H.E.R Show

We would like to thank SMU Alumni for inviting our Founder Renee Tan for a weekend sharing at the SMUAA Mumpreneur Webinar. Renee shared about her advise to new entrepreneurs who are mothers, here are her 2 cents of the session:

1. Plan your milestones with timeline and targets and work towards them. Have your plan A, B & C if things don't work out. Never wait out, assume things will just pen out itself and take your own sweet time to achieve something.

2. Never perceive doing business as being an easier option to working for others. There are more challenges and headaches. However, if you choose this route and when you face difficulties, do remind yourself that the plane takes off against the wind, not with it.

3. Time is limited & hesitation is a killer as you won't know what happens tomorrow. So, if not now when? If not you, who? There's no perfect time for everything, as the stars will never be aligned and the traffic lights around the world will never turn green at the same time. (I realised that when I lost a loved one)

4. We can never be the perfect mums. Not the ideal housewives either. Time is precious and prioritisation is key. Be calculative with your time. Outsource work that's time-consuming and not crucial.

5. Always communicate your status and plans with your important stakeholders (family members), so they know what you are up to and understand how they could accommodate with your plans.

6. Time segmentation is important. There's time for something, you just have to make time for it. It's easier to spend 24-7 on just work. But if you have family or loved ones who yearn to spend time with you, you would need to take time off. After all, they are your real backers! Come back to work when everyone's asleep. Peace! 😉
