I was recently interviewed by a reporter for a story she’s doing on what it means to balance motherhood with running a business. She’s looking for “tips” which really made me think hard about a bunch of things I’m dealing with both in my professional and personal life right now. I thought that I’d create something similar on playisthework.com and provide both mine and others ideas on the subject. Great little bite- sized pieces of information that taste sweet and give you some thoughts to chew on. Here’s the first installment.
The Schedule: Johnny (my husband) and I work together which means we really have to “work” (in every sense of the word) together both to get our kids out the door in the morning and to get our products on shelves. Because we have been operating the business since the twins were about 3, it’s really all they’ve ever known and they are Braincandy as much as we are. So in my idea of work/family-life business it’s pretty blended.
My tip: Engage your children early with what you do. They’ll ask amazing questions and will learn what it means to be passionate about work and the entity your building. I am the child of an entrepreneur (retail) as is my husband who grew up on a dairy farm. For both of us it’s instilled a strong sense of wanting to create from scratch and grow a business. If they are engaged, they’re less likely to complain when you can’t make it to a field trip or spend loads of time in the classroom. They understand what you’re working toward and I find with my kids, they tend to give me a little slack.
