This concept came to me just 10 days ago when I was visiting two friends who are also small business people. Joel is an internet marketer, and Andrea (Ahn-dray) runs a lingerie business. We were sitting around their kitchen, Andrea was working on a mind map and Joel was tutoring me on setting up a blog for my wife, Anke. In the course of our conversation the domain name just popped out of my mouth and we all instantly knew it was a keeper.

So over the past 10 days I got everything rolling and here we are, on my  40th writing the inaugural post!

My goal with SmallBizWithKids.com is to provide engaging, entertaining and valuable insight, commentary and “best practices” on work, life and family. I hope that others will join in the conversation and add their comments and perspectives.

Work Life and Family are the three keystones for every small business owner. More appropriately, work life and family are the three balls that a juggler has to keep up in the air. Small business owners are jugglers by choice and by necessity. The real trick is to keep it to just three balls, and to keep them all going happily and productively.

In the future, I’ll be interviewing executives and productivity tools, reviewing and commenting on books and news and sharing some of the day to day highs lows and challenges that come from parenting, from marriage and from running a business.

I hope you enjoy your time here and like it enough to tell your friends and subscribe to my feed.

My best to you and yours,

Tim Johnson
