Six Figures in School Hours is all about helping you run a successful business and still be a good parent.
Because in my experience most business-owning parents don’t want to build a global empire or make a gazillion dollars a year. I mean it would be nice but it’s not their top priority.
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.
Yes, we know running a business can be rewarding. However, it can also seep into every life crack, eat up your energy and leave you exhausted, stressed and snapping at your small humans.
In Six Figures in School Hours, me, Kate Toon award-winning digital marketing coach and business mentor will be sharing practical and doable tips for parents to run a successful business, make serious money and not burn themselves to a frazzle in the process.
We’ll be chatting with real-life parents about their experiences of managing the juggle, as well as experts in parenting, finance, productivity, mindset, communication and more.
I’ll show you how to turn that six-figure profit dial up or down depending on the compromises you’re willing to make.
As well as that we’ll be sharing tools and tactics to manage your money, be more productive and focus on what matters, along with inspiring stories from other successful business parents who know exactly how it feels.
Six Figures in School Hours is a smart, honest business self-help podcast that gives you the skills, the tools and the confidence to never again need to choose between a successful business and a happy family life.

Toon Update: Podcast on pause
Hello, I just want to explain that we're going to be taking a little bit of a break on the podcast, probably about a month or so.
This is sadly because I've had some bad news from home and I need to return to the UK and spend some time with my family. So I hope you can bear with me while I get through this difficult time.
We will be back later in the year with more great episodes.
Thanks for listening. I wish you all well. Thank you.

Working for corporate while helping working mummas with Carina O'Brien (Chat)
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.
Tune in to learn:
How Carina juggles the small business world, and the big corporate international company world while raising two young kids.
Why Carina takes a more relaxed approach with her parenting style
How Carina and her husband navigate the organised chaos of work and home life.
Why finding time for herself is one of Carina’s biggest challenges right now
Why talking with other parents can bring up the parent guilt, and how Carina addresses it.
How communicating through shared calendars can help your productivity
Carina’s tip for being better with your money.

How to feel less parent guilt when working from home (Agony Aunt)
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.”

Customer Reviews
Entertaining, informative, and real
I was a fan of Kate Toon’s SEO podcast and decided to give this one a try. It turned out to be just what I needed, just when I needed it. Kate takes a practical approach, never overpromises, and her personality adds just enough humor to make topics enjoyable. I’m about to write a scathing review of a business product with a buyer-beware refund policy and wanted to make sure to balance out that negativity by giving a shoutout to a business resource I find helpful. This is it. Highly recommend. Keep up the good work, Kate!
