Happy Parent = Happy Family
Parenting isn’t an easy job. If someone tells you it is, they obviously aren’t a parent! As a parent, you may be involved in many things caring for the home, children, working outside of the home, and possibly volunteering. You may not have the time to care for your own needs, but it’s important that you do; a happy parent equals a happy family.
Take time out to pursue your own hobby or interest. Nearly every parenting book will espouse the need of parents to pursue some of their own interests to avoid burn-out. Perhaps you played a sport before becoming a parent. Being active will keep you healthy, show your children how to be healthy through activity, and increase endorphins in your body which will improve your mood.

How do we know what activities are time wasters and what are money making activities?
I knew you were going to ask so here’s a little evaluation or check system you can use to ensure you’re spending quality time building your business instead of wasting time on activities that are keeping your business at a standstill.
Basic Pottery Tools

The answer to this question could be yes and it could be no. Don’t you just love that clear cut answer?! Well let me explain why games and giveaways can benefit your business or how they can hurt your business.
The types of games we’re talking about here are the ones you play at your shows.
