Here a video about how to run your home business around your kids.
A big part of my passion is to help more mothers be home with their kids.
Often when a mom starts a home business she gets overwhelmed and can not figure out how to fit it all in.
In this video I share how I did it over the last 11 years going from having little kids and bridging into having teenagers.

You nailed it again Lady!
Fabulous job articulating how our Why evolved. Cause for me too, my Why started out being to stay at home with my girl, and now that she’s grown I am proud to be an example for not just her but increasingly her friends too, about how to be successful without succumbing to someone else’s agenda.

Diane,
I love your presence on the camera! This information is right on! My daughter slides notes to me under the door when I’m on a call. It’s one of the ways she learned to write! Now my daughter likes to listen in on some of my conference calls and helps with the business. When she gets older I hope to take her to some live events. I think it’s so important to show our daughters how very powerful and successful women can be, outside of the predominant corporate structure!

Diane, I have days when I’m too tired, have too little time, too little resources, too little ideas, not enough….
And then I remember the alternative. I can’t tell you how many times I had a conversation with my kids and my husband too, would you rather me go get a job?
It’s taking me a little longer, and I know I would have been more productive and farther along, because I love what I do, and I could do it all the time.
But, I have also learned that too much of anything is not good either. I’ve learned that balance is very important. And that I learned because of my kids.
It’s a blessing. And I figured even if it takes me 5 years to get to where I want to be it’s worth the time and effort and energy. Thank you for reminding us of that!

Diane that was wonderful -we have so many similarities…My kids are still young 12, 9 and 7 so I am still using the hand signals -LOL…

This is one of the BEST messages ever. Thank You So much for making it Real for those moms who feel like there is never enough hours in the day!!! You are living proof that it can be done if the desire and will are strong enough.

Wow, Diane, you hit a HOMERUN with this one. It’s amazing the excuses that we can come up with as to why we can’t have a successful business & raise kids. Your tips are right on point & something that I will implement right now. Your comment about leaving a legacy was profound and gave me a chill. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and challenging me to look for “work arounds” so I can take care of my family & run a successful business without either one suffering from neglect.

Great video Diane I hear that I don’t have time so much it is crazy. You have to make time even if it is bits and pieces at a time. It all adds up. Just do it!
