There was once a very famous joke on the Internet: The country promotes two children; hospitals promote breast milk; experts do not advocate raising children across generations; society requires women to be financially independent; babies long for their mothers to accompany them at all times; husbands hope that their daughters-in-law will be as beautiful as flowers...

·The first comment that was liked was: The role of mother is so cruel!

This joke can indeed make everyone laugh, but it also truly reflects the many demands placed on mothers in today's era. Every working woman must have worried about how to balance family and work after having children. This is not your only worry.

, it is also the distress of mothers all over the world.

In response to similar issues, New York Times best-selling author Crystal Paine wrote the book "Money Making Mom" ??to encourage women to manage their time and resources wisely, explore their talents and passions, and use

Use your own skills and knowledge to make money, change, and be a better version of yourself.

Crystal Paine, the author of "Money Making Mom", is a famous speaker and career woman.

Her mission is to help modern independent women increase their income and further their passions and dreams.

1. The reason why you are you: Believe that you have the talent to make money. When it comes to the talent to make money, the first reaction of many mothers is: I have no talent, I am mediocre.

But the fact is that everyone is unique, and you have to keep trying and working hard to discover what value you can provide to the world.

Do you like to cook delicious food?

If you like it, you can make handmade biscuits, handmade cakes, etc. At the beginning, you can give it to colleagues, friends and neighbors to try for free. When others recognize the product, you will definitely get repeat customers.

Or, you can shoot food videos. Take a look at Li Ziqi, who has become very popular online in recent years, and chef Wang Gang. As long as your skills are good and your videos are beautiful, fans will always like you.

Do you like organizing?

If you like, you can contact the housekeeping company to do part-time work. The door-to-door time is scheduled in advance, the room is neat and clean, and the customer is satisfied, the housekeeping company will give you more orders.

Were you good at English in college?

If it's not bad, you can take the exam for an interpreting certificate.

There are many translation jobs available online. It will be difficult at first, and the pay may not be high, but as you slowly accumulate your personal brand, the benefits will get better and better.

You may say, I don’t know any of these, then you can think about it: What kind of help have your friends and family asked you to do?

What do you find easy for you to do?

This is like the concept of "one duck, three meals" that we often say. If you don't know how to cook the best duck, then divide the duck into three parts and eat them roasted, stewed, or roasted. Which one should you choose?

Whichever one tastes best will be cooked later.

Nothing will succeed the first time. Keep learning and trying, and you will always have the answer you want.

2. Take action: All you have to do is show up and do your best. Are you sure why you are doing it?

Only when we have determined the direction can we run hard.

When making food videos, I want to share food with everyone. Just like Li Ziqi’s food videos, they not only show everyone how to make food, but also popularize a lot of traditional knowledge.

I started doing housekeeping because I wanted to open a housekeeping company that would provide more full-time mothers with opportunities to earn money.

Imagine, if an investor wants to invest in your business now, can you give him a reason to convince him?

Are you sure what to do?

Once the direction is determined, an action plan must be arranged.

If you want to do design, then learn PS and other skills systematically, and read more popular advertising copy; if you want to make food videos, then learn PR, and analyze what kind of food videos fans like.

Don't think that you can do things well in one go. Internet celebrities who become famous overnight must have experienced days and nights that we cannot see.

Show up and do your best.

Fear and anxiety are definitely there, and our brains like familiar environments and things and don’t like change.

Don't think too much, don't let yourself get trapped in emotions, study instead of fear, read books instead of watching TV shows, all you have to do is do the things you do that day every day, do them as well as you can, and then everything will work out

Change.

3. Make money, but not just make money. If each of us writes down 5 wishes, 99% of the wishes can be realized with money, but there is always 1% that cannot be realized with money.

As mothers, we are born with meaning, and we should focus more on the impact we bring to our families and society.

An optimistic and positive mother who works hard to make money will promote the atmosphere of the family and set an example for her children to become better people.

"Money Making Mom" ??is by no means a "do what I succeeded" or "one size fits all" book, nor is it a book that teaches you to get rich overnight.

It just tells you how to find your passion and skills, how to balance work and life, and how to bring changes to yourself and your family.

You are a mother, but you are yourself. You are your only existence, and the world needs you.

May you be a force for change in the world.
