Busy Moms Building: 12 Steps to Online Business for Busy Moms

That's what I'm going to tell you.

I'm going to show you how to develop a business idea and turn it into a viable business in just 12 easy to follow steps. And, you are going to do it while still having time for your family!

Three years ago, I was sitting on my couch, stress-crying and googling the same darn things you are. I was a corporate chick in marketing for nearly a decade, but after I had my daughter, it wasn’t fulfilling and it left me feeling frustrated and empty.

I wasn’t doing a good job at any of my roles, work or personal. When I took life by the horns and did the work to start steering it in the direction that made sense for me and my family, everything fell into place. (I mean, I still have like five loads of laundry to do at any given time, but whatever.)

There was a part of me that wanted to throw in the towel, but it wasn’t feasible because we relied on my paycheck.

I needed to do something to get out of the funk I was in, so I started blogging.

I would never have thought the decision to start telling my story would lead me to where I am today.

I struggled with guilt over not being happy with my career. I had a good job that provided well for my family, but inside I felt a mess. I knew I wasn't being the best version of myself.

I worried about what my family would think or my friends would say when I voluntarily quit my job to work online.

Would they think I'm crazy? Would they accuse me of being selfish?

When I'm asked now what I do, my response is always: I work when I want, how I want, and with the people I love!

My mission behind creating Busy Moms Building is to provide a blueprint for other women who crave the flexibility that building your own online business can bring! Now you can stop worrying about HOW to get started because Busy Moms Building shows you how in just 12 steps!

You don't have to feel guilty about leaving your career behind, disappointing your family, or taking time away from the kids to pursue your passion.

Busy Moms Building gives you 12 actionable steps to create a solid foundation to move forward in your endeavor to work from home!

When you’re done, you will have a viable action plan tailored for you.

Most steps can be completed in about an hour’s time, including the worksheets and assignments. (And some of the lessons don’t even take that long!) If you can find a few hours a week to commit to creating your plan, you will be ready to launch in less than six weeks!

That’s half a trimester, sister! You can do this!

"Busy Moms Building is a treasure trove of resources and things to consider if you want to start your own online business.

As a beginner getting the lay of the land, I appreciate Monica’s how-to instructions and honest reviews of various tools, service providers, classes, and resources. She helps you understand what caught her up when she started, so you have a framework for making your own decisions and avoiding potential time sucks and pitfalls.

It’s definitely the kind of thing I will keep handy to reference as I’m getting started. I even learned something about Google’s search algorithm updates that my digital agency at my corporate job hasn’t told me yet! Bottom line: Monica breaks things down so starting a business feels less intimidating.

If you’ve wanted to start something, but don’t know where to begin, Busy Moms Building is your answer."

~CLARA MILLER, Marketing Manager and Working Mom

Stefanie was part of a group coaching program I ran in early 2017. Over 4 weeks, I walked 12 women through the entire Busy Moms Building course.

On her biggest takeaway...

"My "ah ha" happened when I found a niche that fuels my fire. I narrowed my niche using the worksheets and videos provided in the course to easily envision my avatar reader."

On the most useful part of the program...

"The 1:1 call was my favorite and most useful part of the program. I was so overwhelmed and confused before the call. After my 1:1 call with Monica, I was so excited to write out my detailed action plan and implement all of Monica's wonderful advice."

On her overall experience with Busy Moms Building...

"I never felt as understood as when I joined Busy Moms Building. Facebook groups can only get you so far with people in your industry. The live videos were exactly the experience I needed to learn and feel comfortable with my position in the blog-o-sphere. I am so sad to have it end but so glad to have made these new relationships that will last well past this course. Thank you!"

If you’re ready to make the leap, or trying to decide if you should, this book is for you!"

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi! I'm Monica, a mom, wife, blogger, and entrepreneur. I have an MBA degree in finance and marketing and blog at Redefining Mom, a site for empowering working moms.

"Busy Moms Building has helped me beyond belief in the world of online business.

I have never owned my own business, but have always had the desire to do so. When I found Monica's website it was like I had hit the jackpot. She has things logical and laid them out in a way that anyone can understand.

She gives detailed instruction and tips on how to navigate this online world. Her honesty about products and services is refreshing in this crowded online space. I'm so beyond happy to have found her book and used it as the building blocks to building my own online business. This book is definitely something I will be recommending to any mom thinking of becoming an entrepreneur.

Busy Moms Building is the answer to all of those questions you have been asking yourself and more."

"Busy Moms Building really helped me concentrate on starting my blog and gave me the needed technical knowledge to feel comfortable taking those next steps. Monica was great at making a video on a subject or program if we did not understand it so that we could better understand how it worked.

I was abe to get more focused and started to understand the back side of how to run a blog.

Thanks so much for helping me start my blog in a way that was not intimidating and was nurturing. Thanks for taking the time to help all of us with our issues and being patient with those of us that were just starting out and not as quick to implement as the others. I felt that the course was well suited for all of our needs."
