Successfully mixing the daily schedule and responsibilities of a home-based entrepreneur with raising a family entails energy and precise organizational skills. This weeks #HandmadeChat addressed how to blend parenthood with entrepreneurship and achieve positive results.
Here are some hi-lights from the discussion:
@bathbodyacademy HOW CAN YOU LEVERAGE YOUR CHILD’S NAP SCHEDULE TO GET MORE WORK DONE?
- @bathbodyacademy Schedule tasks to be done during nap time. If there’s no plan, the time will slip away too easily.
- @bathbodyacademy Work in ‘chunks’ -write 1 week’s blog posts in 1 sitting instead of many tasks that use different parts of your brain.
@bathbodyacademy: WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING PART OF BEING A MOM ENTREPRENEUR?
- @bathbodyacademy: Satisfaction that I’m making difference in the world while setting an example for my kids, making money all at once!
- @INDIEbusiness: Enjoying life, setting a good example for my kids. The fruits of combining passion and labor.
This was a helpful discussion for parent-preneurs, with insights into time management that were also valuable to those (such as myself) that do not have young children under-foot. A full chat transcript is located here.
The facilitator of this chat was Alyssa Middleton, owner of Bath and Body Academy, where she offers entrepreneur coaching and consulting services, and products at Vintage Body Spa.
Thank you Alyssa! And hat’s off to the many work at home parents around the world!
Don’t forget to join us next week on the Indie Business #HandmadeChat on Thursday, 8pm EST. I will be the co-host, leading a discussion on “Organizing Your Day For Maximum Productivity.”
