How Can Women Work From Home and Raise Kids Under One Roof?

When we, moms, work at home, we love the idea of short commute to kitchen for a cup of expresso in the morning or a cup of hot english breakfast and sit by the bay window looking at everyone rushing to 9-5 job.. I love waking up late and getting on my computer, hear that chirping sound of TweetDeck and check my messages I receive on My Twitter account  However, it is not that simple.

Stay at home moms who work from home require more discipline and they still crave for the interactions with adults.

In the past few years there was so much emphasis given to online meetings and social networking that women forget the best gift God gave us- abilty to communicate openly with each other. Women need that as bad as we need chocolate. We crave communication with other women and when we make appointments for meetings at the restaurant or coffee shop it becomes more than just a meeting. We open up and share our life. It becomes our therapy days!

I think we all should never forget that human communication is very important when we are working at home. It keeps our energy levels up and it keeps us sane!

When I started in the big ticket home business industry, I was focusing on the business more than on my personal growth. I did not believe in branding myself and I believed that all that personal development hype was for people who loved attention. Oh boy I was wrong. I was determined to build my business and when I failed I blaimed the company and not ME, talking about constructive critisism!

My point is that we need to learn about ourselves and discover our true passions to be succesful. The only way we can do that is reading and studying successful people and who created success and then we can apply to our business. Then we can manage our life and manage our home, kids and business. We can learn how to create balance because we know who we truly are.

My advice to you would consist of the following principles:

1. Learn about yourself: know your weaknesses and strengths.

2. Focus on managing your emotions and not just time

3. Spend time meditating every day. It will create peace in your mind and you will be more centered.

Virtual world is still a great way to meet potential clients. I think we should have balance in our business and our life. We can be glued to our computer screen 10 hours a day and forget about other responsibilites and in order to prevent that we must create a schedule of our online activities the same way we plan our meetings with our team, clients at Starbucks or a restaurant

My advice is to create a callendar of your daily activities.

1. Go to work at home mom, just women in business forums and message boards

2. Register with online communities such as meet up and myspace

3. Write your blogs every other day with hubpages or wordpress.

4. Schedule all your appointments on the same days.

5. Keep your training schedule on the same days

6. Do not forget to relax!
