Embroidery Question of the day: I would appreciate any tips on balancing home life, learning a business and starting one. I have several children still at home and am having trouble with balance. I seem to be lacking with one or the other. Answer: Running your business from your home can be tough at times, and creating a balance is much harder than it seems, but one thing that you must do is set boundaries. Your family must come first but in order to have a successful business you must also have certain rules set up and your family must abide by those rules. This is a problem that so many new business owners are faced with when they are first getting their business started from home and they do not know how to say NO or to set boundaries for those around them! Setting boundaries is absolutely a must for the health of your family life and your business life. Without certain “rules” and even physical divides in your home, your children assume that you are available for their every need, and even partners and friends can impose on your working day, causing frustration and tension for everyone involved. This is very hard on relationships. Set aside one room to create your own space if at all possible; one that you can close the door to the rest of the world. This is very important. If you cannot separate yourself from the family you cannot do your business justice, you will not be able to concentrate with all of the interruptions and you will not be able to grow your business. Running your business from home is entirely possible for the new business owner if you do set boundaries and stick to your rules. Your family will soon learn what the rules are and both you and your family will be happier at the end of the day!
