I've had a few stay-at-home parents message me about balancing the demands of parenthood and entrepreneurship so here's a sample week. Warning it's long & rather "normal", if you bore easily you might want to scroll on by!

-Get up at 5:00 am - scan emails, answer facebook questions, personal messages, post product finds for our VA Mastermind Groups, check in with EPS business partners & VAs.
-Little one is up at 7am - family breakfast time, getting ready for preschool. Husband drops her off on his way to work (he's a self employed auto body shop owner).
-8:30-11:00 am finish left over work, sourcing, placing orders from the VA lists, ship any eBay orders (I only ship on M, W, F), create a PZP shipment sneak in a quick workout- whatever needs to be done for the day
-11:30am - pickup our daughter & have lunch
-Get her started on an activity to finish anything I have left over
- Afternoon until daddy gets home at 5:30 pm or so is spend multi-tasking, keeping her busy, taking care of the house, etc.
