How can you Juggle family, working a 9-5, and starting freelancing business while working?

Hey guys, I am looking for some advise for figuring out how to balance Working in the kitchen cooking, 8 hrs a day 5 days a week, with my pregnant wife and starting a business, sometimes I'm working all night other times all day. I'm cramming web design courses and I want to take the skills I've been learning to start freelancing development on the side but I am having a hard time getting a schedule set up. so i need some advise from those who have been through the struggle I am facing currently.

Thank you in advance.

Take some time on evenings when the kids are sleeping and work on projects (when it doesn't interfere with your work schedule) or early in the morning. Start with small projects and see how much time it takes you (so track your time carefully). There is a business course on here and if you go down to the career resources at the bottom of the page there are several informational courses there, too.
