Technology

Thanks to various technologies such as laptops, tablets and smartphones, you can organise yourself optimally and work wherever you are. They also enable you to manage your time well and to be organised and efficient, which saves you time.

Self-realisation

When you start your own business, you can do what you always wanted to do. Your activity as a dadpreneur will enable you to achieve maximum self-realisation because you are your own boss.

Risks associated with being an entrepreneur and a father

Challenges in self-employment

Work-Life-Balance

Self-employment and the foundation of your own company not only brings advantages such as independence of time and place. Your Dadpreneur business requires a lot of time and attention from you. It can become a challenge to have your work-life-balance under control, for example by a good organization and structure.

"Entrepre-Mother"

If you do not pay attention to this and become a workaholic, you run the risk of going from dadpreneur to entrepre-dad, so you should be aware of how you want to plan your work-life balance before you start.

Financial risk

Not every newly founded company becomes successful. That is why every self-employment involves a certain financial risk. Depending on the legal form you can even be liable with your private assets. As a dad, this can be particularly drastic for you and your family.
