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.

Flirting
April 15th, 2010
Do you ever flirt with being an employee? You fellow work at home moms, do you ever think about how nice it would be to just punch the time clock, have someone else to “report” to who can make the hard decisions, have your responsibilities clearly defined in an employee handbook somewhere?

If I Can Have It, So Can You
