I am excited to invite you to listen in this Saturday, July 17 at 10 AM Central Time (adjust for your time zone) to a live conference call featuring other women like yourself who have chosen to be at home with their children. This call is sponsored by Project MAHMA (Moms At Home Making A [...]

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. Of course, this advice is longstanding among great thinkers (think Socrates’ “know thyself”). And when I read it again recently, I was struck by how true it is for [...]
Entrepreneurs Choose Their Own Chairs
May 27th, 2010
I am sitting in my new office chair, just delivered, as I type this post. Ahhh – it feels good. It should. It took at least four visits (to the office supply store) and what seemed like endless “sits” to find the chair I wanted. The vendor was very helpful – a “mom and pop” [...]
Does Your Home-Based Business Need a Toll-Free Phone Number?
May 20th, 2010
I want to tackle a very practical subject with today’s post: the toll-free phone number. Does your home-based business need one? Well, that depends on the nature of the business and your clientele. If customer-initiated phone contact is critical to your business success AND your customer base extends beyond your local calling area, then the [...]
Non-Competitive Culture
May 6th, 2010
I read a newspaper article recently about the world of blogging moms. It is a huge community, and I was startled to read just how huge. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised. We moms have lots to say, and it’s bound to be of interest. But I was sort of taken aback that the thrust of [...]
Income Even When the Work at Home Mom Just Can’t
April 29th, 2010
Moms are busy people. We all know that. Add “work” (of any sort) to motherhood and the busy-ness steps up a notch (or two or three). For the work at home mom, the flexibility inherent in this work arrangement can also mean that the demands of motherhood easily take precedence, and it’s hard to get [...]
Learning from the Bloggers
April 22nd, 2010
The blogsphere may be a part of the work landscape for many work at home moms. But whether or not blogging is part of our home-based operations, I think there are lessons for all of us at-home workers to learn from those who do blog. I recently read The 8 Habits of Highly Effective Bloggers [...]
If I Can Have It, So Can You
April 12th, 2010
I have the kind of home-based business where I get to offer the same benefits I enjoy to others. And I feel as though it is incumbent upon me to share the gift of this opportunity, so that other moms can work at home, provide for their families, have better health, serve others and make [...]
How Will Your Work at Home be Perceived by Others?
March 31st, 2010
There was a period of time in my work at home mom tenure when I was very self-conscious about what other people thought of my career choice. Especially other professional people. It wasn’t so much the being at home…I mean, who could disdain a mother’s desire to be with her children? It was more the [...]
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 [...]
