Is there a right way to handle client meetings when your kids are halfway through their bedtime routine?
Manage episode 496259057 series 3573042
“No client calls while the kids are awake” is your general rule, but….
This one time the sales call can’t be moved, and your preschoolers aren’t in bed yet (teeth brushed though!), leaving you uncertain how this call’s going to go on top of your ordinary “am I being a good mom if I block them out” worries.
(You know what the “good business owner” answer is - you take the call with everyone quiet in the background - but what you aren’t sure of is whether that’s doing a disservice to your kids!)
This is exactly the dilemma my client came to me with - ‘cause her kids were really young, and she had some set time zone work meetings she had to attend, which were all happening after supper but before bedtime - and she was feeling really guilty about it.
You know what I told her? (Not what you’re guessing!)
You’ve got this!
