Episode 54: The Secrets to Growing Your Business, Even with a House Full of Kids   We all know that being a work-at-home mom can be tricky. Finding the right balance is key.   Set your boundaries by time blocking: this is when you set out specific time for work, the kids and family. You’re setting out blocks of time for every day, knowing exactly how much time is in the block. Take time each Saturday or Sunday to plan your week. Know when you have to be with the kids, when you want family time and therefore when you have time to work.   This is something that I have recently been doing more of and getting better at thanks to Chelsi Jo’s podcast on systemizing your life which can be found here.   When you have your work time block make sure that you use it to its fullest. Silence notifications, put your phone aside, let your spouse know that they should only contact you if it is vital and then grab a snack before you get started. This will get better with practice.   When you have any block not related to work, give your children and family 100% of your time and attention. Your kids will become fulfilled and content, making it easier for you to work undistracted as they won’t constantly be bothering you.   Knowing that some days aren’t going to be as perfect as you hope is important. Your process will constantly evolve and improve, the most difficult task is to just get started! Once you’ve begun it will become much easier.   Let's connect!   Business Minded Mama Facebook Community   Instagram: @stephanieparenza
