Summary

I’m sure all moms can agree that life turns fast pace when you become a mom. It’s hard to slow down when you are trying to keep up with your kids, your house, being a wife, just everyday life. Sometimes you have to slow it down a bit. Learn how to balance everything in life but especially time with family. Maria Ross, our guest on the show today is going to share with us some tidbits that she uses to balance between life and business. Maria is a brand strategist, author, actress, owner of Red Slice and speaker. She has received several praises for her book: “Branding Basics for Small Business”. And her second book called “Rebooting my Brain” is a really good read, especially if you have ever been through a health scare. She suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and this book is a memoir on her amazing recovery. Maria is an inspiration and this episode is definitely worth the listen! Maria shares with us: You have to slow down sometimes—not everything is going to be perfect The days are long but the years are short Go to a lactation specialist if you need help—there is nothing wrong with asking for a little help! Make sure to set work hours and then set time to spend time with family Don’t try to cram everything into a small amount of time—you won’t be 100% trust me Momentum comes to a screeching halt when you have kids—but the detox is actually good for business ideas! If you are going to be “selfish”, exercise is a great thing to be selfish about—show your kids that exercise is important Links Mentioned: www.redslice.com twitter: @redslice email: maria [at] red-slice[dot]com Learn more about your ad choices.
