Sunday, March 23rd, 2008Definitely - networking is key to being a freelance. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a VA that I met through the forum. Most of the work I’ve found has been through the forum. On-line networking is great, but equally important is networking with people in your community, former bosses, small business owners, etc. […]
Networking for Success
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008Networking has played a significant role in my success from home. I’ve met business coaches via networking. I’ve met great friends via networking. I’ve gained jobs from networking. I’ve grown a VA business quickly via networking. And I’ve found JV partners via networking.
I’m surprised by how many people don’t see the value in networking. For […]
Efficiency Tips for the Writing Parent
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008Lack of progress, dissolving motivation, and seemingly endless distractions are just a few hurdles in the life of a writing parent. At times, it becomes overwhelming and leads you astray for days or even weeks, not writing a single thing. The life of a parent writer is far from dreary and definitely challenging, but the […]
First Day Back at Work
Friday, March 21st, 2008So after a really difficult week of being sick and running back and forth to the emergency room five times in a matter of just a few days, I am back to work and off to work with a bang. I received an email today from someone looking for a VA. It’s always nice to […]
Do You Twitter?
Friday, March 21st, 2008Twitter seems to be all the rage in the WAHM community and elsewhere. It’s a nifty little social tool that allows you to communicate with your circle of friends. It’s been refered to as the “water cooler” for WAHM’s by some in our community.
I’m not sure of it’s orginal goal, but it seems to be […]
The Night-Time is the Right-Time
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008For getting on the computer and working your buns off!
I don’t know about you gals but right after I tuck in the youngest, I run to the kitchen for a snack then hop on the laptop and work like a Mad-woman for 1-2hrs straight and I am always “super-productive”.
I probably am a “spoiled” part time […]
Another Reminder Why Being a WAHM is a Blessing
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008Today I was reminded why working from home is such a blessing. My son was out of school sick today. I didn’t have to call into work and tell my boss I would be taking the day off because my son was sick. Instead I was able to work in between waiting on him hand […]
Thank goodness for the mute button
Monday, March 17th, 2008Being a WAHM takes a special kind of person. Not only do you have to have a strong work ethic - it’s very easy to get sucked into doing housework or watching your favorite daytime TV shows - but you also have to be able to deal with all kinds of scenarios that someone that […]

Working on the Weekends
Sunday, March 16th, 2008We already know that working from home has many advantages, including freedom in making your own schedule. When I first started my podcast, I was on the computer seven days a week and it was challenging but fun.
Now that I have that website set up the way I want it, I’m trying to spend the […]
