Running a business while raising kids can be challenging. There are a lot of decisions, example setting etc that one needs to focus on.

He said \u201cIn life we all have many balls in the air that we are juggling between – ambition, career, hobbies, dreams, family\u2026all of these balls are made of rubber except one. All the ones made of rubber will bounce back up even if you drop them once in a while. But there is one that is made of glass and you better not drop it. It is the ball of Family\u201d.

8. Encourage them to travel.
9. Let them fail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
