I'm wondering how many successful moms working from home are here. Any advice to aspiring moms who wish to work from home?

I'm at home mom right now since I can't leave my baby to other people, It's my choice to stay at home to take care my 4 months old baby, so what I did is joining sites that actually paying me for completing surveys/offers that really not require much time. I know it's really not much when you're doing surveys but it's added for an income. Working at home mom is a tough job since we have to balance everything, from being a mom to our kids, wife to our husband, then household chores, we have so much to do. Well, I guess, being a mommy is the most rewarding jobs

I think there are heaps of successful work at home mothers. Working from home is a lot of tougher than working in a 9 to 5 job. The main reason for working from home for most people if "flexibility". They love their freedom so much that they are willing to burn the midnight oil to be successful. Its very inspiring to read about these women.
I run two websites. I am a work at home mom as well...I have two kids. On one I interview successful work at home women and the other has asctivities for children.

Balancing being a Mom and working at home can be another juggling job that we do. Mom's are great at multi~tasking. We were created to do that! hahaha

I've just started working from home and I love it. We already are hard workers and definitely multi taskers at home, so I figured why not try working from home and seeing how it goes. I have no complaints. I wrote down my goals and I have an incredible support team that helps me achieve those goals.

I work full time 8-5 Mon-Fri for a major corporation, and also work part time at home after the kids go to bed. If you consider your "wind-down" time after they go to bed...you figure you're up anyways, so why not make money? The small amount of money I bring in from working at home is worth it when they squeal with excitement because we can go for Ice Cream as a "special treat" !

Congratulations to all mom's that have made a decision to take control of their lives!!
I too work from home
GOOD FOR US and OUR FAMILIES TOO!
Yes we work hard especially in the beginning and the reason is this.
(Dave Ramsey said it best.)
Today we live like no one else so
tomorrow we can LIVE like no one else!
Freedom is the ultimate goal
Time freedom and money freedom
I'll never go to a J.O.B.

I am also a WAHM with 3 wonderful kids. It has been tough, mainly getting my opportunity out there for all to see. I looked for so long, did surveys, and offers, but they were not what I was looking for. I needed substantial income, and FINALLY I found a company that I believed in and that I could be proud of. I LOVE it. I get to work when I want, around our hecktic schedule. There is nothing better. I just want to share with everyone that there is a way to suplement your current income, and if you are determined enough, completely replace it, even exceed it. Please let me share with you what I have found. It may or may not be right for you, but I will give you all the details before you have to make any decision.

I am a Work From Home Mom with a corporate background and could not be happier. I have been lucky to find a legitimate business that gives me a good income and allows me to stay home with my 3 year old son.

Hi Rana,
I just read your post
It looks as though you have your plate full with your 9 to 5 and a new baby!
There are alot of opportunities on the net about working from home. Before you buy into any of them I'd say be sure and do your research!!!
Alot of people just want your money and then leave you high and dry!
I have four kids at home and we love to travel, so I decided to enter this field.
I own a travel business (there are alot of these on the net also)
The one I am associated with has been doing business for over 1[/b[b]]3 years and has a very lucrative pay plan. Click on my signature link and this will explain the business to you.
I have recently come across a business that is free to join, helps out a worthy cause and I get paid to shop.
The concept is brillant!
I'll email you a link.
Cheers to you and your new baby!
Cindy

I currently work a fulltime job. I have just had a baby and want to stay at home now to spend more time with my 3 yr old son and my new daughter. I just started an online home based job and hope to soon be able to leave my fulltime position. Good luck to you and much success.

I too, stay home with my three children. My husband is Active Duty Military (U.S. Army) and is currently stationed in Iraq. He has been there for a little more than 4 months now and is scheduled to come home for a short 2 week R&R, then back he goes for another 10 months. I think it's hard for him to understand why I choose to be home and I sometimes feel pressure that I should be "doing more", which is why I have made the decision to work at home with my own business. Just because we aren't physically going to a job everyday - outside the house - doesn't mean we aren't working just as hard! It really infuriates me to be asked - "So what are you going to be one day?" Hello???? I am a MOM and a darn good one at that! Is there anything wrong with wanting to make yourself available to your children (especially while they're young)??? Are there any other Military moms out there raising kids "alone"????

Dana,
I feel that you made a great decision.
Raising your children should be at the top of your priority list.
It's like this..........
Go out get a JOB
wake at 6:00 a.m. have breakfast
drop off kids at 8:30 a.m.
work at a JOB you'll probably hate
pick up kids around 5:30 p.m.
head for home
get stuck in traffic
arrive home around 6:00 p.m. or later
cook dinner
eat
do dishes
give baths
do the laundry, sweep the floor and all the other chores
you did not have time to do in the morning (you get the idea)
Do this everyday for 5 days straight
finally it's Friday your pay check comes and
it all goes to DAYCARE!!!!
So in essence your working to pay someone else to raise your children.
or...............
Build a business at home around your schedule
create your own income (the sky's the limit)
Enjoy your work
keep all the profits.
Now don't get me wrong,
working from home is just that working from home
so you'll have to treat your business as a business
set a schedule, advertise, introduce what your marketing to others, keep your books, pay your taxes, etc....
keep plugging your business in the end you'll be glad you did and so will your husband.
BTW- I own two business I work from home, although I'm not a military mom I am a single of 4. I have been independently creating a income from home for more than 8 years.
It can be done!
Here's to your success,
Cindy

Hi. I am also a stay at home Mom. I just started exploring the Internet for ways to make a little extra money for my family. Being down to one income is an adjustment.
I have recently started participating in free online surveys for some extra money. I have also started a blog which reviews the survey companies that I have tried.
I am hopeful this will bring in the extra money my family needs.

Remember that old saying, "When's the best time to plant a tree? " - Twenty years ago. "When's the second-best time to plant a tree?"- Today.
I wish I had known BEFORE I had children, and I wish I could tell girlfriends that BEFORE you have that first baby, is a great time to start a second-income stream (typically a Network Marketing business). You can get it going while you still have real free time (?what's that LOL?) and build it slowly in about 8-10 hours of focused time each week.
After several months of working it seriously, your residual income can be large enough that you can spend less time recruiting, and more time COACHING your downline - via phone and email while baby is sleeping!
Will you make enough to replace your full-time income? Depends. But if you factor in costs of daycare, wardrobe, gas, meals out, etc. that most 9-6 working Moms face, you could probably make a case for staying home with the little one(s) for as long as you want to!
So I would suggest that if you absolutely need cash NOW, starting an NM job with babies is tough - but if you have a little bit of luxury to start now, realizing that it will pay off and pay well for a long time if you are patient - join the club and find the right company for you!
Best wishes,
Anita Hampl
