#53: Why October is Your Secret Advantage as a Mom Entrepreneur (Start Before the Holiday Chaos)

Stop putting your business goals on hold until January. In this episode, we're flipping the script on when you should actually start working toward your 2026 vision. Spoiler: it's not when the new year hits and you're exhausted from the holidays. It's right now, in October, when you still have breathing room before the chaos begins.

If you're a working mom building a business in the margins of your life, this conversation is for you. We're talking about why waiting for January is costing you more than you think, and how the next 90 days could completely transform how you show up in the new year.

By the end of this episode, you'll understand:

• Why 23% of New Year's resolutions fail within the first week (and why January is actually one of the hardest times to start)
• The psychological advantage of starting now instead of waiting for "perfect" timing
• How to use October and November as your testing ground so you hit January with momentum, not overwhelm
• Practical strategies for making progress in fragmented time (naptime, school hours, after bedtime)
• The real cost of postponing your goals - it's not just time, it's confidence and identity
• How to break down big goals into small actions that work with your actual mom life schedule
