How I Started My Successful Side Business As A Complete Beginner While Having Four Small Kids [Video]

Hey everyone, Richard here. Today, I’m sharing my personal journey of starting a side business while juggling the joys and challenges of having four small kids (and a wife!). If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of starting a business, especially while managing family life, this video is for you.

I cover how I balanced being a full-time pastor in Hong Kong, a father to four young boys, and a beginning entrepreneur. I’ll take you through the ups and downs, the initial doubts, and the strategic moves that led to the successful creation of my online business. This wasn’t just about making extra income; it was about finding a way to contribute more to my family and my church without sacrificing what I love.

In this video, I talk about the importance of time management, prioritizing family, and maintaining my role in the church. You’ll hear about the challenges I faced, like investing time and money without immediate returns, and how I kept pushing through the doubt. My story is a testament to the fact that with the right mindset and dedication, balancing a business, family, and passion is possible.

I want to encourage you, especially those feeling uncertain about starting a business while managing family responsibilities. Remember, it’s not about sacrificing one for the other; it’s about finding a harmonious balance. So, whether you’re a parent, a professional, or someone with a dream on hold, let my journey inspire you to take that first step.
