INSPIRATION TO WORK FROM HOME
We all want the freedom to be our own boss and many people realise their dream by starting a profitable business from home!
If you are looking for 'Get Rich Quick' schemes them you certainly won't find that here. This group will cover various ways that you can earn a living from home and the skills that you will need to accomplish it. If you want to have a rewarding career by becoming a home-worker then you need to be prepared for some hard work ahead of you. There are really no easy 'Get Rich Quick' schemes - unless you are selling 'Get Rich Quick' schemes to unsuspecting people looking to make a living - not something that I would encourage!
Working from home can be a wonderful and fulfilling career move. If you are a mother/parent it can give you an awful lot of flexibility to work around your children. Put in the time and you will reap the rewards. Be prepared to work hard and not see any real income for a while as your main investment initially is your time.
Let me give you two important pieces of advice:- Try and get yourself some seperate space to work in. This isn't always an option - you may be watching the children or not have the room - but if you have an office or spare room or even a corner of your bedroom, do try and utilise it. You will focus more on the job in hand rather than being distracted. You will feel like you are 'at work'.
Secondly - schedule time off. You wouldn't work from 9am to 10pm in an office so don't do it at home. There may be days when you work more than others but you MUST have time off or you will eventually lose all passion for your busines, your family will get resentful and your friends will drift away. That's it!
So - Welcome to the group - lets get you going!

What Does This “Bailout Package” Mean to You as a Small (or Tiny) Business?
Last weekend, I watched the news on this nebulous ‘bailout package’ nearly 24/7. It seemed so big, so important, yet I just didn’t get it.

I started to understand when one of the Representatives being [...]Is Fear Leading Your Business?

Many of today’s bloggers (luckily) weren’t around last year when Google completely shook up the blogosphere with their crack down on paid links. Whether you agree or not with Google’s stance on the issue, Google felt like companies were too easily able to game their search engine rankings within the search engines by buying links [...]Making your Customers Feel like Stars

We’re here in Vegas for BlogWorld. The flight out here was sheer craziness - passengers singing songs over the intercom, toilet paper races, and our whole flight said hello to BlogWorld. I kid you not, I couldn’t make this stuff up. Half of the Sparkplugging team is here, the rest are coming in today. Besure to [...]My Continued Journey with Twitter
As I wrote about a month ago, (actually it has been 2 months - I can’t believe it!) I wrote a post here about my 30 day journey with Twitter.
