No matter how deep the desire is to be a successful woman entrepreneur, some of us may be far from that reality because of the unintentional self-sabotage we invite into our business each day.
If you have goals of being a successful woman in business but you are barely making any progress toward achieving those goals, it could very well be you are operating in a form of self-sabotage.
Lack of Focus
You may not realize it but you could possibly lack the focus needed to be an entrepreneur working for yourself. When you are not focused each day on getting the things done in your business that will earn you a profit, recognize you need to make a change.

Recently, I had the privilege and honor of being the guest speaker for the Women on the Move Teleconference founded by Stylicia Bowden, in which I spoke on the topic of Time Management and Business Productivity. I received such great feedback that I decided to write this blog post to share on the topic.
Early on into building my first business, I quickly learned how important it was to be organized with managing my time and I started a system for myself based on how quickly and effectively I needed to get things done, not only in my business but with my family as well. Because for me, at the end of the day, I’m mom first and the reason I made the choice to start a business was so that I could always be available to my family and for my children.

At the end of 2009 and after months of planning, I launched my second online business. Three weeks in, I’m excited to report my business goals for this month are being met and I’m on target to completing the rest of my goals for the quarter. Even though my business is brand new and only a month old, I’ve noticed how quickly it is growing compared to my first one.
As each week comes to an end, I take time to revisit my business building efforts and analyze the outcome. What I have discovered to be the reason for my immediate growth is, unlike my first business, I created a marketing plan. I designed a one year plan broken down into four parts, 90 days each. I included a brief summary of my business mission, my target market and my income goals on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis. Most importantly, I structured a schedule, determined to be disciplined and WENT TO WORK!

Using Social Media is one of the fastest growing, easiest ways to market your business online today. Implementing the various social media platforms available into your marketing strategies can be a great way to generate exposure to your business. Although many debate the benefit of using these tools because the amount of time spent to obtain the desired results, one platform I highly recommend is HootSuite.
What is HootSuite? It is a twitter platform that gives you the ability to use and monitor multiple twitter accounts and social profiles, track and view link stats, pre-schedule posts and status updates, view your tweets, mentions and direct messages all at once. It also has other great features like monitoring your Facebook Fan Pages, feed your RSS to your stream and allows you to track certain search terms.

Being an entrepreneur requires an individual to be passionate about what they do, be a self-starter and highly motivated. Another very important trait a work from home entrepreneur should possess is the ability to Manage Time, and the skill to do it wisely.
How well do you manage your time?
Many home based business women have a difficult time finding the balance between caring for the needs of her family and finding time for her business tasks. While most mompreneurs are great at multi-tasking, the challenges usually arise when there is no actual set plan of action.
