4 Shocking Ways Your Children Can Help Grow Your Solopreneur Business
Today, I am going to talk about four shocking ways your children can help grow your solopreneur business.
When people think about both work and having children, they naturally think of all the negatives. Obviously, starting a solopreneur business when you are also a parent is a lot of extra work, leaving you to feel tired and overwhelmed. Although there certainly are negatives to starting a solopreneur business as a parent, there are many benefits as well.
For example, children can actually help grow your business. I know this sounds odd, but it is true. Let’s find out exactly how your children can help your solopreneur business grow to new heights.
1. They Can Give You Wacky Ideas
Many people don't take what children say very seriously. After all, about 95% of what comes out of their mouth is utter nonsense. As a solopreneur, you can use that nonsense as inspiration to help your business become more successful and unique.
Kids have the wackiest ideas. Although they sound weird at first, their ideas are a little bit genius in their simplicity and effectiveness. Sometimes, all it takes is a really random suggestion by your child to come up with new products or ways to promote your services.
2. They Can Introduce You To More Potential Clients
Kids want to have really active social lives, complete with a lot of play dates and end sleepovers. Although this is a lot of work to you, it does give you the opportunity to meet more potential clients and customers. You should not bombard your children’s friend’s parents with your services, but it certainly does not help to mention that you can help out if the situation ever arises.
Even if the other parents do not meet your business's target demographic, those parents may be able to recommend you to other people they know.
3. They Are Free Promotion
All children are excited to show up and represent their parents. That is, until they become preteens and teenagers who care about looking cool. Still, young children look up to their parents and would be more than happy to be free promotion.
If you have merchandise shirts, you can easily have one made in their size for them to wear to school or other functions. Plus, young children are likely to tell other adults what you do if you can explain your work to them in an easy-to-remember way. If you integrate your child into the production or services, they’re even more likely to be eager to tell other people about it.
4. They Keep You Motivated
Children are a hassle at times, but they are some of the best motivations. As parents, we want our children to have the best lives possible. Because of this fact, your children can help you stay motivated, even when you feel tired or rundown.
Final Comments
Oddly enough, children can be a great help when it comes to running a solopreneur business. Whether it’s their odd commentary that leads to wacky services or free promotion, children really can help you grow your business without even trying.
