No such thing as a summer slow down

For those work at home moms who are very serious about running their business as a business, as opposed to as a hobby, (and NOTHING is wrong with having a hobby business, please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying)…there is no summer slow down for us. Our bills remain the same, so the money needs to continue to come in and this summer, I think my phone has been ringing more than it has in the winter & spring.
At times I envy those work at home moms who do see a bit of a summer slow down and are in the position to be able to experience that. While it is wonderful to work at home and have the flexibility of rearranging your schedule, the busier your business becomes, and depending on the nature of your business, that flexibility can move further away. As our businesses grow, many times the work hours may need to change. What started out for me as a mainly working at nite business, has come to the point of really needing to be available for much of the daytime – regular business hours. I am dealing with individuals and companies who have "regular" business hours so need to adjust my schedule to that. I’m still able to get alot of work done at night, as that is the easiest after the kids are in bed, but some business contacts and issues HAVE to be handled during regular working hours.
While summer may not be slowing down for my business, I do still make sure to take the time to enjoy the sunny days with my kids with a variety of activities. Still enjoying many of the benefits and reasons of wanting to be a work at home mom.
