So, I believe I've found the perfect work at home business for me. Now, I'm just really wanting to know how I go about approaching people I know about a business that would be a perfect fit for him or her? What about people I don't know.
The partners that I've joined with offer great insights and training. Will give you their schedule to help if you are just starting out.

I mean if you want to get healthy and have a chance at earning an income would that not interest most people? I am still putting in applications while waiting to hear about my job I applied for a month ago and said I was going to be hired after they do a background check. That's awesome news, then I found out it could be months before I am accepted.

So, now I am working from home by telling people I know about my business/partnership and I'm loving it. So, what avenues would you use to stay at home and work from home to be there for your kids when they get up in the morning, go to school, are sick, come home from school or need help with home work?

What can I do next?

we planned our lives on my husband's salary. So if I choose to work - great - it's gravy....if I don't...we will be absolutely fine....

When I have contracts to work for recruiting - I get up and get ready like I'm going to work...so as not to be confused....

I sell things on Craigslist and ebay - helps keep the clutter down in my house and the extra $$$ is nice!!!

I will actually find myself a SAHM for the first time in Feb. 2012 due to my company moving my department across the state, and I'm not following it. It's good in a way, because my baby will be born in early Feb. so I will get to be a SAHM with the baby and my (then) 6 year old son for the first time, and that excites me.

On the other hand, I am just beginning the process of "what do I do - find another professional/career job? do something less professional, possibly part-time just to supplement our household income? work from home?" So I am looking into any and all possibilities at this point. I think that ideally, I'd like to work either part-time away from home, or work from home, preferably doing something I enjoy on either front. I really don't favor the idea of going to work full time... I am hoping that we can work out our budget so that I don't have to, and I feel confident (at least at this point) that we can do that.

I'd love to hear about things that others have done to generate income while staying at home, or working part-time. I know questions get asked on this site all the time about how to make money from home, but I never really see any ideas that are good fits for me... naturally, I want something legitimate, and so often, the work-at-home ideas are a little shady...

That is one of the beauties of having a home business...you can work it and build it in the nooks and crannies of your day. You can supplement your FT income or do it exclusively. Is your business a network marketing company? Your sponsor or upline should be providing free training....I know my business does, so I assume all provide training. Network marketing companies are increasing and growing due to individuals' desire to be their own bosses plus recommendations from top economists and business people. I love having my home business because after working 5 years while the kids were little and being completely stressed out, I now am here for them yet still provide significant income for my family......it's a win-win. I have my family time, yet still some adult time. good luck and best wishes.
