How To Juggle Motherhood And Your Home Biz
I’m a big fan of these moms/businesswomen – especially as an employer. A number of my best contractors are women who have quit corporate jobs to set up their own freelance practices of writing, software developing, editing and graphic design.
I asked three of my contractors – Alice (with a 12-year-old), Julie (with a 5-year-old) and Sue (with an 18-month-old) – to share secrets for juggling both demanding jobs. And I’ve added a few of my own.
1. Take your e-mail and the Internet with you.
2. Set aside working hours.
3. Get away.
4. Be realistic about time commitments.
5. Take advantage of technology.
6. Bring your child into your world.
7. Network with other mothers.
8. Get child care backup.
