Working from home provides mums with many advantages, including flexibility and a way to top up the household income. However, managing a successful business and taking care of the children and home can be daunting. Here are some great ways to effectively create a productive working environment in your own home.

Find Your Space

Working amid the family chaos can be impossible. Not only will you find it difficult to organise your work but also constant interruptions are a major distraction. As well as losing focus, you will generate little business growth. Instead, find a space away from the daily routine of family life. Once you have chosen your workplace, maintain the area so you can fully focus on your business goals and achievements.

Overcome Techno Phobia

If you find it difficult to embrace technology, ensure you have the basics installed in your home. A reliable broadband package and good mobile signal are essential basics that will greatly benefit the day-to-day running of your business. Ensure you have the necessary computer programmes installed so you can effectively run your business offering from home: not only will this make life easier, it will help you deliver your work to a professional standard.

Office Address

If you do not want people to know you are based from home or you don’t want to promote your home address, using a virtual office or alternative address is useful. Utilising the services of a virtual office provider or PA will create a professional image and make your company seem much bigger than it actually is. This is a great way to instil trust in prospective customers and attract larger clients.

Arrange Reliable Childcare

If you have to work within normal business hours, ensure you have organised reliable childcare. This will not only give you the time required to manage your business but you will have peace of mind that your children are being cared for while you are working.

Be Organised

Being a successful mumpreneur is an additional responsibility to your roles as wife, mum, daughter, sister and friend. Maintaining an organised schedule is essential when you are trying to plan your working hours, time with clients, household duties and your family’s schedule. Having an effective diary for you and your family will save you time in the long-term as you will have everyone’s schedule on hand. Working from home can be an extremely enjoyable experience if you get the basics right. Start creating your home office and you will soon be reaping the benefits of being a happy, successful mumpreneur!
