A lot of fastlaners get started on their businesses at home - and many have families.

In fact, seems like a lot of fastlaners these days are either newly entering parenthood or expecting to shortly!! Peerless, JScott, GoldenEggs (right?), Who was it that is coming to BP that is expecting in March?, Bob, you are about to become a grandparent, right?

Anyway...

What are some of your tricks of the trade?

  • Work while the babies sleep.
  • Feed w/ one hand and type with the other.
  • Get the kids set up in the office.
  • Teach them from a very early age what "Mommy is on a Business Call" means.... (shhh)
  • Start showing them what you do, and why. (my kids could recite my sales pitch when they were 5, just because they had heard it so many times)
  • Learn to separate work life and family life by closing the door on work at a certain time each day. Otherwise, you will eventually burn out.
