There is no difference between a woman wanting to become a mother and a woman wanting to become a business owner.
Not all women are meant to be mothers—and that’s okay.
A Different Kind of Calling
Ever since I was a little girl, my mind was filled with ideas. I was always thinking, imagining, and dreaming about adventure, travel, homes, design, architecture, and art. I loved drawing, painting, running, playing—anything that allowed me to create and explore.
As I grew older, nothing changed. Through elementary and high school, I sharpened my skills—running faster, building more, traveling alone. I thrived in independence. Looking back, I realize now that I was growing and thinking differently than many other girls my age.
Even now, in my 40s, that mindset hasn’t changed. From managing my family’s business as a teenager to becoming an independent real estate agent, and now stepping into creative writing, I’ve always followed my own path. The way I start things, how I intuitively know what to do—it’s the same instinct mothers describe when they talk about raising their children.
I’m not a mother myself, but I’ve watched many friends and family members become mothers. I’ve seen their worries, doubts, and fears, but I always tell them: “Trust me, it will come naturally to you.”
Not Every Woman is Meant to Be a Mother
Some of us are meant to live out a different kind of dream—to follow our passions, our visions, and create something that’s entirely our own. I never imagined a life with children or a traditional family. Instead, I envisioned a life where I worked for myself, where I built something from the ground up.
If you take a step back, you may realize that deep down, you’ve always known your true calling—you just have to put the pieces together.
The Mindset of a Mother & an Entrepreneur Are the Same
I’ve met women who always knew they wanted to get married and have children. That was their dream. And that’s beautiful. But for those of us who don’t fit into that mold, who question ourselves and wonder if we’re on the right path—this is for you.
If men can work and be fathers, why is it any different for women? Why is one role expected and the other questioned?
The truth is, the mindset of a mother and a business owner are incredibly similar.
What Motherhood & Entrepreneurship Have in Common
- A Deep Inner Calling – Just as some women feel a strong pull toward motherhood, others feel an undeniable passion for building something of their own. It’s a vision, a dream, something you just know you want.
- No One Knows What They’re Doing At First – Whether you’re starting a business or raising a child, you can read all the books, take all the courses, and prepare as much as possible, but nothing truly prepares you for the experience. You figure it out as you go.
- You Build, Nurture, and Adapt – A mother raises her child in her own unique way, just as a business owner builds their brand in a way that reflects their vision. No two mothers run their households the same way, just as no two entrepreneurs build their businesses identically.
- The Fear of the Unknown – Whether you’re carrying a child for nine months or developing a business plan, there’s always uncertainty. You have to trust yourself, build confidence, and learn along the way.
- It’s a Journey of Growth – The first year of motherhood is filled with learning, just like the first year of running a business. You adapt, face unexpected challenges, and figure things out as you go. By year two or three, you gain confidence—whether it’s expanding your family or scaling your business, the cycle continues.
To The Women Who Are Both Mothers & Business Owners
My hat goes off to you. Honestly. Whether you work full-time, run a business, or dedicate yourself to your household—you are leading in your own way. But if you’re balancing both? You’re a superhero. If you ever find the time—write a book! The world could learn from you.
Final Thoughts
Women, if you feel something pulling you toward a path—listen. That’s not fear, that’s your intuition. Whether you choose motherhood, entrepreneurship, or both, trust that you will figure it out. You always do.
