Hello, my name is Amber and I'm currently a SAHM in Mesa, AZ. I babysit 4 days a week for extra money, but I would really love to find something more I could do. I've considered data entry from home, but unfortunately I've run into a lot of scams when looking for at home work, so I'm really sure where to turn. I'd love any advice and I think this is a great idea for a group! Thanks for starting it up!

Hello, My name is Renee' and I'm a SAHM.  I own the website www.blueberrybeans.com and am currently working on getting it moving more.  I love meeting new people and working with people.  I only worked 6 months in a restaraunt before I quit to stay at home with my first son.  Almost 4 years now with 2 boys and I don't think I'm going back.  I love business and always dreamed to own my own.  Feel free to go to my website and let me know any helpful tips on making it better and more profitable.

Hi!  My name is Linda, and I am a SAHM/WAHM in Gilbert, AZ... I am a Mary Kay consultant (I know... some of you are saying "OH NO!") and I enjoy it.  I am the mother of two young girls, and they go with me everywhere, even to skin care classes and facials!  (They actually usually get a play date out of it!)

Malinda-  good luck with finding something!  With all of your talents and interests, you are sure to be great at whatever you choose!

Hi, My name is Jenn and I too am a stay at home mom.  I have joined and paid for stuff on-line mainly data entry stuff to stay at home and work as I take care of my 4 month old and home school my 12 yo.  I have yet to find work, and I am hoping that I can get some helpful suggestions here. 

I need to find something to help support the household income, but do not have the luxury of working outside of the home. 

I mainly have management experience, and a degree in Medical Transcription, that is no longer good now because of the fact that I haven't used it in so long, no one will hire me. 

Any suggestions will help and all are welcome

Hi....
My name is Sherrie and I am a stay at home mom and I work from home also.
I was so skeptical looking for a work from home program that really worked and wasn't a scam. I found it. It has been a blessing to our family. I would love to share this with anyone that is interested. I have to time now to do all the fun things I wanted to(and the money too). I do have a website that you can look around and see if you might be interested. I am so glad I found a group that goes through the same things I do by staying home and working at home too. Lots of time management struggles at times.....and remembering home is office too. I hope that everyone here gets the advice they need and if you are looking to work from home, maybe some of us that already do can  point you in the right direction.

Hi all, just joined this group.
I am still working full time at the moment, but plan to retire and work at home in the next year. I have found a great home business that definitely is not one of those scams out there. I just made a simple change by redirecting where I spend some of my household money, so I don't spend extra every month and just by doing that I have created a substantial income. It's simple work online or phone and anyone can do it. All support & training is free and start up is only $29US ($39Cdn) with no selling, home parties, meetings, MLM, etc.

I look forward to getting to know you all.

This is My Story... Photo: Daniel and Lacy Tolar

Hi! My name is Lacy. I was a teacher for almost 6 years and my husband was in management. When we got married nearly 10 years ago we had high hopes and even bigger dreams. We owned our own home and our future together seemed very bright. However, shortly after we were married the bottom seemed to drop out from under us financially. For the first time in years I was terrified and knew it would only get worse unless we could find an answer quickly.

My husband began to actively search for an alternative that would give us the security and financial help we so desperately needed. We looked in all the wrong places and ended up being miserable. Approximately a year ago we found this incredible system. We simply plugged into everything our Success Coach told us to do and they trained us completely in every aspect of what we needed to know. All with NO selling, NO inventory, NO distributing, NONE of the yucky stuff. Today our future looks brighter than we had ever dared to dream.

On our first 90 days in the business we earned a signficant income. It wasn't long before our income, working part-time from home, equaled what I had been earning working 25-30 hours per week and it just keeps getting better!!

The easiest thing we could have done would have been to have heard about this opportunity and do nothing (which I almost did). We decided that we would take charge of our situation and took the risk.

Today, we are so glad we did!

Hi

My story sounds a little different that the others here. I never had any intentions of joining a direct sales company for any reason, let alone to rely on it for my only income as a single mom. I guess I was just lucky.

I joined up just to save money on my hobby by getting the consultant discount. Since it only takes a $25 purchase every six months to remain active, I wasn't concerned about having to do parties or sales of any kind since I spent way more than that on my own (and that's  why I could use a discount). But once I started showing the stuff to my friends and family, they wanted to buy too so I started doing parties since they were actually fun because we could spend hours playing with everything, And people just started joining up too so that was fine  since I was already a pretty good business woman in my "real" job and could support them pretty well. Then  when I was laid off almost a couple of years ago, I decided to take the rest of that spring and then summer off even though I'm a single-mom getting no child-support or alimony. I did it was a kind of dare to myself to see where we could go without me jugging a full-time job in addition to the home-biz.

So, as I said, still at it almost 2 years later and while it pays the bills, we are living on a tighter budget than we are used to so I'll be going back to the outside work world soon but I'm looking forward to it for several reasons. Being a work-at-home mom alone has it's advantages but it's not a complete fit for me. But I'm not giving up the home biz anytime soon! Even if I wasn't making the money I am, just the friendships are reason enough to stay for me.
