How to Succeed in a Home Business Even if you Have Kids

You've seen the ad in the magazines and online. I call her the Perfect Work-At-Home Person. She's a beautiful lady with perfect makeup and hairstyle. She's sitting at her computer in her home office and her two-year old is quietly playing with her toys on the floor.Or perhaps it's a picture of a man who's lounged by the pool laughing and talking on his cordless phone while his children are floating around in the pool.Let's pause for a reality check.As I type this, I'm holding an 18-month old who has barged into my office and demanded his favorite past-time: to sit on my lap while listening to iTunes. (Right now, we're listening to "How Long" by The Eagles and he's desperately trying to climb onto the keyboard to get my iPhone.)In fact, less than an hour ago, I had a phone call from a potential business partner who had to hold for a moment as I made sure that my oldest son had his phone charged and knew to be careful crossing the street to go to his friend's house.Of course, I could close the door. I could ask my wife to watch him for a bit while I take care of some business.And sometimes I do that. But, usually, I'm doing business or taking calls throughout the day while I'm enjoying being with my family.Welcome to the Home Office of the 21st Century Family: Where family is the top priority and we don't feel the need to pretend that our home office is a picture from a magazine. It Rosetta Stone Arabic wasn't always this way, though. I remember not too long ago, if the phone rang, I was shrieking at everyone to be quiet because I was "working". Or I spent huge swaths of time with the door to my office closed because I was "working".What a drag. What's the point in working at home if you have to pretend you're in a corporate environment? Or where everyone around you is stressed out because they feel like they're walking on eggshells.I suspect that most home-business entrepreneurs are living the same way and doing it for the same reason: fear.They're afraid that if someone hears a child in the background, it means they're not "professional". But the truth is that most of the people you talk to would love to be able to work from home and be with their loved ones every day. And this is especially true if you're in a business where showing people how to get out of the corporate environment is what you do.The truth is that working at home and being connected with your family is cool today. Today's best "power lunch" is when you're making money while slicing a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich for your kids. And the best suits to wear when doing business is a swimsuit.
