However, for men and women who have young children in the house the job of finding time for your business can be even harder‌ but not impossible. In this article we’ll be giving you a handful of way that you can successfully build an income from home even if you have kids!
Tip #1 – Naptime! This one is pretty obvious, if you have small children in the house naptime just might be your favorite time of the day! Even if your kids don’t nap for that long it will still give you some child-free time to make calls, market online, answer emails or however else you market from home. Sometimes all you need is 15 or 20 minutes to get a good amount of work done, now obviously this shouldn’t be the only thing you do for your business all day but it’s a start. If you have any prospects to call back this is an especially good time to do that because talking on the phone is usually easier while the kids are asleep. Try to make the most out of your kids naptime by getting things ready to go while they are awake so that when they go down you can get right to work and get the most out of your time. That means getting the names and numbers of the people you need to call back, or just getting things organized in general. Tip #2 – Mommy/ Daddy Day Sending your children to have a special day with just mommy or daddy can be a great way to give the other parent time alone to work on their business. Most parents I know would LOVE to spend a day with their kids at the park, going to see a movie or hanging out at an amusement park. By scheduling these special trips every couple of weeks it will give you an entire uninterrupted day of work… and that can go REALLY far when you’re trying to build a business!
If you and your spouse are separated you might have set days when you know your children will be with their other parent… USE THAT TIME. If you’re still together it would be best to sit down with your spouse an work out a time when the other parent can have some one on one time with the kids therefore giving you lots of time to get things done at the house. This is also awesome for the child because they get to spend a fun day alone with mommy or daddy and those are memories they’ll have forever! Tip #3 – DVD’s Are Your FRIEND Now I’m not saying to let the T.V. parent your kids. However, there’s nothing wrong with allowing your kids to pick out a fun movie, pop some popcorn and sit them in front of the T.V. from time to time. Let me say it again, when you are trying to build a business… DVD’s are your FRIEND! Use them! Depending on the age and the attention span of your child that can give you anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half of pure uninterrupted work time and that will go a long way. Tip #4 – Crafts Kids LOVE to do arts and crafts. Even children who tend to be a little hyper will usually settle down to make something especially when they get to use their hands and be creative. Of course you’ll have to find the right crafts for the right age range but once you do it will not only give you some good work time but it will be fun for your kids as well. Keep in mind that if you have your kids
working in one room that might not be the best time to start making calls because there will probably be some supervising that needs to take place. It is a good time, however, to organize things or perhaps do different kinds of online marketing that you can stop and start at your leisure. Tip #5 - Early Bedtimes and Strategic Calling Our final tip is like naptime, it’s pretty obvious. Depending on what time your kids go to bed and what time zone you live in bedtime can be a GREAT time to catch up on calls and just get things done in general. Now I’m not telling you to send your kids to bed earlier than they normally go but, let’s say they go to bed at 8:00 PM. If you live in the Eastern time Zone that’s only 5:00 PM Pacific or 6:00 Mountain or 7:00 Central… THAT’S PRIME CALLING TIME! Remember when you’re making phone calls or doing marketing of any kind that you are not limited to your time zone just because it’s too late to make calls in one time zone doesn’t mean you might not be able to call people who live in another. Of course this rule does go both ways. You will need to be aware of what time it is in other time zones and make sure you’re not calling people where it is 3 hours later! If you organize yourself well throughout the day you should have everything organized and ready to go so that when the kids go to bed you will at least have a couple good hours of work time. I hope that these tips have been helpful in allowing you to find time to
work your home based business as much as possible while still being an awesome mom or dad. Also please remember that your kids are probably one of the main reasons you’re working your business anyway. The more time you spend in the early stages of your business building your income the more time you’ll be free to spend with them down the road for years to come!
