Starting a home business as a working mum (for the article)

Having had two kids I know how busy it can be to balance looking after growing kids and trying to set up a small business from home. With a growing family, it can be hard to attain the right balance between dividing time of family and work.

This is where the benefits of working from home appeal so much. It is the ideal situation to be able to have a job that can fit ad-hoc around family life, meaning you can deal with the needs of the family and dipping into your business when time allows.

Starting my own baby gifts business has been at times a steep learning curve and challenge but one I have no regrets at all taking on! Having had a background in marketing and have worked in a commercial environment for some large companies for the last 10 years I felt the time was right to go it alone.

The biggest challenge in setting up a home based baby gifts business is deciding on an idea that will work and be able to scale up as time allows. Having gained experience within many aspects of business in various different positions has helped to plan ...
... and understand the way to go and having some level of knowledge in most areas which is definitely a help.

Having decided on an idea (personalised baby gifts), it is extremely important to take the time to plan in as much detail as possible how the business will turn a profit within your time constraints. It is vital during the research stage to research in advance of starting the business to make a good solid business plan. There are many places on the internet to go for free advice as well as visiting your local job centre and business schools. I make sure to find the time to follow a great deal of related organisations, companies and other working mums on twitter, face book and blogs so that I keep on top of trending subjects and find out about relevant talks and events that are coming up that are useful as well.

If you spend the time up front in planning, and have a good niche subject without too much competition, and have a firm knowledge of online marketing - who knows what could happen. I have now found the perfect balance between a mum and business owner - and best of all - it fits around my life and provides a good standard of living.
