5 Tips to Prepare Your Family for Entrepreneurship

Coordinate your schedules. Each week, sit down and coordinate your work/errand/family schedule with your husband’s, so there are no surprises.

Your marriage is a partnership; don’t try to do it all alone. Ask your husband for help with the housework and the children.

Carve out family time every weekend, so you can maintain a sense of balance, and your children and husband do no feel pushed aside.

Schedule quiet time during the day when the kids are home for the summer. Ask them to read or play quietly for an hour, letting you focus on work. Follow it with family time.

Let your children help. Helping you out in your business, even in very small ways, will encourage their support and understanding.
