Being an entrepreneur is a full-time job and then some. So is being a parent. Yet balancing the two of them isn't necessarily impossible. Here are some tips.

1. Balancing
Parenthood and
Entrepreneurship
By Adam Kidan

2. Prioritize
your
commitments
• It can be hard to figure out what you need to
prioritize when both work and family are
demanding your attention!
• You need to be realistic about what you can
accomplish, and not try to take on more work
than you can handle!
• Even if you’re busy, make sure you stay involved
with your child, keep a routine and always have
a back-up plan

3. Hack your time
• Various time hacks can help
with your work day, such as
cooking for two meals at once,
shopping online, doing things
in batches and having your dry
cleaning set to pick-up and
delivery!
• Removing these distractions
from your work allows you to
save far more time and get a
lot more done with the limited
time you have

4. Outsource/delegate
work
• Train your staff or hire
somebody who can take
your place when family
obligations get in the way
of attending important
events !
• Try online outsourcing,
getting a virtual
assistant, and even teach
your kids about how they
can help

5. Grow your “parent
network”
• Meeting other families through school, playgroups
and your neighborhood grows your “parent
network”!
• This allows you to meet interesting people you
wouldn’t otherwise meet, who could turn into
valuable contacts or even partners
