I Want to be a Work at Home Mom!
Some SAHM (stay at home moms) are taking the steps to become a WAHM (work at home mom). Many moms are choosing to stay home with their children and are looking for a home business or work from home...a way to make money from home. The search for a home-based business can take a lot of time and research. The number of companies out there is incredible. Maybe you're thinking of joining one of the many direct sales or network marketing companies. Perhaps you're planning to set out on your own. Whichever you decide, I encourage you to take your time. Before you jump on in to a business venture, it is important to ask a lot of questions.
Here are a few questions to consider in choosing a business.
The opportunities for a home-based business are numerous. Depending on interests, creativity, and skill levels some choose to go for it on there own. Others, choose to represent a company on a wholesale or commission basis. If you are choosing the latter route, here are some things to look for in a company.

How do the products reflect "you" ? your values?
Is this a business you can have fun with?
Are you excited or passionate about this business?
What skills do you have to grow this type of business?
