About this listen

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.

Six Figures in School Hours is a smart, honest business self-help book that gives you the skills, tools and confidence to never again need to choose between a successful business and a happy family life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The book I wish I had 10 years ago

6 Figures in School Hours is the practical, no-nonsense guide to building a successful business while raising your family. It’s filled with advice from someone who has done it themselves and tips you can easily integrate into your business and parenting model, all delivered with Kate Toon’s unique sense of humour.

This is the book I wish I had 10 years ago when I embarked on my own business journey. However, her advice is relevant and helpful whether you’ve been in business for 10 years or 10 minutes. My tip is to buy the audiobook and the physical book. That way you can listen to Kate’s helpful advice while driving the kids or walking the dog (because we’re all still juggling things, right?), and then go to the physical book to revisit the things that resonated with you.

5 shiny gold stars and a million thankyous Kate, for writing such a realistic, practical and down-to-earth book that everyone can relate to.

Absolutely amazing!

If there was a mandatory list of books to read/listen to when your going down the path of small business while raising a family then Kate’s book would be top of the list - hands down.

Kate’s book helped put my small business/family life into perspective, reassured me that everything I was feeling was completely normal because she’s walked in these same shoes. I laughed, I cried and I nodded along in agreement throughout the whole book.

Thank you Kate!

Practical advice with laugh out loud relatability!

Kate Toon fan here, and she doesn't disappoint with this candid, tried and tested guidance on balancing business ownership, parenting, and self-care.

I love the Toonisms eg bigger than ...a big thing...etc.

Kate's passion for her business, her honesty about real challenges that face all business owners, especially mums, and finding flexibility to be there for her son and self care, while still running a successful business, is something I can wholeheartedly relate to.

Thank you for keeping it real... I've made notes and will adjust a few approaches to my business as a result.

A game changer for parents & non parents

A non-wanky, relatable & highly actionable business book.

A great listen filled with empathy, laugh-out-loud moments, tough-love-honesty & really helpful examples.

The only issue I had was the constant feeling of needing to find a pen so I could write parts down. Solved that problem by buying a paper copy to scribble in as well.

The best business guide and self help book EVER

I laughed. I cried. I furiously jotted down notes.
This book has EVERYTHING.
Kate made me feel seen, empowered and like I’m not alone in my journey.
I listened to this audio book driving around aimlessly while my toddlers napped in the back seats. I sobbed uncontrollably while she described my situation to a T. A police officer pulled up beside me on a motorbike and laughed at my ridiculousness.
Kate is one of a kind. 10/10 recommend.
