Ah, the modern dad. A mythical creature who can change a diaper with one hand, answer work emails with the other, and still find time to be a doting husband. If you’re reading this, chances are you’re either that dad, aspire to be that dad, or you’re my mom (Hi, Mom!). But what if I told you that you could add “entrepreneur” to that already impressive list of roles? Yes, I’m talking about diving into the world of Print On Demand (POD), all while maintaining your sanity and your family life.

Tip #1: The Art of Time Juggling (Or How to Not Drop the Baby)

First things first, let’s talk time management. You’ve got a full-time job, a family, and now you want to start a POD business? You’re either a masochist or a genius. Maybe both. The key here is to not think of time as a finite resource but as a jigsaw puzzle. You’ve got 24 hours, and you need to fit in work, family, and your new business venture.

Here’s a pro tip: Use your lunch breaks wisely. Instead of scrolling through Twitter or watching Ryan Reynolds’ latest quips (guilty as charged), use that time to research designs, update your Etsy shop, or even network with other POD entrepreneurs.

Tip #2: The Spouse Whisperer
