Six Figures in School Hours: How to Run a Successful Business and Still Be a Good Parent - Paperback

by Kate Toon (Author)

A no-nonsense, humorous guide to creating a flourishing business - and you'll never feel like the worst parent in the world ever again.

Voted #1 by Australian online bookseller Booktopia, and #1 by the Big W discount department stores, this book appeals to busy parents who don't want to build a global empire or make a gazillion dollars a year. They just want to earn a decent income and have time to read their kids a bedtime story without having a meltdown in the process.

With almost 50 Amazon reviews and a 5* rating, it's not surprising that Six Figures in School Hours, also received the UK Business Book award in the work & life category.

Written with irreverent humor, in this non-nonsense guide you first examine your business goals, measure your 'why' against your desires for family life; then, discover passive income ideas and ways to involve the family in your business life in an enjoyable way; finally, you find out how to turn that six-figure profit dial up or down depending on the compromises you're willing to make.

Packed with actionable tips and helpful mindset shifts to really move your business forward, make serious money and not burn yourself to a frazzle in the process.

First book in the Six Figures series.
