Ten Emerging Home Businesses For Family-Focused Women - Familyvision Column
Are you a Working Mom who wants to work at home, or a Stay-at-Home Mom who wants to work from home? In the 21st century, this dream can be reality. Strangely enough, some women have been trying to have it all. This marks the clash. You have mothers who focus on the primary care of their families while delaying their personal dreams. You have the mothers who have dedicated their lives to their careers while compromising the stability of their families. In the middle, there are millions of mothers who attempt to do it all out of necessity and attempt to chase the great American Dream.
The Problem
According to the 2005 Census Report, there are 82.5 million mothers in the United States. There were 10 million single mothers living with children under 18 years old. Working Moms made up 55 percent of mothers with infants. In contrast, there were 5.4 million Stay-at-Home Moms in 2003. As a result of working mothers, there are over 2 million preschoolers in daycare while their mothers are working. Should mothers work? This debate continues to gain momentum as Americans witness the moral fabric being torn apart. Feminists celebrate the liberations of working moms while traditionalists postulate the merits of home-bound mothers for institutional stability. Some mothers have tried to maintain a healthy balance of work and family life, but this balancing act leaves many burnt out. Some Stay-at-Home Mothers have attempted to work at home, but many times find themselves the victims of home-business scams. We have researched this matter and offer these mothers another viable option. We have seen this trend coming. Faith Popcorn, the author of the Popcorn Report, broadcasted this phenomenon at least a decade ago. People want to stay home where they are both comfortable and safe. Technology has given women more choices. Giving mothers a vital business from home provides a very reasonable solution.
Protection Against Scams
Everybody wants to promote easy ways to get rich quick from your home. Individuals need to be careful of scams. Paul and Sarah Edwards, authors of The Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century, explain, Your existing skills, aptitudes, and experience may ideally qualify you for many of them [home-based businesses]. Some businesses, however, require certain skills and experience that you may need to pick up by taking some course work or working for a period of time. Home-based businesses will probably increase a persons work week, not decrease it. However, the flexibility of a home-based business is attractive to parents with children. Owning your own business is tough. We have our own business. You need to conduct marketing, contact clients, and do administrative work. Operating a home-based business from the Internet can provide financial long-term sustainability. Can you afford not to think about it before its too late? You can, however, start to take action.
