I have come across some WAHMs who said their children were obstacles to their work, or something to that effect. Oh, Chris, I hadn’t meant you.

But I don't consider my kids to be obstacles to freelancing. They're the reason I'm freelancing! So I need to always remind myself to keep them first. It's easy to forget when client deadlines loom, or to get carried away when we're doing something much more enjoyable and creative than changing dirty diapers. Anyway, my resource limitations keep my goals limited too. I know other freelancers probably make much more money than I do even while they juggle little kids and housekeeping. I just can't do that, and I've let myself off the hook. Lexi Oh yes, time is a big issue for me as well. But I don’t consider my kids to be obstacles to freelancing.

For me personally when things are progressing slowly, it's not hard to start getting unmotivated. Having support from others is a must at times! Time is another big thing too. I have two children and I have to work around their time as well as my regular job. I just have to do things slowly, a bit at a time when I can. Eventually I'll be able to put a lot more time into it. .-= Chris Anderson´s last blog ..<a href="http://online-marketing-vault.com/2009/10/todoodlist-review/" rel="nofollow">Todoodlist Review</a> =-.
