very big challenge. It turns to look much convenient if you  own your own business as you allocate time to close and go to work.

There is always something to be done. Taking care of the family needs, laundry, cleaning, and undone chores that always keep staring at you in the face.

You may resort to outsourcing these chores to a house-help which sometimes may not be done, or done well if proper supervision is not given.
If kids are below 10 years, then its okay to get a helping hand its especially great if you can get a family member whom you well trust to assist you.

If the kids are old enough to help with some chores let the family work as a team and  allocate tasks to each member or work is left undone every day.

Begin by allocating very little tasks to the children to do on their own. When the task is given to the child let him or her know how important it is for that job to be done. When this is done the child begins taking pride in the task that he or she is now responsible for.

Tasks can also be shared across  the week so they do not pile up during the weekend leaving everyone grumpy and tired at the end of the day.

There are great schedules that have been shared online that mums can adopt to ensure some days are not over burdened with tasks

Trying to keep up with the household chores is not an easy task for anyone  but especially not for a working mother both a Mompreneur or an employed mum. Get a schedule, relax and involve your kids to make it worthwhile.

WeMompreneur Feature: Novan Consult Empowers Women

by with No Comment Featured Moms

I am Jennifer Esenam Asare, a wife, mother and social entrepreneur. I am the founder and director of Novan Consult, a social enterprise that engages young people and women through social advocacy, empowerment and networking programs. I am particularly concerned about human resource development but not in the conventional sense (as in recruiting and training people for organizations). I believe everyone made in the image of God is not dump or incapable. You just need to identify that thing that makes them unique. Help them develop that unique quality and they are able to exhibit their intelligence and be their best. Therefore I seek to harness this in every way possible for people to live an empowered meaningful life.

I have worked in diverse organisations for a total of seven years mostly as an administrator or in the administration department. I have also served as secretary and organizing secretary in some non-denominational youth groups and churches.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Public Administration, a first Degree in Philosophy and a Certificate in Youth Development Work all from the University of Ghana. I also hold a Certificate in Project Management from IDPM.

Novan Consult which is barely a year old, currently operates actively the Inspired Woman Conference and the Next Level Mentoring and Grooming Clinic for Women and Youth respectively. We have had two sessions of engagement for each wing and the response and patronage is encouraging. Participants in our programs have given feedback indicating their satisfaction.

An upcoming I’m Empowered session of the Inspired Woman Conference is looking forward to inspire and empower especially women to rise up to the task of being informed on legal matters that affects them one way or the other. Ignorance of the law, they say is no excuse. So we are bringing in experienced lawyers to talk, discuss and answer questions on legal matters bothering on MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, REMARRIAGE and WILL.

I believe that, it is not for the fun of it that the church ensures that, marriages conducted by the church is certified under the laws of the state. Even though marriage is a God idea and instituted by him according to the bible, the church cannot conduct marriage as a spiritual entity.

Just as Jesus paid taxes to the state, and his parents having to travel to participate in a census resulting in his birth in Bethlehem, there are laws in every society that governs its people. Hence, there are laws in Ghana governing our actions and inactions including Marriage, Remarriage, Divorce and Will among others.

Novan Consult seeks to equip people with the right information to help them make intelligent decisions on issues that affect their lives.

We shall therefore explore questions such as:

What are the legal implications of marriage?

What must one do /know when marrying someone with kids?

What is disclosure in marriage?

Are there legal rights /responsibilities?

At what point can one seek for divorce?

What is a WILL?

At what point should one make a WILL? And many more.

Mother’s Day Interview: Bayabs Enterprise

by with No Comment Featured Moms

Meet Yvonne Rashida Bakuri, the creator of Bayabs Enterprise

 It has been quite a journey for Yvonne– it wasn’t until her maternity that she discovered she had a passion for fashion and creative designing.  In our May feature Read her interview to learn more about her and her business Bayabs Enterprise.

How did you start your journey as a Mompreneur?
I was home on maternity and bored. At that time, I had made and worn an african print shoe with a matching clutch bag to a wedding and friends,  family and friends of friends were texting/contacting me to make some for them so I decided to indulge them and gradually that become a business.

What inspired you to take that path in business?
Friends and Family were and still are my inspiration.

A little bit about your company and what you do?
Bayabs Enterprise is the company. The brand Bayabs is a clothing and accessories brand that makes contemporary clothing and accessories with African print. The businesses started in April 2015.

 

A little background about yourself?

My name is Yvonne Rashida Bakuri. I’m a wife and a mother of 3. I hold a BSc. in Development planning from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. I’m also a resettlement expert. I am the creative behind Bayabs.

How you manage your day to day activities?
Listing down what I need to do and at what time I have to do it.

How are you able to balance taking care of your family and manage the business?

For me, Family comes first. I can only concentrate on work when my family has been taken care of. The kids leave for school and then I get to work. I don’t have help. So I need to be home before they get home. I try to do what I cannot do at home quickly before it’s time to get home. I plan with my head tailor on what needs to be done before getting home. I respond to emails and Whatsapp messages, take pictures, prepare orders for shipping /posting at home. When I cannot go to the post myself, i make arrangements for them to be picked up by a delivery company/person so delegating even though it is difficult for me, I have learnt to delegate more of my responsibilities with close supervision. I also have a very great support system. When my husband is in town, he helps a lot. My mom and siblings are especially helpful when I need them.

What are the challenges you face?
Cashflow: Like most small businesses, the money won’t stay. The bulk of the money you make goes into paying bills.
Balancing quality with growth. As we grow and we employ more hands, making sure employees pay attention to detail without having to micro manage that aspect is  a great challenge for me but I’m working hard towards my quality control.
Shipping/Delivery, when you do not control delivery, it is difficult especially with shipping outside the country. Delivery has not been too reliable so i have had to factor delivery periods into completing orders

Most Ghanaians not too trusting of online shops. I do not have a brick and mortar shop. I take orders via Whatsapp and through the website. Most of my clients are based outside the country. I realized Ghanaians resident in the country have issues shopping online. They do not trust the online system from my observation.
Power supply. Even though dumsor (erratic power outage) has ended, we still get occasional power outage.

What are the processes and systems that have helped you in your entrepreneurial journey?

To do lists! I try to write down the days work the previous night(Invoices i need to send out, emails and whatsapp messages I need to respond to, follow ups, fabric shopping or sorting, design and pattern cutting, shipping, calls to make, orders to fulfill on the website etc) Listing them down helps a lot.I rely on technology a lot and that has been very very helpful. Apps help a great deal. Those that help with scheduling social media posts, creating invoices on the go, having meetings through WhatsApp calls and skype videos etc.Delivery/Dispatchers are a welcome.Getting photographers for photoshoots.

Social media(social media ads) has helped with marketing my products to new customers since I do not have a brick and mortar shop.

These are processes, procedures and systems that have been very helpful to me.

9. Advise to any young one who wants to start a business.

Dream big. Don’t be shy to start small but be ready to sacrifice and WORK.  HARD!!!!

WeMompreneur Interview: HIREghana- Irene G. Addison

by with No Comment Featured Moms

We had the opportunity to interview Irene Gloria Addison of HIREghana and we learnt quite a lot of things from here concerning Human Resource Management. She seems to an expert in what she does and does it very well. Let’s read on as she shares her journey as a Mompreneur with us.

Tell us a bit about yourself?

Of course, I am a mom of plenty of boys and I am loving it!  And we are a multilingual & multicultural family.

I came to HR from Educational Project Management, where I started slowly getting more and more involved in HR & Recruitment over the years.

I started HIREghana (www.HIREgh.com) almost 3 years ago out of my strong belief that bringing the right candidates and the right organizations together, is what makes the difference in great organizations and also in delivery of successful projects.

I have always envisioned the Recruiter’s relationship with any Client as a strategic partnership (than just a plain Stakeholder) where we connect them to the genuine talent that will make their organizations outstanding and that’s what we do.

What does it take to be a successful working mum?

Definitely good planning of both your workweek and your weekend.

Disciplined kids make life easier; so does a supportive husband/ partner, family and neighbors.

And if possible leave your work issues there when you go home and keep home items from       interfering with your work- environment.

Basically, strike the right balance between motherhood and entrepreneurship please.

What led to your decision to become an entrepreneur?

Having worked in the Recruitment & Staffing industry, I knew that I could be nicer to candidates and I can really add value to employers: to the best of my knowledge, we are the only company that pre-screens candidates and only if qualified spends their CVs with their explicit permission to clients. We never engage in the art of ‘CV -Spamming’.

What are some of the challenges playing a dual role as a mother and entrepreneur?

Working long hours – I mean really long hours, including weekends.  So, I have learnt when it is time to do any family activity, that is the priority of the moment and it did never gets postponed.

I might never be the World’s best entrepreneur but I will be the World’s Greatest possible mother – that simple!

How much capital do I need to begin life as an entrepreneur?

As a philosophy, we are against raising capital – at least in most cases. If you can manage to operate with no borrowed money, you will be exposed to the full spectrum of all possible business risks and you will make the mistakes than no business school could ever teach you; so you get all this valuable lessons early in the life of your Start-up. When you ‘play’ with borrowed money, you become by ‘nature’ risk averse, and possibly end up postponing making several mistakes at a point in time where they are most costly. Please do remember that a big risk could also be a great opportunity)

We subscribe to the idea of organic sustainable growth. On purpose, our investment ‘seed’-capital was the Registrar’ fees to become a legal business and those needed to acquire a domain; originally we even used a free-hosting website before investing in a normal webhosting solution.

Our emphasis was placed not on finding money to finance our growth, but on finding the right intellectual capital, both in the people who work for us and in our candidates.
Our growth and success has been based on the classic word- of- mouth, a strong branding effort and the way we respectfully treat our customers and our candidates.

OK… let me summarize please:

  • Invest the time to develop a solid Business Plan, instead of eternally chasing capital.
  • Grow organically in a sustainable and scalable manner. Don’t get caught up in the ‘find financing’ rat-race please- run on your own ‘steam’ instead of running with all the restrictions coming with someone else’s money.
  • Love and face business risks – but prepare for them (risk management & contingency)

Practical Fact: You will face a lot of social bias and there is very limited & restricted capital/ funding for mother- entrepreneurs.

What are some of the challenges you faced starting your own business?

As any Start-up, we at HIREghana had to develop a lot of new relationships and work extremely hard to gain trust of our clients and candidates in the shortest possible time. We decided to differentiate ourselves not on price but on high quality and high impact recruitment. We prescreen all our candidates (usually twice) and we perform random employment and reference checks before we introduce any candidate to a client- we never blindly flood a client with CVs the way other competitors do.

Unfortunately, at least in West Africa (we have different experiences with European and East Africa companies) employers do not yet realize how expensive is to hire the cheapest recruiter or the cheapest employee; we should all aim at long-term strategies.

We also invest time (at our expense) in teaching the prescreened how to interview, something that seems not to be a common nor prevailing skill in Africa – at least in our experience. We even come across quite frequently of highly educated and experienced professionals who lack those skills. Maybe that was the past, but why the majority of new graduates, can’t write e CV or lack interview skills?  What do the people in the University Career Placement offices do?

We once in a while get rejected by newcomer organizations because they wrongfully assume that we are not big enough to handle massive recruitment. We decided to keep our niche and remain a small (less than 15 employees) but high-impact recruiter.

Once in a while, we get faced with unethical situations (e.g. if you find a job for my nephew or myself, I will give you this recruitment assignment) but we always -as a matter of principle- walk out of it and we always walk tall !!!

Our focus –from Day 1- has always been in creating value for our Clients and our Candidates too.

How were you handling your life as a mother and a corporate lady if you have ever worked for someone?

Good communication and clear expectation between the employer and me, resolved all issues; also, I have been lucky to have employer- support which never take it as a given.

What has always been a grave open issue -according to my own experiences and humble observations-  is that both to- be- mothers and employers (including colleagues) are not prepared to address pregnancy and any related absence from the work floor (especially in the case of complicated pregnancies).

If we have internships, traineeships, etc., … then why we can’t have ‘momships’ (or even ‘fatherships’) to help an employee prepare to the parenthood transition and then smoothly come back to work?

Obviously if you are away for several weeks/ months and you keep no contact even for a few hours per week, you will return to a work environment that could be drastically different. Wouldn’t that make any returning mother feel awkward and influence her productivity?

Please tell us about what you do and how we can get in touch to patronize your products / services?

HIREghana (www.HIREgh.com) is a Leading Human Resource Management and   Recruitment Agency and a HR & Organizational Development Consultancy providing intelligent and high quality human resource- and recruitment- solutions to business and institutions in all parts of Ghana. HIREghanaprovides the full spectrum of Human Resource Solutions and Services.

  • help you find the right employee or perform various checks.

  • or help you with all sorts of HR matters if you are a Start-up or a SME.

You can contact us please at Clients@HIREgh.com or at +233 266 555 907 and +233 50 228 5155.

  • registering your CV with us (Word files only + please include a cover letter)
  • 1- on- 1 CV & Interview skills workshops
  • Career Counselling & Executive Coaching.

Final words of encouragement to any mother out there struggling with combining work and housekeeping.

Maybe it would sound too trivial, but I will strongly advise to talk to your partner or your family members (if you are a single mom) and even to your neighbors and explicitly explain to them what kind of help and support you need from them and why.  Don’t underestimate the kindness that people could exhibit if they understand why they are asked to do something to help you. Your partner should share all house-keeping chores – in 2017, you should not be coming home from work and having to cook, clean the house, feed the kids, while someone has launched themselves on the couch consuming colossal amount of fufu and beer while successfully watching TV or facebooking…  And once in a while your family & neighbors could help by watching after your children or getting things for you whenever they go to the market, etc.

And always have the grace and kindness to return / payback all that help, ideally by going the extra mile.  And remember… that extra mile, is never crowded! And it always pays off to drive there!

Finally, I am most thankful to God for blessing me with extremely supportive family, friends, neighbors, associates / employees, partners, clients and candidates too.

Thank you,

Irene

by with No Comment Featured Moms

Our Mompreneur Special Guest feature for International Womens Day is Matilda Serwaa Frimpong neé Sarkodie. She is a Logistician , wife , mother of two and manager of a restaurant  . She is a proud product of Holy child school cape coast and KNUST Business school alumni . She loves music , loves traveling and is a huge lover of foods .
Enjoy as she shares her Entrepreneur Journey with WeMompreneurs……………..

I started Fruggies granola as a result of search to find healthy yummy snack to back my healthy lifestyle after the birth of my first son . So I researched and boom 💥!!! I love oats , I love nuts and seeds then GRANOLA here we go . I never decided or thought of building an empire from granola . I got my inspiration from my lecturer on campus whom I gave a bottle to him and his wife on Val’s day when i was in the university. Then he kept asking me “Tilly when is fruggies granola hitting the markets ? You must consider selling this to folks who want to keep snacking healthy ” . So I told my husband who was already and still a fan of fruggies granola ! He gave and still gives me 100% support and invested in the business . Then we started 3 years ago .

At Palmat Fruggies Enterprise , we are a small batch homemade granola . Our granola is made of oats , nuts like cashews and almonds , coconuts and other healthy seeds with spices and syrups ! We are located in Kumasi but have suppliers in Accra , Tema, Kumasi  and make nationwide deliveries always . Officially I have one staff who is Very helpful ! But my husband is unofficially the quality control manager . He just love testing every batch ! You already know why ! *winks* we are the best no doubt ! We hope to employ more ladies and gentlemen on board very soon .

My typical day begins with God first then preparing the family for school and work.  I get into our mini kitchen or factory by 8 am with my assistant and begin mixing our batches of granola . By 11 am , I am off to the restaurant to make sure things are in place.  By 5 pm off to pick my toddler from school . Then mid week service  at church will be attended if any . If not , family time 😊.  As a wife , mother and also a worker else where , balancing is a huge issue . I need more than 24 hours in a day . Haha ! But on a serious note to be a super woman , you need to ask for help sometimes ! So I do ask for help when I need it !  Human resource is key to every successful business too ! It may sound cliche but trust me
that is it . That makes balancing good for me .

Some few challenges : work space , finances and human resource ! I pray to get a bigger space God willing but that comes with money haha ! I pray government gives more attention to small business owned by women especially mompreneurs.  What has really helped in to get this far ? Consistently making sure we produce Quality Granola and make customers happily healthy by serving them with great Customer Service .

Any lady who wants to do a business this is my advice to you . ” Do not sell products ! Sell solutions ! And make sure you give nothing but the best ! Start small . Start where you are and You can be inspired but do not copy . Be consistent, I repeat, be consistent and be focused “Our email is palmatfruggies@yahoo.com

by with No Comment Featured Moms

It was a beautiful moment when Mothers in Business gathered on the 21st of February, 2018 for the first Mompreneurship Success Clinic organized by Founder of the Ghana Mompreneurs Club, Mrs. Ethel Adjorlolo Marfo.

The event brought together over 40 mothers in business who are passionate about growing and nurturing their business right. These mothers fall within various industries Fashion, hospitality, maintenance, IT, Business and Accounting, Film Production.

 

It was a nice gathering sharing ideas and experiences as well as having mothers share with us their business successes since the year began.

 

 

The topic for discussion at the clinic was cultivating a compelling business personality.
The Founder of the club shared some tips on how participants could use their personality to the advantage of their businesses

She shared some  tips on how to horn our personalities in this regard;
Participants were admonished by the founder to  have an inner peace in what they do. Having peace within enables one to relax, think and plan.
We also learnt that sharing our life’s  experiences is also a great way to sell and market our brand your brand. It could be an experience that led us to beginning the business, It could be another side of you that people do not know. It could also be a hobby or another passion you have aside your career or business.
In as much as every business would like to make money, we were advised to choose impact over the income. Leaving an impact indirectly would lead us to the income.
