Need Ideas So I Can Stay at Home and Still Make Money

Hi Moms,

I really want to stay at home with my 18 month old daughter, but don't know how my husband and I can do it financially. My husband is a student and brings in a relatively small income and not one that we can solely live on (even if we get rid of DSL, cell phones, cable, etc...). For me to stay at home, I'll have to make some money. Do you all have any great ideas or a stay at home business you love? My degrees are in biology and I have been working as an environmental educator for the past 5 years. I love nature, music and I dabble in graphic design. I don't think I'd be a great sales person (and I don't think I'd like it either).

Also, if you're a WAHM/SAHM how did you begin cutting back your spending? Are there some good resources out there with great ideas?

Thanks so much!!

HI A.. I have been very happy to be taking some nutritional products that have been helping me with energy (needed!!), balanced moods and sleep (needed!!), which many people are taking for weight loss, but there are an assortment of (mostly organic)amazing products to choose from. I do NOT consider myself to be a sales person, but I just find myself naturally sharing this stuff with friends and others. Anyway, it is bringing in a residual income and has the potential to bring in LOTS of it as it is a networking marketing plan that is very lucrative. Mostly, I do it on the side, knowing it will grow steadily, given the time I have (I am busy as a marriage and family therapist), but I know I could jumpstart it at any time if I decided to invest more time in it. I see residual income as absolutely THE way to go for all of us. It can either be part time, very part time, or full time which is the beauty of it. My upline continually is adding names to my downline, so it is hard to lose!! Anyway - happy to share more if you're interested. (by the way, John Gray and Jack Canfield are in my upline, so you can imagine it is a VERY reputable company and products..!)Also - the products are fantastic for getting good nutrition into our kids !!

I'm an Independant Arbonne Consultant. I also do not consider myself a sales person, but this business has been amazing. It takes a lot of hard work, but I do this at home with my own 19 month old.

The products are all botanically based, pure, safe and beneficial. With your experience in environmental studies you will probably really like the products.

I'm not sure if Arbonne is for you, but it's definitely worth looking into. Do your research. You can go to www.arbonne.com to find out more. Or contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks,
A.

Hi A.,

I don't know if this would work for you but if you can survive on the lifestyle you'd like on $100,000 a year and are willing to spend 15 hours a month working please feel free to call me.

I'm blessed to be home with my daughter now and can show you how if you are interested in learning more. There's no obligation, just message me if you want to know more.

I have a degree in biology as well! I want to be home with my 3 boys and that motivated me to start my own business from home. I am not a salesperson and I found that this business fit right in with my personality & my goals. I get to use my science background in my business which is great. I would love to share all of the information with you!
