Follow your heart... Work at home!
There are so many ways that women can make a living while
staying home with their children. The number one rule of thumb
of course is -- Do what you LOVE! If you love what you do, not
only will you be good at it, but your enthusiasm will be
'catchy' and you will undoubtedly be successful.
Women are often surprised to find out how many supporters they
have out there in the world. People truly resonate with the
ideal of children having their Mothers home with them - and I
have found that they often times are more than willing to
compromise and work with you to make it possible.
We will be adding links and articles to this page to inspire you
and give you ideas - but the most important message I want to
give you is to look in your heart. What do you WANT to do? What
are you GOOD at? OR - What do you know you COULD be good at if
given the chance? That is where you will find your genuine niche
and your genuine happiness.
If you have an educational background - don't be afraid to
branch out on your own and use it. One close friend of mine
makes well over $100,000 a year running a Public Relations
business out of her home office. She is a confident, loving and
courageous women who dared to step forward and live her dream.
Her husband has told me that you wouldn't be able to get Amy to
stop what she is doing, it IS what she adores. Meanwhile, both
she and her daughter benefit from the closeness of her BEING
THERE.
We can substitute Mom - but there is no replacement for Mom. You
love your children more than anyone is capable of doing.
If you have computer skills, there are all sorts of 'jobs' you
can do from home. More and more companies are launching websites
these days -- many business are strictly web based and have no
brick-and-mortar establishment. So who do they hire to work for
them? Virtual Assistants (VA's)! We will be giving you a lot of
information on pursuing becoming a VA in different articles on
the site. But briefly, a VA executes the same types of functions
that an administrative assistant executes - only from her home
office.
Are you creative? Artistic? Do you have a flair for Marketing?
Could you open a Home Day Care or a local Errand Business? Can
you offer massage therapy? How about a Kennel?
What I am trying to touch on here is that there really is no end
to what you can come up with to do from your home. You simply
have to embrace your desires and your dreams - do some planning
and implement!
