My daughters are now 20 and 16, and not only did I become a much better time and business manager when I was raising them, but they have also learned the art of multi-tasking and creative problem-solving by observing how I "managed our lives" while they were growing up. <BR/>I started my own business five years ago (after 25+ years of corporate life) and now employ quite a few working mothers. We all know how to juggle, put out fires, quickly change direction, delegate, and "break up fights" and "heal skinned knees" (figuratively) in the workplace.theonswitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335912860060529313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866411440462287675.post-17321868692215683962008-07-03T20:56:00.000-07:002008-07-03T20:56:00.000-07:00Adrian,You are so right.

My wife, with five teenage children, decided to start a business.What was the business she started? a furniture manufacturing business. <BR/><BR/>I joined her a year later in the business and we sold out some 12 years later at a very handsome profit.<BR/><BR/>With very little help she initially supervised the men in welding, carpentary,upholstry as well as doing all the admin. and selling.<BR/><BR/>All this without an MBA or any previous experience!<BR/><BR/>As she always said "if I can raise 5 kids, then running a furniture factory is easy". She proved it.<BR/><BR/>Steve Coleman<BR/><BR/>www.businessmanagementbasics.comBMBStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074844008419037799noreply@blogger.com
