007 Building business with kids, cats and babies
Think you can’t build a business while raising kids, juggling family life, or dealing with chaos at home? Think again. In this episode, we talk honestly about entrepreneurship with kids, babies, pets — and zero external support — and how you can still build, grow and scale.
What we cover:
Why “I’ll start when the kids are older” is a myth
Real talk on running a business with babies, toddlers & family pressures
How our kids impacted our business at each stage
Growing through pregnancy, newborn phases and sleepless nights
The truth about the ups, downs and guilt entrepreneurs don’t talk about
How to systemise, outsource and stay productive with a family
What daily routines and nights actually look like
When (and whether) it’s the “right time” to have kids
Our honest reflections on whether it’s worth it
Final thoughts for parents (and future parents) building businesses
