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.

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.

About the Author

Kate Toon left the high-pressure world of big-name advertising agencies and started her copywriting business when she was five months pregnant. She had no plan, no savings and only the tiniest trickle of confidence.

She dreamed of building a business on her own terms and replacing her real job income while never letting her son feel like he was her last priority. Since then, Kate has built a seven-figure global business as a trusted digital marketing coach and business mentor who has helped more than 20,000 businesses.

She regularly speaks at events around the world, runs two successful conferences and has built a team of humans to help her. And she s achieved all of this working less than 20 hours a week from her back garden shed while wearing pajamas and watching Netflix with her son.

Kate was named Australia s Most Influential Woman in Small Business in 2023, and Businesswoman of the Year in 2021. She s a trusted expert on the TV show Kochie s Business Builders and has been a guest on more than 200 podcasts. Kate has an extensive network of business parents who are already loyal followers of the Tooniverse.
