As a lot of you myloters know.. I have an online business. I am in the process of creating yet another website. Between the two sites, my full time job, my three kids, and hubby... I just want to make sure I am not spreading myself too thin.
My Road2Freedom.ws site is doing really well. Now I am creating Winner Girls which is a information site geared towards woman but is for everyone to help them with all kinds of topics like relationships, money, health, etc...
I want to be able to give my children a great future. A home for them to live in, college, and the start to becoming great people with their own great family. So i want to work my butt of to create business that will stand the test of time and bring in money year after year.
The question is, can a woman have a successful business as well as a successful family? What are some tips and tools that we as women can us to make sure we can have it all???

Why would you wanna have it all?
Cmon no body realy has it all.
Having it all or having a lot comes with a lot of disadvantages you know,ask people that have been there,they will tell you.
Dont work yourself too hard ok,its not a do or die affair.
Now dont see this as an element of discouragement,just see it as another my.com response ok.
Happy mylotting my friend.

34momma I applaud your courage and yes I think you can have it
all as long as family always comes first not last. just a matter
of balance like what we diabetics do with our blood sugar and
our lives. Just remember where all your priorites lie and you
will thrive as you have that can do mentality it takes to
succeed on the web for sure. good luck and God bless

Thank you so much for the kind words Hatley. trust me i will always make sure my family comes first. my hubby and my children are now and will always be my number one. then my websites are next. I love my online business and yes it's slow and steady, but each new members is a new person to teach to do what i do. it allows them to make money which in turn makes me money.

dawnald... i think that is a rule everyone should live by. you can not give to everyone and everything if you are not giving to yourself first. i make sure i take some time for me every single day. Even if it's just a nice long bath, or sitting down ready a good book. i love my me time.

I think it is possible, but it is in no way easy. I think what you need to keep in mind is to keep your priorities straight so that your family always comes first, no matter what. And you also have to take care of yourself and your health, so that you have the strength to keep up with all your projects.
Good luck! You are very ambitious and I wish you all the best!

I am very ambitious puccagirl. and you are right it's not easy. what i have found is making sure i find the balance in my life. and always know that family comes first no matter what. but there are those times that i want to deal with one more then the other. but yes balance is the key

hello 34momma, you're really loves your kids so much, you can have success in both. but you have to spend more time for your children, when they grow up, all that they really want is you beside them to tell you the story of their victory or their broken heart, or their sadness. they need that more than the money. if you can guarantee that you have much time about your kids and really know them and their weakness, you can continue your job. but if you still see something that you didnt really know about your kids, i guess you have to stop to gain more money and prefer to be beside your kids. eventhough i'm only 24 years old girl, but i have experience like that with my mom. my mother beside me, is more important than money
