Who wants to learn the same lesson twice? Forbes has a list of advice that works for parents and entrepreneurs alike.
Don’t lose sight of who you are.
The experience of owning and running a business can be all-consuming – and so too can having a child. But be careful; don’t relinquish all of your other passions in the process of raising your child or business.
Good manners are the cornerstone of happy families and profitable businesses.
Ambition is not evil, but disrespecting your customers, employees, or your mother and father is.
Having a great team makes your life easier.
It really does take a village to attend to all of your child’s needs – pediatricians, school teachers, babysitters, your partner, etc. You can’t micromanage how each person contributes to your child’s development, but you can assemble a great team that you trust to be an “expert†in their role. The same applies for growing your professional team.
