Great interview, and Naomi I love your blog!

I started my itty biz after my 4th kid was born, and then two years later proceeded to have my 5th. After my 5th was born, my business was in a growth stage, and that was the hardest, most ridiculous period of my career. I had a lot of successes, and a lot of failures, and the stress was not be believed.

Now that #5 has turned 1, it’s already a different ballgame and things have calmed down more. But with 5 kids, my work time is (self) limited, so it’s still not easy.

But I love it, and I’m determined to succeed. So hopefully I will.

Great interview!
Its always good to learn from those who are successful in what they are doing. This always allows me to look at my work now and say “ok here is where I need to make a change …”
Great post!

sorry Dave, hope you won’t start receiving traffic for these keywords

Naomi, I usually charge for projects not by the hour, and that was ‘personal time’, so it’s ok I guess (I know I should probably do something else in my free time though haha)

So you were the one who Googled that! Which of your charming and unsuspecting clients were you billing for that particular minute of your life?

In other news, I don’t even make the top 10 pages for “shitty biz” and I have all but 2 letters! Where is the justice?

You know why I so love IttyBiz and Naomi and her writing? How many blogs d’you read that are ranking #3 in Google for the search term ‘Itty Shit‘?

Ok seriously, that was a kick-ass interview
I especially liked the part where Naomi talks about her nephew and gifts from strangers, that’s success

I assure you that I never had the bravery to test the theory of electrocution via hand tools. On the other hand… oh man, did you ever just open a tidal flood of memories.

Which reminds me to hide my carving knives…

James,

Stories like that (and my own) consistently put me in awe that any of us (as kids) survived ourselves!

When I grow up, I want to be as cool as Naomi. Minus the kids. Minus my kids, too. Come to think of it, if I minused all the things that distract me from my work, I might actually end up having a really, really successful business!

Hm. On second thought, I’ll keep my kids. One just spilled shredded paper all over my living room carpet and gave me such an “I’m sorry” look that I can’t help but forgive her for trying to short out the electricity earlier with a screwdriver. Gotta love ‘em.
