Since starting my business in 2017, I’ve always created content centered around “how to work from home in the summer with kids”. But this summer, the situation is more dire. 

In these strange times, I have noticed two approaches that business owners that have children are taking:

1. Taking a step back and saying, “I’m just gonna come back to this later”.
2. Take no prisoners – “I’m gonna keep going as if nothing else is happening in the world because anything less than my 150% effort into this business is failure”.

Both of these approaches are rooted in PERFECTIONISM which is being used as a coping mechanism to avoid negative feelings. But this is not the time for perfectionism. 

There is a third approach that you can do to pursue business growth with your kids at home for the summer or the foreseeable future – healthy striving.

In this episode, I discuss three practical strategies you can use to embrace healthy striving in your home with your kids this summer. These are:

• Embracing prioritization.
• Creating mental boundaries.
• Incorporating more rest.
