Work at Home Mom

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 is going to be independent contractors. Richard Kiyosaki of Rich Dad/Poor Dad fame talks a lot about entrepreneurship and its increasing role in our world. We work at home moms with home-based businesses are part of these trends! Our hour has come .

So, what does that mean? Well, first of all, it gives our ventures credibility. I still sometimes hear work at home moms share that the reactions they get when they tell people what they “do” can be less than affirming. Maybe it’s the term, rather than the activity, but part of this larger trend will surely be an increased force of work at home moms with home-based businesses and an increased acceptance of this career choice. It may even thereby give someone the courage to persevere, or make the transition they’ve thought about making to this kind of career.

It’s exciting and yet humbling, in a way. We are frontrunners in a field that will change the landscape of our economy. Go WAHMs!!
