Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good source to find opportunities to work from home? I recently had my little girl and hubby and I decided it would be best for me to not go back to work.
I have a finance degress and an MBA. I love being home with my little one, but I know i will have to go back to work eventually and would like to keep my resume active. The extra income would be great too.
I'm hoping to find something 10 -20 hours/week that I can do from my home office.

Thanks in advance for the ideas!

What can I do next?

I truly enjoy my Mary Kay business. When I first was offered the opportunity, I kind of scoffed because I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in eduction. Why would I be in the make-up business?! But then I met engineers, physicians, attorneys, MBAs, accountants, you name it...who all had Mary Kay careers and many of whom were making a ton of money--think $10-15K/ month on the leadership side of Mary Kay. I'd be happy to give you more info if you'd like. A. ###-###-####

I joined an at home business, that is easy to do, it is absolutely free, there is no overhead, no fees, no selling, and it is registered with Better Business Bureau. You can check it out, and decide for yourself if it works for you. Go to: http://www.mypowermall.com/biz/home/49793 Watch the business video, which takes just a couple of minutes. It is an awesome concept, and does bring in income. Good Luck!

Hi E.B.

I don't know if you found your answer from all the good ones submitted. I feel as if I could investigate any of them if I were still looking.

I'll just share the opportunity that worked for me. It is a perfect fit because it combines my passion for fitness and wellness and my desire to make a difference in people's lives with the need to make money.

NextFit is a brand new company -- I found it by accident just surfing for a personal trainer (which I couldn't afford;-). Now I actually have one - or actually more than 40! They are in my head via a tiny device I plug in to my ear buds. I choose the celebrity trainer I want, the Program I want (cardio, run/walk, stretch & tone, Pilates, yoga, weights, etc.), and off I go!

I just hand it out - even at the gym - call back and talke the next day, and of we go!

If you'd like to know more, I'll just provide the website instead of adding to this. (I know -- I go on too long -- the side efect of enthusiasm as you can see from the peopl above who love their business!)

My best wishes for you.

Hi E.!

I'm a mother to a 3 year old and a 7 month old (both girls). I love staying home with them and having the opportunity to work as little or as much as I like.

I am a Pampered Chef Consultant. I started with them back in August 2007 when I was 7 months pregnant. There's nothing to it. The products sell it's self. The Pampered Chef is a great company with great people to help you achieve your dreams.

Let me know if this is something you may be interested in.

Good Luck!

E.,

Have you thought about working for a Direct Selling Company? If so, have you heard of Scentsy "Authentic Wickless Candle"? Extremely safe w/ no wick, soot, lead, or flame. I would highly recommend starting a Scentsy Business! IT has been an amazing opportunity for my family and I.

Our warmers are heated by a 25-watt light bulb in a 2-piece warmer, our candle bars are made of a soft wax packed full of incredible scents. With a burn time of 60-80 hours per Scentsy bar (and sometimes more), over 80 scents to choose from, a wonderful selection of warmers, plus car candles and room sprays, there's something for everyone.

If you are considering a home business, this is a great opportunity for you to get in early with a company that has become a household name! Ask me about MY SPECIAL for anyone interested in BECOMING a Scentsy Consultant! THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO START YOUR SCENTSY BUSINESS since our New Spring & Summer Catalogs will be out soon.

Have a Scent-Sational Day!

Hi, E.!

I am a mother of two children, ages 13 and 19. I am engaged to a wonderful man with two children, ages 2 and 7. The 7 year old lives with us and I stay at home with her.

I spent my entire life in Corporate America, other than when my 19 year old sone was born, until he turned 2. I had to work and over the years since then, I worked my way up to a Director of Recruiting. I built an awesome career for myself, making well over 6 figures, and then I was suddenly laid off, along with my entire recruiting team that I had built, and almost 100 other employees, last November!

At the time, my fiance was a stay-at-home dad, because he had had major back surgery a year earlier and once released back to work, had a hard time finding a good job in his field. Because of my salary, we were able to have him stay home to take his daughter to school and to pick her up every day.

Within three months of my lay off, we were literally buried in late bills, and although I had been trying desperately to find another job, finding one at the salary I was accustomed to, and adding the fact that I do not have a college degree, I simply was not finding any work! Corporate America had also taken its toll on me, having traveled 90% for my Director position, I was barely ever home. The stress and being undervalued and underpaid for my efforts was ridiculous.

I was introduced to an incredible direct marketing business opportunity right before I was laid off, called MonaVie. I had actually bought the product in October and started drinking it, to help me sleep at night and ease the lower back pain I have experienced since the birth of my son. I started talking about the juice to people, as it was benefitting my health greatly, and people wanted to know where they could get some MonaVie.

Long story, short, E.,....I made the decision to NEVER go back to a corporate job because life is too short and my family and family values are too important for me to sacrifice. Plus, I know that direct marketing is the way of the future and these companies are the ONLY way for people to make the unlimited income they deserve, based on the efforts they put into it! So, if you only want to make $500. extra per month, or if you want to make an additional $5000. per month, MonaVie allows for you to do just that!

I realize that, just as there are poorly run and poorly functioning corporations out there, that there are also good and bad direct marketing companies out there. SO....I did a TON of research on MonaVie and everything checked out on top. MonaVie has the product, the timing, the management team and an awesome cause all rolled into one incredible future for those who are looking for good health and good wealth!

So....with all that said.....I'd love to chat with you on the phone and send you some info on MonaVie so at least you can be informed, and then YOU can decide if it is right for you.

I love being at home, working as much or as little as I want to, being able to travel with my fiance and our children, being at all of the school functions and softball games and conferences, without being told by my employer, that I can't go, or without feeling guilty that I am leaving work behind that will need to be tending to, eventually.

MonaVie has been the ultimate blessing for me. Maybe it will be the answer for you too.

Please email me at ____@____.com, take a look at my website at thegreatproduct.com/ourabundantlives. Look at The Product, and look at The Opportunity. I will look forward to hearing from you. I sincerely hope I can solve your dilemma and give you the opportunity to stay home with your beautiful new baby!

God Bless!

Hi,

I saw your ad and thought I would respond. I am a sahm to 3 beautiful (but very time consuming!) kids. Anyway a couple of months ago I was debating whether or not to go back to work and with daycare costs, and gas prices what they are, I realized I need to do something from home. I thought about doing daycare but realized I value my freedom way too much (and my 3 kids are PLENTY of work;) I found a position with a solid 16 year old company, marketing and enrolling new members into discount health benefit programs. You can work from your house as long as you have internet access and a phone. The company offers 6 months adv. pay, daily pay, health benefits for your entire household, 401k options and life insurance. The position is commission based but very lucrative considering 7 out of 10 people are either uninsured or under insured. The programs are VERY affordable ranging between $19.95 - $59.95 per month for the entire household. This is a booming field to get into given the current economic situation and healthcare crisis. Let me know if you would like more information, it has been a great opportunity for me and my family.

Best of Luck!
