Parenting and business can be a uniquely difficult combination. On the one hand, parenting requires a lot of time, energy, and focus. On the other hand, building a business can be all-consuming, leaving little room for anything else. This can create a real struggle for parents who are also entrepreneurs.
In this episode, Alyssa and Larry share their thoughts about parenting and business. They discuss the challenges they've faced in trying to balance both parenting and business responsibilities. They also offer some great tips for overcoming these challenges, like hiring a babysitter. If you're a parent who is also trying to build a business, this episode is definitely for you.
Today's Goals: Starts by getting organized and prioritizing your time. Make a schedule and stick to it as much as possible. Delegate tasks whenever possible so you're not trying to do everything yourself. And don't forget to make time for yourself! parenting is a lot of work, and it's important to take breaks whenever you can. When you find that elusive balance, parenting and business will both be a lot easier.
Episode Highlight:
02:23 - We've got our hands in quite a few different businesses and it requires a lot of time and even like this now, like you can't record anything with children within a five mile radius, because they're loud and needy.
04:31 - The way that we're able to get everything done is with our village. Like we really rely on them. So we have a regular babysitter that we call to help us, especially when we have events on the weekends.
05:21 - Everyday at their home, and that we're home with them. We try and make count, spend the day with them and kind of do the small things around the house that can be done but not so much work. But it's to the point where it's like they need to be in daycare, or else we can't pay our bills.
07:32 - If you can take someone else's kids and exchange, exchanged back and forth, do it, because you'll be so much more productive and so much less stressed.
