Frying eggs, taking pottery classes, growing beans and getting ready to go online

The other day my sister was telling me on the phone: "The one thing your children will always remember is if you loved them when they were small." It may sound obvious, and I believe that we all have this primordial need to love our kids, but with all the hours spent on the computer, investing the brain and ideas to make the business work, with a constant need to fuel the passion and heart to push through the bad times, showing your full-day-love may come a bit challenging. And if you are starting and developing your company into a successful global business, there are and will be pretty many of those critical times. So, here's a field-tested idea: you can decide to work a few extra hours into the night after good-night-kissing your kids, prepare yourself a strong Italian coffee and turn on your Spotify, a bit of jazz in the background is never a bad idea, and then decide to free up your next day. You can pull the kids out of school for only one day and invent a charming escapade. Experiences can be the most rewarding journey of your life because they not only bring peace and comfort, they both can stimulate new business ideas and soothe your emotions. Not only you get to spend time with your children, but this could be a good way to persuade your children to fall in love with life. And probably, while falling in love with everything and everyone around you, your business problems will instantly seem less frightening. On we’ll be on a hunt for delightful experiences, be sure to visit the website tomorrow evening around aperitivo time.

It’s early in the morning, I take my bike and notice that the front tire is practically on the ground. I’m going to venture down to the local newsstand, I’ll pick up a few magazines and newspapers, and after a nice dense coffee in the piazza with my dog W***y, I’ll eventually visit the bicycle shop to inflate my tire. But as I speed softly down the alley, I notice a slow mood in the streets. I see that half of the shops are closed, a well-tanned family in light linen clothes is taking the early morning stroll. The newsagent is apparently relaxed, handing me only the newspapers, encouraging me to come back tomorrow:”You see, I’m a bit behind, Ferragosto has slowed everything down.” So I order my espresso at the bar and see that there is a dog biscuit next to my cup, and as I smile back at the barista I start thinking that today I might actually list some tips for the owners in the hospitality sector on how to improve their customer service. Of course, the bike store is closed, therefore, warmed up by the morning sun, I pedal back home. For a few days with my boys in the mountains my brain will be alone, trying to imagine how the last quarter of 2018 will come together. I’m going to think about logos and packaging, covers and content, to launch the business I’ve been thinking about for some time. To be able to grab my next venture and go for it, these slow-town moments are just perfect, because they make me feel as if I was a quick and agile person, combed by the wind, a true racer even if on soft tires.

This is how we see the world with untrained eyes. Can you distinguish a falcon here? I don't. I once saw a falcon in nature and it certainly didn't balance in the air with a beak on one side and a wing on the other. This illustration is how an eight-years-old sees it. Kids-focused brands should probably encourage this casual and liquid vision of the world in their branding process, switch from a familiar pattern to a new, unexpected one, but still familiar to children. Isn't this vision something we adults call lateral thinking?

My kids are my best handmade goods, and I feel like a giant when I’m there to help them shape their path by giving them an idea of where they should be going. Like a true parent enthusiast, I love to remind them of what’s worked for me and what hasn’t, what I’ve had and what I’ve lost.
It’s nice to put it that way, but often I really don’t know where I’m going. I lose memory of what worked for me and what hasn’t, so I have to do things twice. Sometimes three times. Perhaps it would be a fruitful habit to pass the baton between parents and children, so when one gets lost, the other regains control. Probably it doesn’t matter where I go or how far I fly as long as I keep on moving.

Here’s a sneak peek: my three boys (9,9 and 12) are writing a children’s book for their younger colleagues who are 2-5 years old! Two days ago they left with their dad for the mountains leaving me with their text drafts and illustrations. And while they walk for miles up and down the hills, and wet their shoes in the mountain streams, I’m in front of my computer with a big hot cup of coffee. This is how things go when they’re the brain and I have the tools. Can’t wait to announce: “Tomorrow we’re launching our new book!” Two weeks tops, or maybe less!

Be a falcon,
a good spotter,
and be persistent,
stay still in the air against the wind.

An idea: put your kids on a boat of confidence. They're being born into a world so full: there are tons of things to do, places to visit and see, books to read, food to taste that probably one day they'll stop and say: is there anything else I could possibly add to this world? How do you teach your kids to evolve within this world of ours? And where should they look when the horizon is so colourful and overwhelming? I think we need something that is similar to birdwatching but is called world-watching.

If you’re still mentally and physically removed from the urban life, what do you see? Do you still see the stripes on sunbeds randomly placed on sand in that small Italian fisherman village? Are you living like a local somewhere in the deep North even though you’re one hemisphere away from home? Are you looking at the open sea, refreshing your feet in the crystal clear water, having your kids rolling in the sand? Are you reading a book by a Hungarian author from the sixties in a wooden cabin somewhere near the sky? Or you just can’t switch off and you’re constantly thinking about your list: getting the packaging of your first product right; buying a good solid agenda; finding out how to go one step further, offering new services while making your prices rise and shine... and so on. Whenever this stream of thoughts come into my head, my kids arrive, and I have to restart my thinking all over again. But there are ways to make this focus-interrupting-thing work for you and your kids.

How to create a service from a product that will expand your business and entertain your mind
How to create a service from a product that will expand your business and entertain your mind

If you don’t know @dylantripp, you should probably have a look at his #instastories. Sometimes the brand is represented by the product, but in this case, it is Dylan himself that is the brand. He mixes visual arts and fashion with nature in a joyful way. To compose his poetic bouquet Dylan uses purple allium flowers, pink peonies, green hydrangea and green leaves of asparagus. Girls, have a beautiful day! #8march #strongwomen #flowerdesign http://www.bureauandfamily.com/how-to-create-a-service-from-a-product-that-will-expand-your-business-and-entertain-your-mind/

Our website is ready to roll! Stories, inspiring products, practical business tips and a lot more is getting ready behind the scenes. So if you are a small business owner and a mom or a dad to medium sized and aged kids, please subscribe to our mailing list to keep up with the news! We also want to hear your feedback, because, let’s be honest, in this early stage of our business we will truly suck, but hopefully with your insights, we’ll be able to get better. #creativeentrepreneur #smallbusinessowner #parenting #bureauandfamily #webdesign by @studiobabai
