Yesterday, I went on a course about SEO. It was extremely interesting, it was well organised and well presented. Even had lunch with made a nice change to the bowl of cornflakes I normally eat (and that is only if I have time).

However, here is the problem I drove home with a deeper understanding of SEO, had gained an understanding of the importance of blogs, page titles, inbound links and even that I will get a slap from Google if I cheat.

But as I was driving along I also felt the panic sneaking up on me.

How can I possibly manage to do it all?  Do I really have the knowledge to do it all correctly? You see……………… I am not sure I do. Perhaps I have bitten off more than I can chew.

I set up KSBKids to survive, to create a living, so get a job I could work around my kids (those of you who read my blog will know I am a single mum). I simply wanted to survive financially, supplying what I perceived to be a gap in the market. I want – and still want – to supply good quality tops and t-shirts for kids. I want to supply quality children’s clothes for boy and girls.

I think Boden is doing a fantastic job and so is nordic kids, I am by no means seeing myself as the new Boden – I simply think the children’s clothes I sell will appeal to a similar market.

Yet here I am stressing about SEO, working 24 hours a day, and I most definitely not got the work balance right. Feel overwhelmed and unsure if the time has come to get a proper job. Will I ever fully understand SEO and even if I do will I have the time to do it all without neglecting my kids all together. Sometimes the stress of being a single, (and I guess ambitious) working mum can be a little too much.
