Maegan Haney - Physical Therapist Assistant, Mom of 3, Wife Turned Mompreneur

This week I featured Maegan Haney on the Mompreneur Next Door interview platform, and I'm so
excited to share a little bit more about her here. This is the second interview I have done, and the outpouring of support and excitement around this platform has been incredible! I remember when I was thinking about starting a business and not knowing what to do, who to talk to, where to turn. I knew I wanted to be with my kids and make money, but from there I had no direction. If you feel similarly, Mompreneur Next Door is for you, and hopefully some of you will resonate with Maegan's story this week and past and future ones of other moms who may be just like you, and how they managed to build a business alongside motherhood and family life.

Maegan was a mom of 2 and a Physical Therapist Assistant by trade when she started her Mompreneur business and for her, it was all about options to have time and financial freedom. As she said, "I've never been a fan of having to work 'x' amount before qualifying to take a vacation! Kids grow fast and I didn't want to miss this fleeting time with mine because I was climbing the proverbial ladder." Anyone else feel similarly? Corporate constraints make it hard for many of us moms. The desire to have flexibility to be with our kids and still have the opportunity to make money is a common thread amongst the mompreneurs I have met.

The other question that many women wonder is how to pick the business they do. For Maegan, it was
all about the flexibility of the model. She found something that enabled her to work in purposeful nooks and crannies of a very busy life. She also loved that she does not have to carry inventory and has a fantastic team of incredible women supporting her. Lastly, it provided an opportunity for her to earn residual income so she could build future financial security as well.

For more of Maegan's interview, tune in to the video. Maegan not only shares more of her journey, but she also shares some of her greatest challenges including how she works from home while being there for her children She'll also tell you one of the biggest surprises she has found since being a mompreneur. You won't want to miss what she has to say! Maegan would welcome any conversations to learn more about her and her business. Like our Facebook page to find past interviews and blog posts as well.

Do You Believe In You?

Do you believe in you? This is a tough question. As moms, we continuously encourage our kids to do and be their best and believe that they can do whatever they want. But we are not great at modeling this. Think about it. Would you speak to your best friend the way you speak to yourself? What would you say to someone who spoke to your children using those words? Ever since I was young, my parents lifted me up - each and every day. They told me that I could do and be whatever I wanted, and I believed them. After years of being a mom while working in corporate America, I was starting to lose that belief in myself. Was it possible to do it all, have it all? For me this meant flexibility to be the mom I wanted to be in an intellectually-stimulating environment with continuous growth potential in a supportive environment. Was this possible? I didn't want to give up hope because if I was looking for this, I was guessing that other moms were, too. There had to be something out there for me...

Hey, Mom! Has Anyone Told You You're Doing A Great Job?

I was recently traveling alone with my three kids, and since they're tween/teens, this does not seem like such a Herculean effort as it did a few years ago. As we were exiting the shuttle from the rental car place to the airport, a guy looked at me and said "Hey, Mom! Has anyone told you lately you're doing a great job?" My face lit up, I felt a huge glow inside and thanked him profusely. He may as well have told me I had won the lottery.😁 This got me to thinking, why was this such a big deal? Probably for the one truth that most moms I know live. We think we suck at this parenting thing every single day. We beat ourselves up for every little thing. We read social media and play the compare game. We are not enough insert whatever crapola thing comes to our mind or is hot in the media at any given moment. And here's what the truth looks like. Most of us are doing a pretty amazing job. Our kids are loved, fed, clothed and housed. They feel secure enough to ha...

Want To Be A Present Mom But Your Job Is Getting In The Way?

Imagine this - you have two small children, a full-time job you love, but it's intense. There are a lot of early mornings, late nights, and missed moments with your kids. Then you're lucky enough to have your boss let you go part time. You may make less money, but it's relatively flexible, you have more time to be the present mom and wife you want to be, and things are going pretty well. Then one day all of that changes. Your company is no longer going to offer part-time, flexible positions. You have the option to either work full time or say good bye to the career you have built for the past 23 years. That's exactly what happened to Christy Kelly and what happens to many women once they have children. She had worked full time in the dental field and had recently moved to part time, which apart from the lower pay had been wonderful for her and her family. Luckily for Christy, she had her eyes open to other opportunities and had started a Plan B that soon became her P...
