AT-HOME MOMS STARTING THEIR OWN BUSINESSES
Let's face it, many of us who have decided to be stay-at-home moms dream of having the best of both worlds. We know the importance of being there for our kids 24/7 so that they feel loved and supported in childhood. All our attention we hope will produce confident and well-adjusted adults. However, being a stay-at-home mom has it's challenges. There are countless hours spent pureeing meals and loading and unloading Diaper Genies. Many well-adjusted adults have mentally unraveled in this quotidian lifestyle. New stay-at-home moms remember more glamorous days when they were Vice Presidents of major corporations, Marketing Executives, successful Event Planners and so on. The truth is that these days many women are taking the opportunity to build wealth from home by starting their own companies. The number of professional women who decide to quit their jobs and become stay-at-home moms is on the rise. Business savy women are finding the extra time at home to brainstorm and do some soul-searching. In doing so, they are seeing the benefits of creating businesses on their own terms. There are more and more networks out there created for mom entrepenuers.
