HI EVERYONE. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A DECENT PAYING JOB (I do have a good paying one now, but I'm miserable sitting in a little cube all day doing accounting/billing. Its a boring/stressful/tiring enviornment that I want out of ASAP. I've been with this company going on 3 years now and I DO NOT like it at all) What i would love to do is work A REAL home based job. I have no idea whats fake and whats not, so if anyone is working from home, PLEASE give me some pointers or somewhere to go. I love dealing with people, so even a retail job that pays 13 an hour would be fabulous. SOMEONE HELP! PLEASE!!

What can I do next?

J.,

I am sorry that you are stressed and bored where you are currently working. I to ohad a desire to mork from home and be with my kids. I was wary of everything that was out there. Then my cousin showed me how well she was doing with Avon (I initially got her to start her own Avon business eight years ago). She is doing fantastic. She even paid her house off early. How great is that? Her car is paid for and at this moment she is in Florida at Disney World where she took her family, plus a couple of extra kids for a family vacation. All with her earnings from Avon. Avon has sent her on three free cruises and several other trips within the US. She makes a six-figure income - with AVON!! Go figure. Well, I was sold and got back with the program and in a few short months, I have watched my income grow. It is really an easy job that I get so much enjoyment out of. I don't even have to sell the Avon, because it sells itself. I have recently started recruiting other men and women into the Avon Family and get so very excited about their success.

I could go on and on about Avon. It has come a long way since my mother used to sell it. There are no more territories. Avon rewards it's representatives with gifts (I just got a birthday gift Tuesday), jewelry, trips, and so much more. Avon even has partners now that give us reps great discounts on health insurance, computers, and other products.

I would love to talk to you more about this. I do get really excited about the gold mine that has fallen into my lap. As I said, I watch other reps succeed and I get so excited for them. There is a rep here local to the DFW area who makes roughly $8000 every two weeks with Avon. That does not include her personal sales. Isn't that fantastic? And to think, it all started with wanting to make a little extra spending money. Wow! That's a lot of extra spending money.

If you would like to know more about it, please email me at ____@____.com. I would love to help you soar with Avon as well.

No matter what you choose to do, I wish you the best of luck.

Blessings,

L.

Hey J.

I can relate to your situation. I too am a single mom. I'm 27 years old, live in the alliance area and I have two kids (ages 4 and 8). I saw your other post about maybe cleaning homes. I currently work for myself doing a variety of things, one of those being cleaning homes. I am also a part-time nanny. My other income comes from a home-based business.
I would love to get together and talk. Send me a message back if you would like to meet at the park or something.

Hello J.,

Sorry to hear you're miserable (been there) just a word of advice, before you leave your current job, try and do whatever homebased job at home for at least 3 months so you can see what type of $$ flow it will bring. right now jobs are very hard to find (which I'm sure you know otherwise you'd not be still there). I wish you luck. in the mean time...is there any way you can 'brighten' your day? dab a few drops of lavender oil on a hankershief and keep it in your cube. drink chamomile tea at work. find some relaxing music. also putumayo has nice upbeat music too. pray for perfect job =). any churches hiring? keep looking and hang in there!! ~C.~

J.,
I work outside the home and also work my MaryKay business. I love helping people. The thing about it, you don't have to be a makeup or skin care expert, because everything is self-explanatory. Plus the product is outstanding and has been for over 40 years. I go to people's homes but usually I have them come over to mine. contact me if you would like to know more. It's nice to have the extra money in addition to my regular job. The best thing is if it fits your needs, you can do this full-time. ____@____.com

Jess, just a suggestion...
Since you already have experience in the accounting field and its currently TAX season, H&R block usually has classes you can take to teach you how to be a tax accountant. Take those classes to become a certified tax accountant then you can offer to do other peoples taxes. you can do this on the side as a home based business (sole proprietor) while still working your current job until you get enough business doing that to be able to quit your current job. You can even train to become a CPA (which should be easy for you since you already understand accounting) and that will help increase your business thru the rest of the year.
Try getting a job with H&R block. I hear Jan-April is their busiest time and many of them only work seasonal and make enough money during the season that they dont work the rest of the year.
Just a thought.

Hi J.!! I'm really sorry to hear that you do not enjoy your job! As with all the other responses that you have received I can relate all to well with that situation. I am a single mom of a 2 year old boy and currently work as the dispatcher for an AC company. I get very little time to be home with my son and when I do get home, I'm so tired and worn out that I dont have much patience for him to be a kid! Thats why I talked to my friend (also named J.) who got me involved with the M.O.M team. It is a work from home thing that you build up on your own time and terms so that you don't have to just up and leave and worry about the finances for sure coming in. I would love to talk with you more about it and try to help you get out of your stressful situation! With the MOM team there is no selling and no delivering!! That was awesome for me! Plus, there isn't a huge fee thats due to get started - until the end of this month its ONLY $1!!! Please look at my site: www.themomteam.com/staceyd and I would love to talk with you and help you out if you are still interested! Best of Luck and May God Bless You and Your Family!! Happy Easter!!

Hi J.!! I work from home as a wine consultant and I love it. I get to make my own schedule and stay home with my kids, I also homeschool so I am very busy. There are many different ways to make money as a wine consultant, if you are interested in learning more about what I do visit my website http://www.TasteYourWineAtHome.com and we can chat some. When looking for a work from home job, you need to find something that you believe in, or you will get burned out quick, also look into things like, do you have to carry stock (if it is a sales position), how much support and training do you receive, and can you realistically meet your income goals. I live less than 5 min from the Alliance Airport so if you want to meet one day for coffee/lunch and chat I would love to!!
