Stay at Home Businesses

If you are going to try a stay at home business don't try MyeBizPro. When I was looking at starting an on line business they called me and made it sound great that is until I gave them my money. They were very misleading about the other costs. Find out the hidden costs before you sign up for any stay at home business.

Ugh

I work at the office and my colleague is a telecommuting stay-at-home mom. Worst idea ever. Her 4 year old is constantly screaming in the background when we're trying to get things done. It's irritating and horrible.

Print these tips out for future reference!

Sharon has accumulated a great list of ways to keep yourself involved to facilitate re-entry when (or if) the time comes. One of the benefits of today's Web 2.0 environment is the relative ease and low cost of starting a blog or otherwise establishing an online professional presence for yourself. The small investment of your time will pay many dividends down the road. Two thumbs up for valuable tips that I will be sure to pass on to my clients!

Text Book Answers

Any parent who has devoted their life to raising well adjusted kids who are able to cope with the realities of life has stronger practical and business skills than the average MBA. Technology changes so rapidly that any person of reasonable intelligence and effort can regain up to date technical skills quite quickly. The average single professional has little grasp of the complexities, demands and subtleties of being a devoted parent. Sorry but I will take an inexperienced parent returning to the work force any day over a book smart ego-centrist anyday. The don't know how to deal with adversity or changing situations and balance the needs of the company, the market, personal and family needs.

Why wasn't this artcle available six years ago?

Six years later and three kids down, and I'm aching to get back into the workforce. Not staying current has completely pushed me out of the market despite the fact that I am degreed. I've applied for so many jobs, but I'm beginning to feel discouraged.

This article is definitely good advice that I would pass onto any new mom.

Thanks!
