1# You’re Tired of the One Income Struggle

If you’re a stay at home mum, you’re most likely living on a single income.

Whether you are with a partner or not, the reality is; you’re probably getting a bit less income than you would like.

If this is frustrating you. Then it’s probably time to get some qualifications.

Skills lead to opportunities. Opportunities lead to fewer money worries and more quality time with your kids in the long run.

2# You Realise That You’re Going to Have Some Free Time Soon.

Kids seem to grow up so fast.

6 months, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th birthday!

The realisation kicks in. Soon our babies will be in Daycare, Kindy, Prep, or School and we are going to have a few days spare to make the most of.

This is a good sign that you’re already thinking about the future, and you’re preparing for it.

My son happily heads off to Kindy as he knows mummy is going to school too. Leading by example really does start now.

3# You Know That You’re Going to Have to Get Back into The WorkForce Again.

You’re going to have time. You’re going to have the opportunity to create yourself (and your family) more income.

You’re going to be back in the workforce again.

But do you feel ready for it?

Do you feel that with your skills and qualifications you are going to be:

Happy with your job prospects

Able to compete with other candidates ( who haven’t been out of the workforce for a couple of years) who also want the job you are going for?

If the answer is no. Then that’s another strong sign you are ready to do something about the study.

4# You Feel Like It’s Time For a Transformation, To Find Yourself Again After Putting Family First For So Long.

Do you ever feel like you’ve been putting everyone else’s needs first for so long, that you’ve forgotten who “you” are?

That you’ve given so much of your time and attention that you’ve kinda lost a piece of yourself; parts of who you were before you were a mum?

As mums, there seems to come a time when we start searching for our “selves” again.
