2023 Australian Business Book Awards Finalist - Entrepreneurship and Small Business

Create a flourishing business and never feel like the worst parent in the world ever again.

Most parents don t want to build a global empire or make a gazillion dollars a year. 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, award-winning digital marketing coach and business mentor Kate Toon shares practical and doable tips for parents to run a successful business, make serious money and not burn themselves to a frazzle in the process.

First, you will examine your business goals and measure your why against your desires for family life; then, discover passive income ideas and ways to involve the family in your business life in an enjoyable way; finally, find out how to turn that six-figure profit dial up or down depending on the compromises you re willing to make.

Throughout the book are 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 book 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.

Product description

Review

An honest, enjoyable, practical look at what it takes to make money in your business and be the parent you want to be without losing yourself. - Jodie Thornton, Parenting Coach

Kate has done a pretty stellar job in this book of highlighting the terrain, the bumps and turns, stop signs, red lights and green lights when it comes to the journey of running a business and being a parent. I highly recommend putting this on the must read-list for any parent juggling a business and kiddos. - Sam Jockle, Founder and CEO, ParentTV

It s about bloody time someone wrote this book. For far too long, people with a business and kids have been suffering in silence without a map to navigate this merciless minefield. Kudos to Kate for finally putting it all out there in such an intelligent, insightful and humorous way. If you want to make significant money around kids, this book is for you. - Dale Beaumont, Founder and CEO, Business Blueprint

This book is a delightfully honest blueprint (with touches of perfectly timed humour) to banish parent guilt and work on your terms. I wish I had this when I started my business while pregnant with a toddler in tow, surrounded by five piles of laundry waiting to be folded just out of vid-conferencing view. - Carrie Kwan, Co-founder, Mums & Co

This is a book I ll return to again and again so practical, so readable and so wise. It s truly a gift. - Erin Huckle, Chuckle Communications

As a parent and business owner, this is the book I didn t know I needed. Filled with Kate s humour, easy-to-implement tips and stories of her own struggles, this book is real, kind and genuinely helpful. - Lauren Minns, Luminous Copy

I just wish I had read the book 50 years ago. Really looking forward to seeing the published version. - Kate s Dad

I know this is going to be a tool in business and life that I use over and over again. Thank you Kate!

    What an incredible book - Kate absolutely nailed every.single.insecurity and struggle I have felt and faced since beginning my own freelance work-from-home journey almost three years ago.

    Balancing being a parent to small(ish) humans and successfully building a business from the comfort of my own home office has seen smiles, tears, sleepless nights and many, many moments of self-doubt. This book covers them all (and more), with practical ways to approach the really tough stuff.

    Admittedly binge-read on the day it arrived, I’ve already gone back to it time and time again to get clear about how I can create a calmer, more stress- and guilt-free business - one that allows me to show up and be the best version of ‘home mum’ and ‘working mum’ that I can be.

    Written with humour and grace, the tips and strategies are honest, relatable and real-world tested, which is what makes you realise that balance really is attainable.

    So for anyone out there wondering whether it’s truly possible to successfully run a home business AND still be a good parent? Yes, it is. Just make sure to read this book first!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Real life tips and actionable items to help you make it all work!
    Reviewed in Australia on 2 August 2023

    This is the book I've been looking for! I've read countless other business books that claim to help you build your business but none cover it like this one. Most of the other books forget that many of us are parents and although we may love our business, it will never be a priority over parenting! This insightful (and actionable) book covers it all and doesn't just give parenting a quick paragraph. We are parents first, and business owners second so it was extremely refreshing to read a book geared towards that reality. Not only are the chapters easily digestible, but the book is filled with actionable tips and helpful mindset shifts to really move your business forward.
    Bonus points for the TLDR's at the end of the chapters so you can quickly dive in where you need it the most!
    This book is very well written and I recommend it to all parents trying to "balance" the many hats we wear as business owners and parents.

    It is always really good to learn from someone that has done it, and still doing it. So it's not based on theories, it's real practical advice.

    Reviewed in Australia on 25 March 2024
    School hours. Oh, how they fly by! Especially if you're a working parent. Even MORE so if you're a parent who is running a business.
    If you're finding yourself stuck between the titles of 'rockstar parent' and 'rockstar entrepreneur;', and on many days, feel more like the 'rock' than the 'star' - this book is for you. (So much so that at times you'll think to yourself, "Does Kate have a little secret camera in my house? In my head?! How does she know my pain points so well?!) Because she's been exactly where you are before.
    Kate's book oozes wisdom and authenticity. There's no fluff or sugar coating. No guilt tripping or 'drill sergeant-ing'. Just golden, applicable insights, laced with her signature humour.
    Like every piece of content she produces, Kate keeps it real and insanely practical.
    Being a working parent is life's greatest juggle. No book will ever change that.
    But Six Figures in School Hours will certainly help you keep all the balls up in the air, with a smile on your face and with extra cash in your account.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a realistic and practical book for entrepreneur parents!
    Reviewed in the United States on 20 July 2023

    I was hooked on this book by Kate Toon from my first read of the sample on Kindle (and it's a very generous sample!). 30 minutes later I had no hesitation clicking 'Buy Now'.

    Kate had me laughing and nodding and doing some serious reflection just in the first three chapters. This author really gets what it's like to be a parent and entrepreneur. She knows that we can feel half spent by the time we even get to our desk in the morning. And, she's not promising unicorns and rainbows. (she does seem to like Otters however).

    This book is all about getting real as well as successful as a parent entrepreneur. What's your why? (like really...), what are your financial goals, and how to reframe your wins whether your kids are babies, toddlers or teenagers.

    It's so good to read something really relatable like this and Kate's sense of humour makes it easy to pick up!
