Starting Your Home Based Business ..

So, you are interested in starting a home based business? Just where do you begin?

How can you make it happen? I have been dreaming of being a full work-at-home mom for many years now and have never really found the perfect balance. Either I am not making enough at home financially that my family needs, or when I am at home, I tend to not devote the time needed to making the home business successful? Are you in the same boat as me?

I think for me it's the fear of failure if I do it 100% and can not be successful at it ..

I have learned from others that it is possible!

The trick with any home business is to ease your way into one. Keep your regular job while you “develop” your home business. Start your business part-time and let it build. When it reaches the point where you are making enough money, you can quit your regular job. This way, you won’t be taking risks and depending on a new business to support you right away. That is where I am right now .. I just need to make enough money to quit the other one and be consistent with the outcome.

You have to find something you enjoy and then it takes ALOT of DISCIPLINE AND MOTIVATION ..

Where are you at in being successful starting your home based business? I would love to hear from you!

We're Here ..

Well, I have had several of you ask about us starting a HoustonWAHMs blog .. well, I finally had some quiet time in front of the computer and thought that I would get it started. For those of you that don't know .. HoustonWAHMs (work-at-home-moms) is a networking organization for those that are work-at-home-moms or those striving to maintain a home-based business. We have monthly meetings on both the North and South side of town and encourage anyone to attend.

I founded the networking organization in January 2007 and we now have almost 40 current members. I have two great chapter coordinators that help keep our monthly meetings going. I am hoping that we can get both of them to help contribute to our blogs.

Catherine James, who represents Jordan Essentials, is our South Chapter Coordinator.

Julie Peters, who represents Arbonne International, is our North Chapter Coordinator.

That's all for now - stay tuned to more updates and hope to be in contact with you on a regular basis.

Talk to you soon!
