My Work From Home Experience

Working from home has been a dream of mine since I first got married and started having kids. I wanted to be able to stay home with my children and still be able to contribute to my family's income. I tried several different packages and programs, only to be scammed and left with nothing in return. I had all but given up on the idea of working from home.

I recently decided to give it another go last year, and I'm very glad that I did. I finally found the right program for me and I have been working from home in my own home based business for over a year now. Not only have I been able to stay home with my children, but I am earning a very good income online.

My husband was a little leery at first, but is very supportive of my efforts. Now, to his surprise, I am doing very well and encourages me everyday. We are both so happy because money isn't as tight as it used to be.

My advice to anyone wanting to work from home, is to keep looking. There are legitimate packages out there. You just have to be diligent, smart, and savvy. You will find the right opportunity for you and your family.

I have written several articles on working from home and published them here on Squidoo. This lens lists all of my work from home and home based business tips that I have written based on my experiences. It is my hope that you will find this information helpful and informative.

    Why wouldn't you want to work from home? Work/life balance is a huge bonus by itself...no more stressed out moments stuck in traffic trying to get from workplace to school on time to pick up the kids,bosses breathing down your neck and other places if they can,no more placating lazy colleagues who only come to life when Mr Big is on the prowl,no more Elsie in the next workstation beating up on her husband/mate/live-in lover.....
    Aaaah the wonderful loneliness/oneness/togetherness of working from home!!

    There are lots of great resources here. I enjoy working from home - I have done for almost 7 years. Sometimes I do miss the office though, but the freedom working at home gives me brings me so much more.

    I hope to put an end to my teaching career next spring. I'm not sure I'll be able to do it, but I want more time to write. Between my book, Squidoo, and my blogs...maybe.
    I'm glad you found a way to do what you want to do.
