| SFISH: Working for corporate while helping working mummas with Carina O'Brien (Chat) | 03 Apr 2024 | 00:32:24 | |
Six Figures In School Hours Episode: So I live in a little bubble of small business, doing my thing at home in my bra and pants.
It has its own challenges, and sometimes the juggle feels impossible. But I cannot imagine how much harder it would be to have a real job. To have a 'career'. To get up each day and trek to my workplace in an outfit, dropping my kid off at childcare on the way, trying to seem professional and grown up after 2 hours of sleep with Weetabix on my blouse.
Today's guest knows how this feels, and has built an entire business around helping mums pursue their careers and manage their families as well.
I can't wait to hear her advice.

| SFISH: How to feel less parent guilt when working from home (Agony Aunt) | 21 Feb 2024 | 00:07:28 | |
Six Figures In School Hours Episode: As a fellow human trying to balance parenting and running a business, I know how hard it can be. This week I want to address your woes in another Agony Aunt episode. I asked members of the Misfit Entrepreneurs Facebook group what their biggest challenges were as business parents. And today I'll answer one from Bec Slack from CleverStuff. Bec's biggest challenge is: "When they were younger the feeling of guilt for using daycare when people thought working from home meant they should be with me (noone actually said it, but it was the feeling). Now they are older it's the guilt of being home and them asking to do something but I still have work to do. Mind you, their face when I can make an assembly to see them get an award or being able to attend book parade makes up for it. Juggling is tricky no matter what though. It's not just work Vs kids, it's work Vs kids Vs partner Vs mental health Vs social life Vs hobbies Vs sleep."

Six Figures In School Hours Episode: As you'll know from the book, I think understanding our money is one of the biggest factors in winning this whole Parenting and business battle. Second only to managing your time.
Because even the most highly productive humans can find themselves struggling financially. Put simply, if you're not able to overcome your money mindset issues and your financial illiteracy, you'll find it's amazingly easy to make no money at all.
So in this episode, I want to give you some practical advice on how to understand your finances, get clear on your budget and work out how much money you actually have.
As well as providing some invaluable tips on how to increase your profit and charge more for your products and services.
Sticking to a budget can be hard, especially if you're overestimating how much money you actually have, and if you're undercharging for your products and services.
Our guest today is an expert in money management who knows how to plug money leaks while juggling a family - and don't worry, I'll for sure ask if she's making six figures in school hours.

So I posted in the Misfit Entrepreneur group and I asked people what their challenges were about being a parent and a business owner. Today's advice is for Jessica Harder. Her biggest challenge is: "For me it's judging how much to share with clients. I obviously have to mention to clients that I work in the evenings, so they know I can't always respond during the day. But I had one prospective client turn me down because I mentioned I had kids, and they made it clear they felt I had too much on my plate to be able to dedicate time to their project."

Six Figures In School Hours Episode: One of the biggest struggles for business parents is an extreme lack of patience: we want it all now. We're fed a barrage of 'hustle culture' messages, seeing successful business types on social media promoting how you too can start earning millions today. But the reality rarely compares with the cold, hard truth: building success takes time. In my book, I go further into this, but today I wanted to talk to a successful business parent who began one that went into growing one business into five across four countries, and still finding time for their 3 kids.

We'd love to spend more time with our family. There's a whole section in my book on this. But often you'll find yourself working MORE hours, instead of less, putting up with difficult customers, and struggling to balance family time as you work out where home starts and work stops. Our guest today has only been running his own business for the last couple years and knows these struggles all too well.

Six Figures In School Hours Episode:
An interview with Erin Huckle So this week on the podcast, I wanted to do something a little bit different.
Some of you have been coming to my book launches around Australia, but obviously, some of you can't get to them.
We are having a virtual launch coming up, check my Facebook page, but I thought I would get someone to interview me and ask me some questions about the book, why I wrote it the process and just some top tips.
So I chose Erin Huckle from Chuckle Communications, who is my PR and profile-building human to do a little interview with me. I hope you enjoy it. Tune in to learn:

| SFISH: Shameless outsourcing and healthy boundaries with Anu Sawhney (Chat) | 05 Jul 2023 | 00:47:59 | |
Six Figures In School Hours Episode: Being a parent can feel like having a hundred different jobs. So many chores to do, keeping your small humans alive and don't get me started on the mental load - that birthday party present to buy, dentist appointments to book, and effing book day. When all that's done, there's precious little brain juice left for your business. So how do you create more time? You could outsource - if you have the money. You could insource - if your kids are capable, and you have the patience of a saint. You could buy a robovacuum to save a few precious minutes each day. My guest today is a master at knowing where she can afford to outsource and make some more time to spend with the family. She's a smart, business human who prides herself on having an ethical ecommerce store, a mum to two children under 10, and a love of things sparkly. In this episode, we'll delve into some parental stereotypes, discuss the expectations placed on older siblings, the evolution of parenting styles, and just how hard it is to be a business-owning parent.

These are shorter, snappier episodes to give you quick wins in your day. Today's episode is all about why I hate passion. People often say they want to start a business because they have an idea they're truly passionate about. When I hear this line, my eyes roll so far back into my head, I can see the goblin who controls my brain. Because I believe passion is the biggest business killer. 'If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.' Benjamin Franklin If you're thinking of starting a business because you're passionate about a particular project or industry, stop for a minute and think about it:
But you need to ask yourself: 'Can I love my idea for the long term?' Is it a one-night-stand business idea, or can you grow old together (or at least into middle age)? Listen to all tip episodes here Buy your copy of Six Figures in School Hours

Today's episode is all about telling your clients about your kids.
Ridiculously, letting your clients know you've actually produced a human seems like a bad thing. I see so many small-business-owning parents trying to hide their 'parentness' – trying to work 'normal hours', taking calls while their child is literally climbing all over them, or sneaking into the bathroom and covering themselves with a towel to drown out the noise of their kids.
But guess what? Your clients probably have small humans too. Tune in to hear my thoughts on setting expectations, realistic timelines, and workable work hours.

3. Full-on stress phase: I feel stressed most of the time, get snappy with my family, burst into tears, and find it hard to work through anything for longer than 20 minutes. 4. Burnout phase: This is when I've reached my limit and I'm obsessing over everything. The self-doubt is high, and I start to get headaches, tummy upsets, and a tight feeling in my chest. 5. Ongoing burnout: I know that if I start feeling this way and don't make change, I could sink into genuine depression, and my family and business life would start to suffer.

Today's episode is all about recognising the signs of burn out.
As business-owning parents, we're often so busy running about after everyone else that we find it hard to spot the signs that something isn't quite right.
Furthermore, we often dismiss these signs as 'just part of being a parent'. We're meant to be permanently exhausted, right? Drinking a bottle of wine every other night is 'normal'. And all parents are grumpy and snappy. Nope.
It's important to spot the signs of burnout early so you can (hopefully) head them off at the pass.

Today's episode is all about creating recurring income.
Nearly every business owner I speak to says their first goal is to 'replace the income' they had in their old job. And I get this. While we love the freedom and autonomy of working for ourselves, we miss the regular salary.
A steady, regular income allows us to feel safe and secure, creating predictability and leaving us knowing we've got our rent/mortgage payments and the basics covered. Here are a few forms of recurring income that have worked for my clients and for me.

| SFISH: Mindset, martyrdom and making the most of your time with Dale Beaumont (Chat) | 05 Apr 2023 | 00:50:23 | |
Six Figures In School Hours Episode: We all know the early years of being a business parent are an impossible struggle.
The late nights up with kids, the early mornings trying to build your business.
But what happens when your business is a success, your kids are teenagers and you want to shift gears and enjoy life a little more?
When you've been 'go go go' for a long time and told yourself the story that you're working hard for your kids, how do you know if now is the right time to stop, take stock and start enjoying life a little?
I'm talking to one of Australia's most successful entrepreneurs about the challenges of being a younger dad, working with his partner, powering through productivity and mastering his money.
But we also dig deeper into why many business-owning parents feel they're not good enough, push themselves too hard and fail to prioritise their health and well-being.
This is just a fabulous podcast episode with someone who I personally admire hugely. I think you're going to love it.

Makes them feel overwhelmed and demotivated. 3. Prompts them to focus on minor, unimportant tasks rather than the important chunky things that will move their business forward.

| Why I've rebranded to The Kate Toon Show | 22 Jul 2024 | 00:03:01 | |
Stepping outside of school hours Hello, lovely listeners. I want to let you know about a bit of a change. This podcast is now the Kate Toon Show. Yes, I've finally embraced having my own name in the title of my podcast. Why? Because I'm a huge, egotistical beast. No, the reality is with so many different brands and books and stories to tell, I needed an overarching name for the show that allowed me to talk about all the various bits and bobs. So what is the Kate Toon Show? Well, I'm here to help you build a successful, profitable, and enjoyable business using smart, creative, simple digital marketing and business tactics. Now, whether that's creating passive income streams, juggling your real life with your business life, being a misfit or passing on smart marketing tips, I'm here to help. In this next series, we'll be talking more about Six Figures While You Sleep, how to create automated digital passive income products, such as courses, memberships, masterminds, and digital downloads. But I also want to be able to talk about all the other things I love. We can talk about whatever we want, but the whole goal of it is to show you different and interesting ways to build a brand that you love, that you're proud of, and that serves the life that you want to live. It may be slightly unconventional compared to other businessey typey, coachy, mentory people, but it's going to be my way and hopefully we'll have a giggle along the way. There'll still be guests, there'll still be tips. The Kate Toon Show is coming. Get your ear holes ready. Freebies:
