They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but I say watch me. 💪
I was looking at this quote today and it hit me hard. "If you don't think people can change, talk to somebody in recovery and have them tell you their life story."
Recovery isn't just about addiction. For those of us living with chronic conditions or disabilities, "recovery" is often a daily ritual. We wake up, we assess the pain or the fatigue, and we make a choice to recover our mindset. 🧠✨
Whether you are a healthy individual pushing for peak performance, or a disabled entrepreneur like me running a business from bed on the flare-up days, the principle is the same. Change is possible. Growth is necessary.
As a dadpreneur/mumpreneur, I want my kids to see that my condition doesn't define my capability—my growth does. In network marketing and direct sales, we talk a lot about financial freedom, but the real prize is who we become in the process. We are constantly working to become better listeners, better leaders, and better humans. 🤝🚀
To my fellow spoonies and disabled people: Your adaptability is your superpower.
To the entrepreneurs and hustle-grinders: Your health is your wealth, don't ignore it.
We are all in recovery from the person we used to be, striving to be the person we are meant to be. 🌱

"There was a time I almost lost my life to my health. But I'm not that person anymore. I’m healthier, stronger, and more alive than I ever knew I could be. This is what resilience looks like. Don't ever give up on yourself. 😃"

A Guide for Parents with Disabilities Launching Their Own Small Businesses
Launching a small business can feel like climbing a steep hill — and for parents with disabilities, the slope can seem even steeper. Yet, around the world, thousands of parents with mobility, sensory, or cognitive differences are creating successful, meaningful ventures that balance income, independence, and family life. The key isn’t perfection. It’s structure, support, and self-belief.
Running a business while parenting is a juggling act. Add in accessibility challenges, and that act can become a high-wire performance. The best entrepreneurs in this space plan around the realities of their daily rhythm — medical appointments, school runs, or rest breaks.
Tip: Structure your business model to match your body’s or environment’s energy curve. For example, schedule online meetings during your most alert times and automate administrative work for low-energy hours.
| Step | Action | Why It Matters |
| 1 | Define your core service or product | Simplicity helps you stay focused and scale sustainably |
| 2 | Identify assistive technologies you’ll need | They reduce strain and expand your productivity |
| 3 | Register your business with disability-inclusive programs | Some offer tax relief or startup stipends |
| 4 | Set clear working hours | Prevents burnout and builds family trust |
| 5 | Build an online presence early | Visibility builds credibility fast |
| 6 | Find accountability — a mentor, coach, or peer group | Support transforms ideas into momentum |
Running a business also means mastering leadership, strategy, and marketing — all skills that can be strengthened through formal study. If you’re considering deepening your business knowledge, check this out for options to pursue a master’s in business administration. A program like this can help you develop critical expertise in strategic planning, data-driven decisions, financial management, and leadership — without pausing your business dreams. Online formats make it possible to manage your studies alongside parenting and entrepreneurship.
Here’s a concise toolkit many non-US disabled parents rely on:
Even outside the U.S., many nations have microfinance programs and small business grants tailored to people with disabilities.
Q1: What’s the best business type for a parent with limited mobility?
A: Service-based online models work well — freelance design, tutoring, consulting, or eCommerce. They minimize physical strain and maximize flexibility.
Q2: How do I balance child care and entrepreneurship?
A: Use time-blocking techniques. Build work sprints around your child’s school or nap hours, and set boundaries with clients early.
Q3: Are there global organizations that support disabled entrepreneurs?
A: Yes — the International Labour Organization (ILO) and Disability:IN Global provide international frameworks and funding resources.
If you’re seeking accessible funding and advocacy resources, explore the Disability Rights Fund — a global initiative empowering entrepreneurs and activists with disabilities. They support inclusive economic participation and leadership development across multiple regions.
Starting a business as a parent with a disability isn’t about defying odds — it’s about designing a system that works for your life. With structure, digital accessibility, and global resources, small steps can lead to lasting independence. Remember: you’re not just creating a business. You’re building an ecosystem of confidence, autonomy, and example — one action at a time.
