We're dedicating the month of May at MomBiz to discussing what it takes to grow your business. No matter which stage of business you're in, there is always an opportunity for growth. But every mom entrepreneur gets stuck at some point trying to figure out how to grow, which way to grow, and when to grow. There are times to figure things out for yourself, and then at some point, it's time for a mompreneur to hire a business coach to get the results she wants. On today's show I'll share the top 10 signs that it's time for you to hire a coach.

I've just returned from speaking at the Women In Biz Passion to Profit Conference in Toronto.

I recently read an article that showed some interesting research on the motivators that drive entrepreneurs to start their own companies. The findings may be surprising to some entrepreneurs, but they fit with the beliefs I have about why we mom entrepreneurs start our own businesses. I'll share my insights (and some highlights from my forthcoming book, Moms Mean Business, on the show today.

When I woke up and checked Facebook this morning, my feed was full of proud parents posting pictures of their beautiful babies. And while that isn't at all unusual, the fact that these parents are celebrating and raising awareness for children who are autistic does. As a mother, I thought I'd take a moment to consider and honor all those people in my life touched by Autism. Let's pause and think about how we can all be different learners. Join Lara Galloway, The Mom Biz Coach and co-founder of MomBiz.com, on Wednesdays at 10 am ET for her 15 minute "audio blog."

Today I'm going to grab a friend who is interested in podcasting, but has never tried it out. Whenever I meet someone who I think would be great at podcasting, I pretty much drive them nuts until they agree to start their own show. What holds most people up is the fear of not knowing how to do or what to talk about.  Join me today as I bring Sam White of Shakespeare in Detroit into the MomBizSolutions Show podcasting world, and see how easy it is to overcome a fear by grabbing the hand of someone who will mentor you through it.

Motivation can be a tricky thing. Even though you know that you should do something, and you have planned it, declared it, and committed to it, it can still be hard to find the drive needed to get it done. Things get in the way: FEAR is often the problem, not knowing how to do something is another obstacle, and even laziness can be a stumbling block to honoring your commitments. Sometimes, a mantra like "No excuses" can be just the kick in the pants you need to get moving. But other times, as I'll share in today's episode, the way to get things done is to grant yourself permission to do the least amount possible. Listen as I share the secret that might just make your big, scary goals possible.

Do you ever feel like you have 56 hours of work to get done in the next 24 hours? I swear, I sure do! Today is one of those days. And the natural tendency is to run around as fast as you can to try to get it all done, right? But that approach has a way of backfiring on you.

While listening to a colleague do a talk about how we mompreneurs often compare ourselves to each other (and then feel awful thinking we don't measure up), I started thinking about how we can make ourselves better. What does it take to become the best at what we do? How can we truly master a skill like speaking, coaching, blogging, creating powerful videos, making the things we sell for a living? Is the secret in studying and learning more? Or is it something else? On today's show, I'll give you an answer that may surprise you about the best way to go from good to great as a small business owner.
