When you have kids and you want a home business, you have a choice. You can battle with your kids every step of the way as they vie for your attention and make it problem for you to get anywhere with your business, or you can include them right from the get-go. All in all, the second option is the best one. When you look at your kids as a business asset, you increase your chances of succeeding with your home business. Read further to learn how.
Start by understanding that you are adding the home business to the life of your entire household. It should be viewed as a positive addition by all. Make up a schedule of your existing day and identify times in the day that you can devote to your home business without detracting from your home life. Look for areas of overlap when the activities your family normally participates in can be adjusted to include home business activities.
No matter how aged your kids are, you can devise particular home/family business related duties for each one. Think about this thoroughly in advance. Begin your home business adventure with a brainstorming meeting in which you explain your ideas for a home business and solicit input from all concerned. If there is a choice of businesses, you should begin with this. Once a business has been chosen, brainstorm on all the things that need to be done and allow kids to choose their duties. Understand that some of these duties may just be busy work, and sometimes the results will not be perfect. The point is inclusion, so be patient and appreciative of their efforts, even if you need to tweak a bit to make them usable.
For times when you really require time alone to work or to attend conferences or meetings, establish really exciting and interesting child care adventures for your kids. Avoid just dropping them off with a neighbor or leaving them with day care. If you are going to a conference, see if you can devise a field trip or day out for your kids that will add to their knowledge and help your business as well. Network with others in your home business niche to establish a sort of home school programs for all kids involved so that you can share child care and create unique, specialized activities for all of your kids that will help them learn and grow as contributors to your home business.
Be optimistic to designate plenty of specific, non-home business family time when you and your kids and spouse can simply enjoy being together and having fun. Remember that adding a home business to your family life will bring fun, adventure and improved income, but it will also bring stress. Remember to reward your family members and yourself for your combined efforts by enjoying family outings, vacations and down time.
