A Love Letter to Entrepreneurial Moms: You Don’t Have to Be Perfect to Be Successful
Written by: She Reigns Creative
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." - Marilyn Monroe
As a society, we have this odd obsession with appearances — shiny objects on the outside distracting from the real, raw internal stuff.
Why do we do it? This false pursuit of perfection is not practical (and can often be harmful). Isn’t real success feeling complete, happy, and whole from the inside out — both personally and professionally?
So, take these tips as gentle reminders that your goal is not to impress others, but to find your true self on your own unique, winding, beautifully chaotic journey.
Embrace Imperfection
Your first step to success is the biggest one: Give yourself permission to let go of the myth of perfection.
Your worth as an entrepreneur, friend, mother, partner, and beyond is not determined by how flawlessly you manage every aspect of your life — it’s about how you learn and grow from unexpected challenges.
Embrace the messy moments, the mistakes, and the times when you feel like you're barely keeping your head above water. These are not signs of failure — they're reminders that you're human.
Every twist and turn is a chance to contemplate and consider what changes you want to make going forward. The more experience you have with ups and downs, the more it will help you become a unique, well-rounded individual.
Prioritize Self-Care
Now, this one might be hard for the overachievers out there — but it’s so important to prioritize self-care without guilt.
It's not selfish to carve out time for yourself amidst the chaos of running a business, raising a family, and navigating life itself. In fact, it's essential for your well-being and your ability to show up fully for both your work and your loved ones.
Whether it's a quiet moment with a cup of tea, a walk in nature, or a bubble bath at the end of a long day, make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine. You’ll be surprised at how much more you can accomplish when you actually take a step back from time-to-time.
Seek Support and Community
This is a small statement that is actually a really big deal: You don't have to do it alone.
Reach out to other entrepreneurial moms for support and solidarity. Come up with a healthy, balanced game plan with your partner. Lean on and trust loved ones that want to help.
Having a community of like-minded individuals who understand your unique challenges can provide invaluable encouragement, advice, and perspective. And there’s tons of ways to connect! Networking events, online forums, or local meetups all can help you find people who lift you up and cheer you on.
Pay It Forward
Finally, don’t forget to pay it forward. Supporting other entrepreneurs in finding their own work-life balance is a selfless act that can cause a positive ripple effect.
Share your experiences, offer mentorship to those who are just starting out, and champion diversity and inclusion within the entrepreneurial community.
By lifting others up, you’re contributing to a more supportive and inclusive ecosystem.
Your Own Version of Success
So, to all of you go-getter entrepreneurial spirits, remember this: you are enough, just as you are.
Success is about embracing imperfection, finding joy in the journey, and lifting each other up along the way.
