14: Running a Business in The Summer With Kids Home

[Summer Business Prep Series] In Episode 14, I am talking about how to run your business in the summer with kids home. This pertains to working at a brick and mortar office or shop, or in your home office. What should the kids be doing? How can you balance fun summer activities with growing your business?

Kids thrive with clear expectations, routines, and boundaries. Typically in summer, we don’t have the most consistency, and it gets hard to find dedicated worktime and uninterrupted time with your clients.

In this three part series we will discuss summer goal setting and focus, how to set up summer office hours and expectations for family and clients, and how to keep your kids engaged and out of your hair while you work.
