Are You Ready To Become Your Own Boss? (Part 2)

By Melinda Emerson

In Part 1 of this article I posed the question: Are you fed up with the daily grind and are you ready to become your own boss? We talked about developing a life plan, getting your finances in order, getting clear about your business model and your core strengths. Now there are more questions that need to be answered before you hang your shingle and start hunting for customers.

In my book, Become Your Own Boss in 12 months, I have developed the Emerson Planning System a 6 step system to help you transition from your job to small business owners.  It’s about how to plan a successful business. You’ve read through Parts 1-3, not its time to take a look at a few more critical things to consider before you become your own boss. Here are parts 4 through 6 of the Emerson Planning System: more


Mompreneurs – It Takes a Village

By Holly Reisem Hanna

I’m sure you remember Hillary Clinton’s book, “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child” where she talks about the impact and importance that individuals outside the home have on a child’s overall well-being.  I was thinking about this concept the other day when I was struggling with some website difficulties.

You see, as a mompreneur/solopreneur it’s just me that runs the show, so when there is an issue I am the one who needs to take care of it. But even though I don’t have any full-time or part-time employees working for me, I do have a village that I can call on, one that impacts me as a person and helps me to grow and nurture my business. Just because you’re a solopreneur doesn’t mean you have to travel down this path of entrepreneurship alone. Here are just a few of my village members who have an incredible impact on me and my business each day. more

How Do You Find a Legitimate Work at Home Job?

By Holly Reisem Hanna

I get emails all the time from people who are looking for legitimate work at home opportunities. I am always more than happy to assist these people with their search, and direct and guide them on how to search for legitimate work at home jobs. After giving them a bunch of leads and details, I tell them to keep in touch and let me know how their job search is gong.

I never hear back from these people.

And I can tell you, it’s not because there aren’t any legitimate work at home positions out there.

The problem is when people start their work at home search and they don’t find anything right away, they end up giving up or they get wooed by one the many get-rich-quick schemes out there and then are left with a bad taste in their mouth.

Finding a work at home job is just like any other job search, it takes a lot of time, patience and research, but if you’re willing to do the leg work, you too can reap the many benefits of working from home!

20 Work at Home Ideas for the Holidays

Holiday CashBy Holly Reisem Hanna

Every year my sister makes these beautiful hand knit scarves, I generally pick out the yarn that I like (last year it was camel-colored cashmere) and she makes me a scarf for my Christmas present. I have also bought these amazing scarves for other family members and friends who always LOVE them!

My sister-in-law on the other hand, makes gorgeous hand-beaded jewelry that she gives away to lucky family members and friends around the holiday season. My point is, when it comes to finding ways to make some extra cash this holiday season, everyone has some sort of talent or passion that they can call upon.

Need some help finding you home-based holiday cash maker?
