Knowing Yourself…Continually
July 2nd, 2010
Is the knowing of one’s self (so important for a work at home mom in being comfortable with the life choices she is making) a one-time project? Hardly! “To know one’s self is a constant and continual process. Observe yourself. Be aware. Watch yourself in the moments of the day. Listen to yourself. Notice how [...]
Choosing to Be a Work at Home Mom
June 25th, 2010
Speaking of choices, Stephen Covey (the 7 Habits author and motivational guru) has this to say: “The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. you choose sadness. you choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a [...]
Don’t Forget About the Choices
June 17th, 2010
Many a work-at-home mom may be familiar with motivational author Jim Rohn, who offered this advice: “take a second look at your life and where you’re headed…You may be one of those who have become so involved in the process of earning a living that you’ve forgotten about the choices and the chances you have [...]
Know Yourself, Work at Home Mom
June 10th, 2010
One of my favorite inspirational authors, Matthew Kelly, describes the importance of the “Knowledge Principle”. “Wise people know themselves and live from that knowledge,” he writes.

June 3rd, 2010
Persistence. You hear the word a lot in the work at home arena, and it truly is essential for a work at home mom to succeed. Persist at what? Persist at making the effort to do whatever it takes for your work at home situation to succeed, that’s what. That may be making “scary” phone [...]
Feels So Good
March 26th, 2010
When you have your own home-based business as a work at home mom, the failure or success of your undertakings rests heavily on your own efforts, your own initiative, your own motivation and your own ideas. Sure, this can feel a little heavy sometimes. But what a great venue for creativity. And it feels SO [...]
Independence & Teamwork
March 12th, 2010
Most any work at home mom with a home-based business would probably consider herself an independent worker. I know I do. I was the fifth grader who wanted to do the “work with a partner” project solo, because then I knew it would be done right and right away. Nor did I go for “study [...]
Highlight of the Week
March 6th, 2010
One of the things my business support team does every week is have each person share a highlight with the group – often it’s a business highlight, but not always. It might be a strong business week, a change in perspective that better equips us to move forward, something we particularly enjoyed or whatever seems [...]
The Hour of the Work at Home Mom Has Come
Jan 29th, 2010
Do you pay attention to trends? I find it very interesting to reflect upon them – sociological trends, business trends, worldwide trends – trends of all kinds. Have you ever thought of yourself as a part of a trend?! The June ’09 issue of Parade Magazine states by 2019 over 40% of the work force [...]
