Hi Faye, congratulations on making the decision that your child is more important. My husband and I made that decision over 15 years ago when my oldest was born, one of us would always stay home. We had some challenging times but we made it through.
In the past some of my work from home jobs have been:
selling children's books and games, tupperware, and "adult pleasure" products! All of these included me leaving the house every weekend, "flogging my wares" in other peoples homes hoping they will buy something. Oh sure, I justified it by saying "oh it's a girls night out" or "it's so much fun" BULL! I did not like hauling 3-4 containers of goods to and from my car up flights of stairs, down flight of stairs, standing in front of a room of strangers telling them how wonderful their life would be if they just bought a fridge smart! I did not like leaving my family every Friday and Saturday night to "earn a few dollars". I needed a better way.
In walked Isagenix and network marketing. I was introduced to a nutritional program that helped me lose over 40 pounds, that helped my husband gain healthy muscle (10 lbs of it) and allow my kids to have only well days. I found it in Isagenix. AND there is a business attached. I could consume products that made me a better mom AND stay home with my kids or better yet, take them with me! I show other moms how to build a financial future WITH their kids not without them. Last night there were 7 children in the living room and 4 moms at the kitchen table. The 2 year old wondered in and out the 5 year old called for water and the rest, well, you could hear them laughing and playing. Every mom in the room felt that they were there WITH their family making a better life.

Faye, what do you want to do?

What type of life will you jump out of bed for each day?
What will make you happy and FEEL like you are making a difference?
What kind of hours do you want to spend on your new venture?
Are you entrepreneurial?
Are you self motivated?
Are you coachable?
Faye what are you willing to give up your life for...because you already are?
Only you can decide what to do next. Ask around. Find someone whom you trust, whom you can relate to, whom is doing EXACTLY what you want to be doing and learn from them. My coach is a mom of 4 kids, married for 15 years, who earns a million dollars a year RESIDUALLY (meaning she DOES NOT have to "work" for it, it comes now regardless). But she still works because her passion is to change the lives of families. When I started I was a school teacher who wanted more. Now I am a professional network marketer. My days are filled with "play dates", lunch with friends, evening family meals, volunteering at my daughters' schools, volunteering at the Red Cross...Well just yesterday my day was like this...
8 AM Coaching call
9 - Returned calls
10 AM - reflexology appointment in my home

So I ask you, what do you want and how can I help you get it?
