Recrafting Chaos with Heather Logan
I help millenial mompreneurs to streamline their business and family life with simple systems so they can find clarity in the chaos.
Self-care doesn’t always have to be costly or consist of hours out of the house that you don’t have.
1. Make a playlist or have Alexa or Spotify curate something special for you and your kiddos to start the day off right with some dancing and laughing together. Plus, it makes for fantastic family memories.
2. A good meal can do wonders for your soul. You can have fun teaching your littles about healthy foods and feel accomplished creating something new and delicious.
3. Take a moment in the day to actively focus on what you’re grateful for. This could be on a walk, in the shower, or while you brew your coffee for the day.
4. Whether it’s around the block, in a nearby park, or nature trail, take a walk on your own or with family or your pet to get fresh air, vitamin D, and physical exercise.
5. Did you know that there are a ton of virtual tours for free and cheap that you can take of beautiful gardens, art galleries, historical landmarks, different countries, etc.? Enjoy the Escape.
6. This could be decluttering your workspace, your bathroom sink area, a bedroom drawer, etc. A quick declutter can help you feel accomplished and give you some mental clarity.
7. Whether it’s sending a long-distance friend a gift, letter, or text to let them know you’re thinking of them to making meals for the local homeless, doing something nice helps you create connections and feel a sense of purpose.
8. When was the last time you took a break from a screen? Put your phone, computer, and iPad away for at least one hour a day and disconnect to enjoy some reading, taking up a new hobby, or personal connection time with your loved ones.
9. Letting yourself get lost in a show or audiobook can help you destress and let go of the anxiety that’s been weighing on you.
10. Drink a cup of coffee and take a 20-minute nap (set an alarm). When your nap ends, you’ll have the caffeine kicking in and will have some newfound energy to keep pushing through the day. (Tip: Time this during your kids nap or quiet time so they have something to keep them busy for those 20 minutes.)

✋ Hold up! Let’s bust some myths about being a mom in business.
You’ve probably heard these misconceptions—and they’re flat-out WRONG. 👇
1. “You’re pursuing a hobby, not running a real business.” 💁♀️ Spoiler: Women in business are crushing it! These aren’t social activities or passion projects. We’re running multi-million dollar online businesses and impacting others along the way.
2. “Running your business from home means you have so much more free time.” 😅 Newsflash: It’s just as demanding, if not more. When you go into the office, you’re expected to do one thing your paid job. When you’re working from home, that visible separation between work and family doesn’t exist requiring you to expend a lot more energy and carefully time manage.
3. “You have to sacrifice valuable family time to succeed in business.” ⏰ Guess what? Balance and integration IS possible! You don’t have to burn out to find a way for it to all work the way you want it to.
4. “You are less professional and more of a liability.”🙄 Fact: Moms are the ultimate multi-taskers and are incredibly reliable because they have to be.
5. “You can’t let your personal life affect your business.” 🧡 Actually, this is what makes our businesses have such an incredible impact on others.
6. “Success will happen overnight if you do everything perfectly.”🤔 Reality: Success is a journey, not an instant result. It means something different to all of us. Perfection is not the goal.
Don’t let these common misconceptions dictate what you can and can’t do. You are capable of redefining success on your own terms. You don’t have to sacrifice what matters most to thrive in business. Let me show you how. 💪

🚨 When the path you’re on is leading you to burnout, it’s time to choose a new direction. 🚨

The unofficial start to summer is here and it’s coming in hot (at least here in Florida)! ☀️☀️☀️
Are you enjoying some beach time or getting ready for a big launch?? Or maybe just getting used to having the kids back home for the summer...has it ever been this loud?! 🤣🤣🤣
For me, it's been all of the above! School is out, we celebrated with a long Memorial Day Weekend at the beach and now I am prepping for all the launches!
I’m so excited to get into Summer mode with my family, see some AMAZING results from these launches, and get some much-needed sun-kissed skin for this homebody.
How about you? Tell me your summer plans below! 🏖️🌊
Merry Christmas from our family to yours! 🎄🎄🎄 Hope everyone had a day filled with love and laughter!
It's been a whirlwind! Became Mrs. Logan and cruised to the Virgin Islands for our Honeymoon. Excited to catch up with you all after this holiday week!
Where do you dream of traveling next?
Meeting your business goals and increasing your profitability can make those dreams a reality!
Now that the world is making big strides towards opening up again, it is time to clean up your data, tighten up those sales funnels, sharpen up that copy, and starting hitting those income goals.
Let's make Quarter 3 count today so we can start jet-setting tomorrow!
Are discovery calls keeping you down?
As someone who despises public speaking and talking about myself, the whole concept of a "discovery call" made my imposter syndrome scream "NOOO" and had me secretly wishing people would stop booking them.
But I can't say that's good for business 😂
So I did the only thing I had control over and I started to prep for them in a way that not only gave me the opportunity to learn about my client but gave me confidence in knowing that I actually had a place in their business.
Try these the next time your nerves take over when someone books a discovery call:
✨ Do Your Research
✨ Audit Your Client's Online Presence
✨ Assess How Your Services Align
✨ Understand the Ways You Fit Into Their Vision
Here's to landing many more discovery calls, showing them how you shine, and booking your ideal clients! 🙌🙌🙌
I consider myself extremely fortunate to enjoy my day-to-day work and the difference I get to make in my clients' businesses.
More importantly, I feel lucky that I LOVE working with my clients and admire the heck out of all the work they put in every day and the heart they throw into every aspect of their business.
Working with your ideal clients is a dream come true, but it can't just be about you.
Your client should feel like they are working with their ideal [insert job title here] too!
So how can you nurture your client relationships, give them an ideal experience working with you, and build a business partnership on mutual trust and respect? Here are a few ways to start:
👉 Take the time to know them, their business, and how you best fit into it all. You can't possibly know if you don't ask and it's painfully obvious when you don't care. If you want your client to believe in you, take a moment to be inspired, get invested in their mission and what they do, and show them how much you believe in them.
👉 Personalize your service. This doesn't mean showering them with gifts daily (as nice as that sounds), but simply going out of your way to anticipate your client's needs. Be intentional. Not only do you want to deliver what was promised, but putting that extra effort into your work to show them that they aren't just a revenue stream makes a world of a difference.
👉 Communicate. We all know how frustrating it can be when someone leaves you high and dry. Consistent and clear communication about expectations, roadblocks, and exciting ideas puts you on the same page and eliminates the guessing game on both ends. Communication is about trust. Without trust, there is little hope for a positive relationship.
I'd love to hear about how you offer an ideal experience for your clients.
Share with me in the comments the ways you nurture your client relationships and build an incomparable service for them.
Happy Mother's Day to all you fearless, loving, and inspiring mamas out there!🦸♀️
Whether you have human babies, fur babies, or play the role of mom for somebody in the world that needs you, I hope you have had the best day feeling loved and appreciated for all that you do every day of the year. 💐
I love my business and I have my kids to thank for how it came to be. Being able to now be there for them for every milestone, provide them with a comfortable and happy life, and inspire them daily to pursue their dreams through the creation of Engage Virtual Solutions feels amazing.
Cheers to all you boss moms out there for showing me it was possible.
Running your own business can be scary. Leaving the cookie cutter life of being an employee and trading time for money isn't the norm, but think of yourself as a pioneer paving the way for even more to make the jump.
This week I made a very big decision in my career leaving me anxious and nervous, but ultimately excited for what's to come. I did it scared and you should too.
Stop letting fear keep you from growing and making the life you deserve happen.
Choosing to fully dive into my business and commit to making this happen no matter what is the bravest thing I've done lately, what's yours?
Happy Spring to all you fearless, trail-blazing business owners out there!
Have you done any spring cleaning lately? 👀
Don't worry! I'm not checking on your closet...I'm looking out for your business!
It's extremely important that you stay on top of the daily tasks and systems that keep your business running smoothly. Periodically checking in on the big picture is just as important too. I encourage you to take some time to do some spring cleaning for your business to reassess and smash your goals even more.
Run through the following checklist to keep yourself fresh and clear on what your next steps are for your business.
✅ Organize that inbox and declutter that desktop!
If you've been putting off creating folders for your files and emails, today is the day! Set yourself up for success, by creating rules in your inbox to automatically file incoming emails to the appropriate folders.
✅ Update your website!
Have any new offerings? More testimonials? Plug-in updates? Changes in your availability or processes? Be sure to regularly keep your audience informed about how incredibly on top of it you are.
✅ Assess the results of your marketing strategy!
Have you evaluated how your marketing strategy has been helping or hurting your business? It's always important to reassess and freshen up those tactics if you want different results.
✅ Make sure your books are balanced!
Don't let those numbers get away from you. It's important to stay on top of your business' finances. You don't want to be caught running around trying to figure it all out when taxes are due or the numbers don't add up.
✅ Take another look at your business action plan!
Things change and they change often. Don't be afraid to go back and make changes to your business to-dos or add on more action items!
Happy Spring Cleaning my friends! ☺️
