Chances are good that you've found this blog because you've wanted to know more about working from home. You're tired of the 9-5 grind that keeps you from your kids, your family, and your passions. You don't believe in your heart that you should have to stuff your identity as a mom, a wife, and a wonderfully-created woman into the closet while you put on your "business pants" and earn that much-needed paycheck. You know that you bring something amazing to the work world, and it's beginning to feel like time to make it on your own.
Don't get me wrong: You will have days that feel just like those you experienced behind the desk of a company who cared little about your fears, dreams, or expectations. At first, you may work longer hours, sleep less, worry more, and burn through more pots of coffee than should ever be allowed by law. You'll cry as you wonder when you'll ever get your first client. You'll scream with excitement over that first client contract. You'll cry again when you lose that same client. And you'll feel the warm pride that comes from knowing that this month's too-high electric bill was paid for by the fruit of your self-employed labor.
You've found the perfect place to explore, make friends, and pursue your dreams! You're ready to do it for real, this time.
