They are often considered “always available” by those who don’t really understand what all they accomplish in a day. A typical stay at home mom would earn over $100,000 per year if she were paid for the many things that she does throughout the day.</p><p></p><p><em><strong><span>“Kids spell T-I-M-E.”–John Crudele</span></strong></em></p><p></p><p><span>For a staying at home mom to stay on top of things she needs to organize her time wisely. She should start with the moment she gets up in the morning. Make the bed as soon as she gets out of it to save time later.</span></p><p></p><p>After making the bed, get dressed, this will help to speed the day up later on. If she has laundry she may wish to throw a load in after this. Now it’s time to get children up for school.</p><p></p><p>As she continues on throughout her day, she should be picking things up as she goes from one room to another. This will save her from having to run around hurriedly cleaning before someone comes over or hubby comes home.</p><p></p><p><a href="http://makemoneywithangelav.info/" target="_blank"><img src="http://empoweringyourvision.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/stay-home-mom.jpg?width=217" width="217" class="align-center" alt="stay-home-mom.jpg?width=217" /></a></p><p></p><p>Children as young as 3 years old can learn to help by picking up their toys. Putting their clothes into a drawer and maybe even dusting. It’s not difficult to train children to help. This will help reduce the time mom has to work at cleaning the house. Remember, it’s okay if it’s not perfect. Allowing children to help will teach them responsibility and the quality will come in time.</p><p></p><p>Focus on only one major task per day. Perhaps it’s vacuuming or washing all of the bedding. Whatever it is, it will help to reduce chaos if only one task is focused on. Mom will also feel like she’s really accomplished something at the end of the day.</p><p></p><p>Always go easy on yourself. You’re only one person. Things often happen that will throw the scheduling off so be flexible.</p><p></p><p><em><strong><span>“In bringing up children, spend on them half as much money, and twice as much time.”–Unknown Author</span></strong></em></p><p></p><p><a href="http://makemoneywithangelav.info/" target="_blank"><img src="http://empoweringyourvision.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/stay-at-home-mom1.jpg?width=240" width="240" class="align-center" alt="stay-at-home-mom1.jpg?width=240" /></a></p><p></p><p>It’s important to remember that surviving as a Stay At Home Mom is possible, and with the correct focus and time management in place, it is even possible for you to create an income from home.</p><p></p><p><strong>For more information -</strong> <a href="http://makemoneywithangelav.info/" target="_blank">Click Here!</a></p><p><a href="http://empoweringyourvision.com/dir/surviving-stay-home-mom/" target="_blank">If you enjoyed this article, please “Like and Share.”</a></p><p><strong><span>To Your Massive Success,</span></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Angela Valadez</strong></p><p></p><div class="sociable"><div class="sociable_tagline">Be Sociable, Share!</div></div></div>What do I do?

After my second baby was born, I was at home pretty much for the first year with a few temporary assignments here and there. Anyone who has children and does not work outside the home, I consider to be a 'work-at-home mom' even if you're not running a business. There is always a spill to wipe up, a butt to clean, nose to wipe, constantly checking to make sure they are within your eyesight, constantly checking when they get too quiet, keeping them occupied, playing, reading, singing, fixing food and your break is when they FINALLY take a nap unless you have those professional sleep fighters who can go toe-to-toe with taking a nap. Your home is your business and you do everything possible to make sure it runs smoothly.</p><p>I was programmed and conditioned to think that to be successful I had to work full-time, get promoted and eventually make the big-bucks. When I was ready to go to work I would scour the internet looking and looking. I applied with staffing agencies, went in for interviews and the whole 'nine.' I had landed a temporary assignment that I was initially told it would be temp-to-perm. It was perfect, it was about 10 minutes from home and I really liked the job and the people. Well, about two or three weeks I got that famous call that the assignment ended through no fault of my own. I was very disappointed, but anybody that knows me, knows that I keep it moving. So I landed another assignment, and I had done a temp assignment at this company before, so it was another perfect job. To make a long story short, I got hired on permanently and then I was laid off AGAIN! I wasn't disappointed at all! I knew there was something more for me. I enjoyed my coworkers and established some great friendships but I knew that I had to do something else!</p><p>Well after deciding that I did not want to go back into a traditional office setting again, I began to search work at home opportunities. I came across a couple of 'services' but then I thought, I don't want another JOB where I still have to punch a clock and have my schedule set for me by the company. Well, needless to say I did find four great opportunities to run my OWN business and yes it is WORK!</p><p>I think the greatest misconceptions is 'oh it's easy you can do what you want, went you want, work a couple of hours or none at all' Well that is true, but in ANY business, if you want to be successful at it, you are going to put in more than a couple of hours a day working on it. Whether you are doing research on how to promote and network or promoting and networking. Another misconception is 'it's a scam, I'm not going to pay for a job.' Well there are many scams out there, I remember being younger and I came across this so-called envelope stuffing work at home job. Pay 49.95 and make $5,000 a month. Yeah, that didn't work out. Of course this was before the world-wide-web where you could do extensive research, get reviews, etc. So, yes, you MUST do your research! Second, if you are operating a home based business, it's a BUSINESS, a FRANCHISE so to speak. So you are not paying for a JOB, you are paying for a BUSINESS. If you wanted a McDonald's franchise, there would be start-up costs, training, insurance, interviewing your staff, hiring, budgeting, products to buy, advertising, promotions, network, marketing etc. and you would more than like spend WAY MORE than more home-based business start-up fees. I'm usually 'working' from the time I get up into the 'wee' hours of the night. I'm responsible for writing my own checks so I know that through faith, perseverance, and hard work, my reward will bring a smile to my face.</p><p> It takes work! You can't base your success off someone else's success; you must work had to achieve your OWN success. Find what works for YOU! We are all scientists in a lab. We mix different components to come up with different formulas to see which ones work and what doesn't. Even when we find what works, sometimes we have to tweak those formulas down the road. I finally realized why my jobs didn't last. God was pushing me into something greater and everything up until this point was training ground. It was time to put my training into action. I had an entrepreneurial spirit in me all along, I just had to take that leap of faith and start doing. It's a process; I'm still learning and growing, taking in as much information as possible without my brain frying or my eyes crossing. But the rewards are phenomenal! I don't have to wake up at 8:00 and say 'oh my goodness I'm late for work!' I don't have to figure out what to wear, what to do with my hair, transportation, buying lunch or taking lunch. I can take a long break and nobody asks where I've been. I can be on my computer all day and nobody asks what I am doing. I don't have to worry about schedule changes, pay cuts, working to hopefully, maybe, possibly get a raise. I love the freedom I have and will continue to have because I intend to keep working hard.</p><p>I don't knock anyone that loves his job. We need them. I'm no better than a person who works outside the home. We need the doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, surgeons, transportation workers, delivery truck drivers, cashiers, cab drivers, computer techs, airline workers just to name a few. Everybody plays a part in this world. We all have different talents, callings and gifts and when we use them, everybody is helped in some kind of way.</p><p>If you're thinking about a home-based business, do your research and when you find something that you know is a good fit, be prepared to WORK! You worker harder for yourself than you will for someone else, but YOU will be the one enjoying the fruits of YOUR labor.</p><p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Until next time, Be Blessed, Be Inspired, Be Encouraged, Be Positive, Be Grateful!</strong></span></p></div>Momisms - Things Your Mother Told Youhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/momisms-things-your-mother-told-you2013-02-14T18:30:00.000Z2013-02-14T18:30:00.000ZCarolyn Almennigenhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/CarolynAlmennigen<div><p><br /> I'm glad you liked the first part of my book.
