It’s May and it’s still snowing in Calgary! I planned a surprise birthday party for my sister last week and convinced my Dad to open the outdoor
pool early… well the surprise was a success and we went swimming despite the spring blizzard outside!
I’m hoping the weather will clear up soon as I have some May brides counting on outdoor weddings. Of course we have a back up plan but I’d love for them to have pretty spring outdoor weddings.
This weekend my in-laws are flying into town for my baby shower. I’m now 30 weeks pregnant, time sure does fly by doesn’t it?! I had a hilarious encounter with a woman that I think will make you laugh…
She said “Have you been nesting?”
My response: “Well, I nest a little differently than other women. I’ve been hiring new staff, getting my team really strong to run things while I’m on maternity leave, creating systems and processes, and focusing on bringing in income streams that don’t depend on me.”
Her response: “Oh… I just folded baby clothes a lot.”
Becoming a Mompreneur is definitely changing the way I do things.
I’ve nicknamed my little bundle “forced delegation.” But just imagine for a moment that you couldn’t do everything that you used to do for whatever the reason, what steps would you take to make sure your business still ran with less involvement from you. I think it’s a helpful exercise for any wedding planner to ponder as it will help you see how important it is to get everything out of your head and onto paper so you can delegate.
