EP 173: Tips for finding balance as a parent in Direct Selling  (Direct Selling Accelerator Encore Edition!)

It’s time to get a little personal. I've often been asked by people in my circle and within my network how I manage my time as a mother, and wife, while building our business which involves frequent travel and long hours of our time.  Creating and keeping routine in our household amidst the ever-changing landscape of our business has been quite challenging.

I want to share six valuable tips I've learned over the years as both a parent and an entrepreneur. These tips will help you navigate the delicate balance between family and business.
