Moms, Do You Wish to Work from Home?

If someone had asked me that question few years back, I would have said: YES. But none asked me and none showed me how to do it. I had been a stay at home (SAHM) mom for 6 years. I used Internet only for emails, connecting with my friends, fun and information search. To break the comfort of being at home and to be able to work again, it really needs a strong will. I’ll share my experiences as a mompreneur. It may not be perfect but it can be learning resources for stay at home moms who wish to work from home.

Start Up Tips for Working from Home:

• Motivate Yourself. If you work alone, you may give up easily if things don’t work out.
• Decide what kinds of home based jobs you want to do: work independently for a company such as Multi Level Marketing (MLM) or start  up a home  business. You may consider your skill, expertise, your hobby or your passion to start up a home business.
• Willing to Learn Attitude. Because you work alone, you need to learn everything by yourself. I find Internet is great learning resources for moms like me. If you need a help, take Online Coaching to accelerate your learning. I’m taking Internet Business Coaching Online because it is easy, convenient and not costly compared to an offline workshop or course.
• Network with Moms. Let your friends know what you are doing and join moms networking sites to gain support and make new friends.
• Market Your Business Online. Online marketing is cheaper than offline marketing. You need to build a website and set up a blog to market your business. Do find the right Business Class Web Hosting to host your site.
• Find your uniqueness not copycat others.
• Educate your kids that you are now working from home and set DON’Ts rules. Kids, preschooler and above, will understand that mommy needs to work from home.

Do the tips sound hard for you? Yes, they do.  But if you look at the benefits of working from home, the benefits outweigh the hardship.

• You are working at your own pace and you are working at something that you love to do.
• Freedom to work at anytime and at anywhere. Your Small Office Home Office (SOHO) is the best place to work from. You can set your flexible working hours.
• Self-esteem. Back to work brings you new skills and expertise. You will have a self-esteem and pride of what you’re doing.
• Your success depends on your work. When you’re working for a company, you need to cooperate with other people to get a result. I can tell you that not all people are cooperative. There are always good and bad people in the company. Sometimes the boss is not good or the subordinate aren’t cooperative.
• You become a multi-task person because you need to oversee everything.
• You earn an income. Your income depends on how hard and smart you work.
• Less stress. Home environment brings less stress. You can work while you listen to music or snacking. There are no arguments with colleagues or boss.
• Cost saving. You save on the building rental and staff costs.
• Your kids have your presence at home and they learn a real life situation from mommy working at home. They may lend you a help or you may find them imitate what you’re doing.

Finally, if someone asks me: what kind of home business is low risk and safe? My answer will be: Internet Business. It is a business with the low start up capital and you can work at home independently with no inventory.
