We only need to be creative and produce our very own success. Not try and steal it away from someone else. Sure we can watch and learn from those around us who are successful, and we should, but we don't need to attempt to overcome them.

We only need to find our creative vision of success and keep it steadfast in our minds, then set about process of making that vision happen. There are plenty of customers out there for our product, business or whatever. If we use our original creativity, sooner or later, they will find us!

We need to find our own way!

When we "create" our business with our very own set of skills, interests, etc., we are creating something of our very own that no one can take away. It is solely ours.

We need to take creative approach to business in order to make our own place in world of business a success.

We do not need to seek after anything that is possessed by someone else. We should be using our creativity to cause that which we want to be CREATED!

Don't be afraid to let your younger children sit in your lap while you are working. It helps them to feel wanted and it helps them to be a part of your daily life. There are times when it is okay for them to be sitting in your lap while you work, and at other times you need them out of your lap. Don't be afraid to tell them to get down and go play or read a book so that you can resume your work.

What about your older children and teens?

Explain to your older children that you do your work at home so that you can be near them when they need you. But also be sure they understand that you must do your work so that you will have money necessary to keep your house, feed family and to provide them with money for entertainment.

Once your children understand necessity of your work, then outline a work schedule and explain it to them. Do make sure they understand that emergencies are definitely an acceptable reason to interrupt your work.

This just in! Teens these days are *very* Internet savvy. Get them involved, particularly boys. Show them your new website. Ask them if they would be interested in helping out. Consider jobs they could do: search engine ranking research, ezine research, database management, and many others. Even consider "hiring" your teen. You'll have them involved, you'll get some time off, and now you'll have a true "family home business!"

In Conclusion

I hope these tips serve to help you in challenge of operating a successful home business.

My home business permits me to fulfill my financial obligations *AND* develop closer relationships at home. I would never contemplate trading my home business for a job. Even with added challenges of dealing with children while I work or getting my spouse on board, upsides far outweigh downsides.

Growing my own home business with children around has definitely given me a new respect for all people who successfully run a home business and make all home relationships work well. I tip my hat to you... You deserve it!
