Moms make great entrepreneurs

Business online isn’t a man’s world. If you haven’t noticed, it’s all about moms!

One of the reasons moms make great entrepreneurs is that bringing up kids prepares them for the demands of owning their own company. There are certain traits this develops that will help immensely down the road. Here are three of the most important:

#1) Patience

Being a mom involves a lot of work without much reward in the beginning. Think about all the sleepless nights you have to go through at first.

You have to feed your baby often, and comfort them every time they start crying. You basically have to meet their needs around the clock.

And as they get older, they still require a lot of time, like help with homework, driving to after-school activities, shopping, and so on. Chances are, you might not see any rewards at first. However, if you are persistent you will eventually begin to reap the fruits of your labor.

Becoming a profitable entrepreneur involves a lot of patience, too. You will often have to spend a lot of time working without seeing much progress at first. However, eventually you will begin to reap the benefits. Few things teach patience better than being a mom.

#2) Multiple skills

As a mom, you have to change diapers, feed your kids, help with homework, drive them to activities, schedule appointments, and do many other things. You require a wide range of skills.

You also need multiple skills for owning a business.

At first, most business owners have to do a lot of the tasks themselves. Examples of typical activities include building the website, designing the product, marketing, customer support, and eventually managing the employees. In other words, owning your own company requires a lot of different talents, just like being a mom.

#3) Purpose

As a mom, you definitely have a purpose. It is raising your kids to become the best person they can be.

With a company, you need to have a purpose as well. Any business owner will tell you that the key to being successful is having a mission.

If you don’t have a clear objective, you will probably fail. Fortunately, being a mom will teach you to have a purpose behind what you do.

Making more money as a mom with affiliate income

One of the most frequently asked questions I get as a mom who works from home is how can a mom make some extra money and stay at home with their children.

And I always suggest affiliate marketing as a way to start out.  It is the cheapest business on the internet that can make you the highest profit.

In addition to my own sites, I also have a few affiliate marketing niche sites that take in about $1000 monthly without a lot of effort. (If I focused on them more, I know I would make a lot more, but because I have a business to run, these affiliate commissions are just gravy!)

Let’s discuss some important benefits of affiliate marketing as a way of generating income.

1. No Need to create a product!
One important benefit of affiliate marketing is that you are not required create or produce any products.  It is the duty of merchants to create the products. So you are only required to select the products to sell, get the affiliate links and start your business in ten minutes. You can focus on selling the product as you don’t need to do anything with the production or delivery of the products. Continue reading →

Make new resolutions every month

As a mom, your resolutions may be the furthest thing from your mind.

Here’s why: the problem with new year’s resolutions is that they get boring after a while – and when life takes over, they disappear faster than a chocolate brownie (at least in my house!).

But you’re not alone. Most resolutions have gone out the window right already – and it’s only the end of January.

So I suggest take the time to set smaller goals for yourself… something meaningful that will truly make an impact – and is easily accomplished.

Here are some suggestions: Continue reading →

You’ve made it Lyra & Sasha! You’ve been here and in our lives for six years today. Happy birthday.

And although you both are just starting to read (and in Lyra’s case, just starting to really talk!), I wanted to give you some advice and ideas to look to every so often.

1) You have a disability; it’s called Autism. But you have never let that stop you or have used it as an excuse. Keep trying as hard as you do and you will ALWAYS be rewarded.

2) Don’t worry if people – even the ones you love – don’t always get you. That’s not about you; it’s about them. Continue reading →
