If you are thinking about starting a work at home business, you might be concerned about a lot of things, including your long-term income and job security. That’s understandable, and a real concern, at least in the first few months.
But don’t overlook the upside, either. Here are five reasons working at home can make you a better mom:
You’ll get more time to spend with your kids. Of course, this is the reason a lot of women decide to work at home in the first place, but it’s worth mentioning.
You’ll have more patience and energy. Doing what you love, and being your own boss, wears you down a lot less than working in the traditional corporate environment. These benefits definitely pay off as a parent.
The schedule is a lot more flexible. You can set up your business to work as many hours as you want… or as few. Plus, the vacation plan can’t be beat.
You might earn more money. A lot of work at home moms are surprised to find that, without a ceiling on their income, they are able to exceed what they had made in the past, or hoped to make being self-employed.
You teach your kids to take control of their own futures. As parents, we all have to lead by example. And what better example to set than starting your own business?
