Do kids help or hurt your business? Kids are great for your business, says Jill. They make you figure out how to be more organized with your time.

When Jill built her businesses, it wasn't like she had everything set up right away. She experienced a lot of trial and error.

If you're not sure how, ask your customers, your friends, your followers!
