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!
