  4. Celebrate your successes
    No matter how small, it's important to celebrate your successes. This will give you a sense of accomplishment and keep you motivated as you continue to work hard.

  5. Don't be afraid to ask for help
    Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Don't be afraid to ask for help from your support system or at work if you need it.

  6. Believe in yourself
    Finally, it's important to have confidence in yourself and your abilities. Believe that you can handle the challenges of being a single mother and working professional and that you are capable of achieving your goals.
