How can I start a business as a single parent?

With a lot of hard work, determination, and excellent time management skills. You did not indicate the age of your children - and being a single parent with a toddler presents a different set of challenges as a single parent with a teenager.





As a single parent, you are already juggling a lot of roles -- add to that the many roles of a business owner that you will be playing. If you have limited resources, be prepared to do everything yourself, from thinking of your business strategies, marketing the business, keeping the books, meeting with the clients, etc. It is not impossible, and many others have done it, but be prepared to work harder and take note of how you manage your time.





One article I suggest you read is ';How to Make Money with Minimal Effort'; http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol118/money鈥?/a> . It is not a how-to-get-rich-quick article, but offers some tips on how you can produce a steady income with less effort.





I suggest you also network with other single parents who have started their own businesses - their stories can help you push on when the going gets tough, gives you advice or simply encouragement. I suggest you check out:

There are a lot of single parents already, so I don't think people would pay for advice on how to become one for example. Maybe you could focus a new business that utilizes a special talent, interest, or training you may have.
