Wow!!! Gillian, none of us have any excuses in seeing your schedule in managing a family, home schooling, and a successful business. Exceptional time management. Awesome!!!
Thank you! I appreciate that. Like I said in the video, though... whatever responsibilities you have will feel like they take up all your time. So we all have lots of excuses... we just have to figure out how to not let them stop us.

I know! I’ve only just found her tonight and I’m procrastinating for two years on launching workshops and I’ve no kids! Total inspiration but also excellent content. I have learnt so much already so thank you 🙏🏼
I also have 5 homeschooled kids and starting my online business. It was such an inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love how your kids are smiling in front camera as well as very quiet and gentle
They're not normally so quiet, lol. I didn't ask them to be in the video, or smile, etc., but I did tell them to be quiet. :)
They are adorable 😊
Almost ready to launch my 100k funnel, it took so long cause of having my surprise baby! Your schedule with your kids is inspiring, I have a baby that won't nap unless he is in motion, which is tough, but I'm getting there. Loved your 100k master mind class, I'm really looking forward to finally putting it to work.
A beautiful life work. I hope other mothers see this respectfully. Choice is a powerful force. The old road at one time common now the road less traveled. Dichotomy? All the gifts from your choice especially your precious family. Legacy.
If you ever decided to step down and strictly be a stay-at-home mom without working would your husband takes the main provider role and would you as a family survive? At what time will you have enough acquired wealth, or will you always work these businesses? Does this cause any challenges in marriage?
To be honest, I'd love to not work and be a full-time stay-at-home mom, but I don't have that option, so I'm making the best out of my situation.
You are very together. The depth of your skill sets continue to impress! Continued Blessings!
The kids give you inspiration 🎉
Thanks for sharing Gillian, you are such an inspiration!
Thanks Gillian! You gave this mama a lot of hope today!
Aw, I'm so glad to hear that!
I only have 2 kids and they are in kindergarten during the day here in Sweden. I'm working towards better productivity each day though 🙏
You’re the best! You are so honest and speak the truth. You also look amazing physically for having 5 kids!
You’re a true inspiration for all fellow mompreneurs ❤😊
OMG Gilli you have a beautiful family 😍😍❤❤ thank you so much for all you share with us 🙏
OMG! I thought you were still single. You inspire all the moms in the world. Thank you.
lol :)
Amen, sister! Time management!!❤
Gillian YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! I have always admired you but this is next level. 🤩 Love this video so much! Love seeing the behind the scenes of your beautiful life! Working around the children never worked for me as well 🙃 Thank you for sharing all of these tips, I got so much out of it! Your children are so beautiful and so well behaved! I’m so inspired by you, always 🥰🙏🏼 Many blessings to your beautiful family!!!!
Very very helpful video. Structuring my time is one of my biggest challenges 😊😊
Glad it was helpful!
Wow I'm Speechless God bless you and your kids
Good time management ❤ I love it.
So sweet to see your adorable kids in the video Gillian! However I am surprised you did not mention your husband, I remember the interview which you had. Being in a good healthy relationship with a partner who supports your goals and business and helps with kids and household can be a huge factor both for your own balance and happiness and for the family and kids which of course tells on the results of the business and time management.
I don't have kids, however I feel like many women who have might want to hear a more in-depth dive into this topic :).
I never would have guessed you have 5 kids 😊
nice one gilly! what phone are you using btw?
What a fun podcast!
Love it !!! ❤❤❤
Amazing. I love this❤
Wow 5 kids congratulations Gillian , was your regular viewer since long time somehow didn't eeally spent lot if time watching UA-cam to reduce screen time 😅 but here i am u know wayching adter ages and love how ur still glowing. Your kids are cute & especially girls are amazing 😘 hyst curious to know why homeschool? Like it would be a great tasks for you also schools would let them make friends and is much more worthy than homeschool. Can't wait to hear your views on this. Love u Perkins 🤗
Great video!
such a lovely and inspiring video :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mom of 7 soon to be 8 and you are such an inspiration to me! I hope this isn't too personal of a question, but I would love to hear your strategies for keeping energy up 😅. That is definitely my biggest challenge
Congrats on baby #8!! A few things that help me with my energy:
- Keeping my blood sugar balanced. Read "The Glucose Revolution" if you haven't already!
- Exercising. I don't do a lot, but even just a few hours per week makes a big difference.
- Strong boundaries with my kids. I take care of them, spend tons of time with them, and shower them with love. But I also have strong boundaries to make sure I can get enough sleep and rest. For example, once they're in bed for the night, they can only get up to use the bathroom or get a drink, and they know to just do those things on their own and not bother mom or dad. And in the mornings, I don't get up and "take care of them" the second they wake up. I wake up with my alarm, get ready for the day, then join them in the kitchen to make breakfast for them. I know creating boundaries can be very difficult, but I find that it enables me to be a much better (and more energized) mom.
Thank you ❤❤❤

Loved your video
Great video! Do you have resources to suggest for a mom looking to homeschool? Favorite books, courses etc. I wish to be well prepared before taking a decision making sure my one and only will have all the social life he needs etc.
Getting help is the key
Your next video should be how to have those beautiful hair and strong nerve system after 5 kids ❤❤❤❤❤
😂😂 exactly 💯 I was thinking Same thing bcs I have only daughter and I want to teach her at home but it seems impossible for me to stick to this decision because i feel anxious after dealing with her all day and night 😂
You're an amazing business woman and mommy.
Awe, you’re amazing 😻
Thank you! 😊 You're too kind!
your kids are the cutest infront of the camera! I would have loved to see the behind the scenes content from inbetween all the takes 😂 this video was super inspiring. i run a business membership with a lot of people who are just starting their journey on being self employed and we just talked about "how to prepare your business for having kids in the future". Will definitely share this video with my clients since i think it will be really helpful to many of them. Your content has helped me so much to grow my own business within the last few years and seeing you taking care of these 5 litte ones makes me see you as a true inspiration even more 💓
Thank you for your sweet comment, Isabelle! And I'm so glad to hear that my videos have helped you! 🥰
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ nothing more. No words to explain 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a miracle sister, 🎉🎉🎉they are lucky to be their parent! But to tell you the truth having kids are the solution for being active and smart.
Dang Gillian, I've been following a while and only remember 2 children 👀 congrats 😍
Great video ❤
Aww, you meet him. He’s amazing, right? Thank you😘
It is fantastic!!!
Loved this video. Very insightful and informative as always. Re Lisa Bass interview. I love her blog, UA-cam channel etc. you mentioned she grows all her own food. No she doesn't, she grows minimal food but she does cook from scratch, no mean feat with 8 children. Thank you for another great video.
Can't wait to watch vid but things to do...Jeff
So many important and helpful nuggets here! I think in addition to everything here, and especially in a capitalistic system like the U.S., where we're always taught (or brainwashed?) that bigger is better, we have grandiose ideas of becoming the next unicorn or UA-cam sensation, it can be helpful too to think about business sustainability and earning "enough" rather than scaling, growing, earning more more more. The key word is ENOUGH. And learning what enough is to sustain our life and family ecosystem sustainably- this is true sustainability. We need to ask ourselves instead of bigger and richer, how can we maintain our inner peace in our families, in ourselves, our heart centeredness, our spiritual connection, our authenticity, our connection to our customers, our humanity, our joy, our magic? I love how you talk about working less hours, and not trying to pressure ourselves to work in a hustle culture like everyone else - we set our own rules. Plus if we abandon our family, friends, our kids, our partners - the people closest to us that if shit hit the fan, or we were on our deathbeds - the people who really matter, for thousands of subscribers/strangers - what the heck are we even doing? Thanks again for some important reminders here on staying centered and grounded.
Very Impressive! 🎉
Just doin' my job. :)
You're Blessed 😊
God Bless The Children🎉❤😊
It's like having several cats that try to jump on the desk and lay on your keyboard as you're trying to work in order to get your attention.
Great lady ❤
I have 1 and I AM wondering how is this even possible ?!?! Ok I’ll continue watching to know your secret 😂
1 is hard because you're still building mom skills and routines. It doesn't get easier, but you get better at it over time.
Such cute kids!!
With adhd, we have some tbh but called time blindness, so we can say xyz will take 1 hour but often times that isn’t the case for us. We’re only efficient when our brains deem a task as exciting and likely to boost our dopamine deprived brains. I hate that this is an excuse, but it’s honestly the most depressing thing to not have this acknowledged and to be constantly told “well other people manage” (and yes, I’m aware some people with adhd have found ways to boost their efficiency and don’t get their lives hindered as much by it, but when you’re an overworked mum, trying to homeschool, and have adhd, it’s like everything just feels more exhausting 🫠 how do we come out of this mindset?
Great❤
Beautiful life ❤
I LOVE SEEING YOUR BABESSSS!!!!
Aw, thank you!
Got it. I'll step up my game. By the way, I really admire you. Keep being a positive force.
What do your kids do when you still need to get work done and they have fjnished with their naps? How do the ones that nap, nap at the same time? Do you have kids that nap easily on their own? What do the non napping kids when the napping kids are asleep? Who does the sleep routine with them? I spend 30mins before each nap plus 1 hour before bedtime trying to get my LO to sleep, not to mention often having to stay close by (co-sleep) in order for them to stay asleep 🫠 . It would be great for you to share some tips on motherhood and child raising, sleep getting kids to play independently etc.
She does not hover.
Very cute kids 😊.
I'm so glad you posted this video. It's much more realistic and relatable.
Very intelligent and risposible you are perkin.😊
Balancing entrepreneurship and new mom life is my current season. Thanks for sharing these practical steps. I'm going to definitely implement some of these examples.
love your cute kids god bless them love from Pakistan
How can I join your UA-cam growth community
ما شاء الله❤❤❤❤
Sorry, last question(s). Do you not get tired? Do you not have down time? Sitting quietly for an hour to read or even chilling and watching a movie once in a while (without the kids). If so, where does this fit into your day?
Of course she does. There are 5 of them. She just puts on a good face for us. I'm sure there are times she wants to bury her face in a pillow and just scream.
❤
I still dont get how you do it, haha.. amazing.
How much does your husband really do things to free your time vs a single person working full time alone?
beautiful
Very Sweet kids ❤

Thanks for being here. :)
Fantastic ! Great job , a real life wonder woman!
Getting a work to life balance is never easy, Don't get trapped inside a " Golden Cage"
However, this is for all, over doing it catches up with you in later years mentally, physically and emotionally. Do what is most important for your soul, you never get the time back you missed with loved ones. Most people spend more time working " in " their relationships and no time working " on " their relationships.
Life is like a flower, the blooms of joy come and go, the delicate balance of nature too much water drowns doesn't know how to grow strong roots to search for itself , too little water it struggles to survive.

Where's The Father
It helps to have a stay at home husband. Did you forget?
I disagree. After a time they can begin to get on each others nerves.
Where did they come from? I remember when you just had the son
How come there is almost 700 000 subscribers but under 1000 views on your videos?
you are beautiful madam...
You and Lisa both have husbands at home helping you care for your homes and children.
Yes! That's one of the wonderful things that becomes possible when your business grows!
