Mothers Working From Home, WAHM

Mothers working from home, also popularly referred to as WAHM’s (work at home mom), are leading a surge in the growth of home based businesses.  It’s not an easy task being a Mother.  It’s not an easy task for single Mothers working a traditional job especially.  Balancing the commitments of family and professional duties can be a challenge at times.

First Lady, Michelle Obama  voiced at the annual meeting of the Corporate Voices for Working Families in Washington, “I personally… know the challenges of leading a busy life at work and at home, trying to do a good job at both — and always feeling like you’re not quite living up to either — and trying not to pit one against the other, really trying to balance it so that… I call myself a 120-percenter.”  Mrs. Obama personally related with  the struggles of many Moms who strive to give 120% at being the perfect Mother, Wife, Grandma, Friend and Businesswoman.  In a roar of laughter and sincere applause she continued, “I have a chief of staff and a personal assistant, and everyone needs that — that’s what we need,” “Everyone should have a chief of staff and a set of personal assistants.”

Mothers working from home is an impressive Movement.  Taking full control of their situations by creating opportunities via  flexible careers and implementing technology to discover effective new ways to communicate with the world of business while at the same time, attending to their children at home.

From a recent survey conducted by IDC, a leading market intelligence and advisory services company, the average annual gross income of work from home businesses is $63,000.  A home based business for Mothers is a fantastic means of generating income, expressing creativity, advancing professional skills while caring for your children at home.

For WAHM’s, or Work-at-Home-Moms, the main goal is often to change the way business is done while supporting your family at home.   The trick is to start small so that you can work around your daily activities, family responsibilities, social commitments, exercise, children’s school schedules and nap times.

Maintain Professionalism Working From Home

Maintaining a professional mindset and attitude is extremely important for the work from home / home - based business owner such as Monavie distributors.  If you have frequent client, customer, prospect and business partner interactions, it is highly advised to be mindful when answering the phone or responding to emails in a professional manner.   The comfort of a home office may be an informal environment that gives you the pleasure of dressing casually.  It should not be forgotten that client and business interactions should always adhere to certain protocol and decorum.  Keeping your interactions more businesslike will go far to ensure that your clients and customers do not begin to doubt your ability to serve their best interests.

Working From Home Gives You a Creative Outlet

Working from home  can be an amazing opportunity for you to give birth to your passions, talents, and abilities while creating a money-generating business vehicle.  Home based business owners realize that they are the magic as everything begins and ends with them.  The sheer nature of working for yourself forces the mind to be creative, to think smarter, work harder and solve the problems and challenges of those who are served.  Being creative though is just the start.  You also have to work your plan and be a great laborer as all creative ideas, are just ideas until they are excuted correctly - this often means consistency, adjustment, and continued forward progression in spite of inevitable setbacks.  The world of wealth and success rewards those who are a successful combination of creative talent, ability, hard work, and quite frankly…a little luck as well.

Increased Productivity Working From Home

With certain home based businesses you may have less need to travel in traffic or attend ill-productive meetings at the corporate office.  Granted there are home based businesses that require you travel such as field sales or repair services.  A challenge however with a work from home business is the discipline of following through without a traditional company superior or accountability system overseeing your effectiveness and follow through.  It goes without saying that successful home based business owners are “go-getters” and do what must be done to succeed.  In theory a home based business should allow you more time and flexibility to concentrate on what works best for you and produce the greatest results.    This theory of course becomes reality for those who work their business plan diligently while making adjustments along the way.

More Time For Friends and Family Working From Home

In addition to keeping what you earn having more time for friends and family with your work from home business is especially important.   For parents of school-age children you can see them off to school and on most days be home when they return.  Should someone be ill it’s much easier to leave your desk at home than the one in someone else’s office to care for them.

Whether it is a special occasion with a loved one or a specific meeting or professional appointment you would like to attend, a monavie home based business gives you the ability to manage and arrange your schedule more accordingly to suit your needs.
