I had a painful reminder last week of why I am so committed to helping moms work from home. I contacted a friend I hadn’t talked to for a while and asked her how things were going. In short, her reply was: not very well. She has a four month old baby and two other children under the age of six, and she works full time (at a good job she really enjoys). Her husband is stretched thin, she’s stretched thinner, and it is just rough.
I think to myself what a difference it might make for her and her beautiful family if she was working from home. Especially if she had begun developing a home-based business before reaching this height of busy-ness. And even more so if it was a business that offered residual income (so that work she had done in the past would continue to reward her).
Yes, there is still juggling involved for a work at home mom with young children. Yes, the activity level can get kind of intense at times. But I am convinced it can be more family-friendly than working outside the home.
And so I have a new wave of courage to reach out (believe it or not, I can be timid 
) and am re-inspired to spread the word: Moms, you can make the contribution to the family income that is needed in so many cases by working at home!
