I recently returned from a fantastic Conference sponsored by other home-based business owners who have businesses like mine under the same parent company umbrella. It was so helpful, so encouraging, so inspiring…and so fun! It reminds me of the definite need for the work at home mom to have support in her income producing ventures. [...]

Looking Back, Looking Forward
Dec 4th, 2010
I had occasion this week to be at a conference with many of my contemporaries from my pre-work at home professional life. It felt good to appreciate their successes and it felt super to be secure in my own very different, but successful, career path. I did a little looking back, but mostly I am [...]
Thankful to be a Work at Home Mom
Nov 24th, 2010
A friend of mine, working in retail, is at the store today. And she’ll be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I realize this may not be the case for all work at home moms, but one thing I really, really appreciate about being a WAHM is that I don’t have to work this Thanksgiving weekend! [...]
Saying “No” Every Day
Nov 11th, 2010
Right after the most recent post about saying no, an e-mail came into my inbox titled “Routine….saying No”! How timely! Well, I addressed that topic already, I thought to myself. And then I clicked open the e-mail. Guess what? That’s right, you’re about to find out that it offered not the same, but a complimentary [...]
The Importance of “No” for the Work at Home Mom
Nov 6th, 2010
In order to be successful, there is one word the work at home mom should become comfortable with. That word is “no”. There are always tons of things vying for our time and attention. And, because we are “at home”, others sometime think we have more of that precious commodity of time, and so are [...]
A Work at Home Mom Franchise
Oct 21st, 2010
I received a solicitation recently for a franchise offering. As a work at home mom, I’d apparently been targeted as someone who might be interested in purchasing a franchise business arrangement. There certainly are benefits to a franchise, such as business brand recognition by potential customers, pre-developed systems and training, and corporate support and assistance. [...]
Surround Yourself With Encouraging People
Oct 14th, 2010
Being a work at home mom has lots of advantages and plenty of benefits. But it can be rough, you know? You can become discouraged. You might feel lonely. You may question the decision you’ve made to make a change. Perhaps you’re having a day where you just want someone else to tell you what [...]
Spreading the Word
Oct 7th, 2010
One of my state universities recently sponsored a “Young Women in Business” conference for high school girls. According to the article about the upcoming event, it was designed to “help female high school students explore business, encourage them to have confidence in their abilities, and give them the opportunity to learn about the wide variety [...]
Addressing Tolerations
Sep 23rd, 2010
I addressed a toleration today. What, you say? You don’t know what a toleration is or how it likes to be addressed?! Well, if you’re a work at home mom, I bet you have a lot of them and it would be my pleasure to invite you to address them. You see, my business coach [...]
The Important but Nonurgent
Sep 11th, 2010
Sometimes it’s the little things that can stop us from moving forward as work at home moms. You know what I mean? For example, let’s say you want to do some web work in your home-based business, but you need to access a site with a password you don’t have memorized, and you’re not sure [...]
