Working at home can be a great way to make money while still spending precious time with your family. Many people wish they could do this, because not only does it save time to spend with your family, it also can save money in some instances. Right from the beginning they will be spending less on gas for their vehicle and saving money by not having to send children to daycare. So if so many people wish to work at home, why aren't more people doing it?
One possible reason that not everyone works from home could be that they just don't know what they could do from home. It is rather unlikely that a current boss would let you work your current job from home, but it might be worth a shot to ask. Sometimes employers allow their new mothers to work at home for a while after the baby is born. However, if you are not a new mother then you probably have to find some other way of bringing in a home income. There are lots of ways, but the best way to decide what to do from home is to decide what you are interested in, and what kind of business you want to set up. If you prefer less structure, you might consider setting up a business all on your own based on one of your current interests. There are many different things that can be done this way, from pet-walking to freelance writing to catering. Another option to work at home is to start an already existing business, such as selling products or services from a reputable company.
One of the easiest avenues for starting a work at home income is through the Internet. There are many, many different home business opportunities through it. Starting an Internet business is one of the easier and cheaper ways to start a home business, because many of the ways to make money through the Internet take little or no start-up capital. Choosing an Internet business does not have to be hard, however, it is important to watch out for scams, as there are a lot hidden under seemingly legitimate businesses. The best way to avoid these is by researching anything you are interested in doing from the Internet. Some of the easiest ways to make money through the Internet are: affiliate marketing, where companies pay you to put their ad on your site; paid surveys, where you take research surveys and the companies pay for that; and freelance blogging, where a company pays you to write a blog on certain subjects for them. Each of these ways is simple to carry out, and does not take much time. However, the amount of time spent on a job is directly proportionate to the amount of income received from it, so keep that in mind when choosing your business.
There really are a lot of ways to work at home and make money doing it. In general, any business you start yourself will probably have the best payout in the end, however, that is not to say that any already established business will not give you any income either. Whatever method you choose to make income from home will help you free up your life for the truly important things.

Can't Have Your Cake And Eat It Too
Not long ago ?bringing home the bacon? was the father's role but now working mothers are ?bringing home the bacon? too. Today, 50% of the mothers in our country (with children living at home) are working full time and most experience the stress of trying to balance it all especially when it comes to parenting. Sound familiar?
The Only Way Working Mothers Can Have It All
Although working mothers bring home some of the bacon (and if you are a single mother all of the bacon), it hasn't changed the fact that most working mothers are literally cooking the bacon too.
In The Widening Gap: Why American Working Families are in Jeopardy and What Can Be Done About, Dr Jody Heymann found that 80% of women report doing far more of the household chores than their spouse. In addition to taking on more chores, it is common for working mothers to have unrealistic expectations of themselves?parenting perfectly and being the perfect career woman also.
When asked if it is possible for working mothers to have it all, I always answer, ?Yes. It is possible for working mothers to have it all but only when they ask for and accept help.?
The trouble is most working mothers have difficulty doing this?asking for help.
Preventing Working Mother Parenting Burnout
Even though most moms know it take a village to raise a child, most mothers don't ask their village for help. This puts undue pressure on moms and their families.
Three simple ways mothers can ask for help and prevent parenting burnout:
Parenting is a big job in and of itself. Get real. You can't do it all, by yourself. Realize that the best thing you can do for your family is to ask for help. Burning your candle at both ends only leads to burnout parenting!
Graciously accept help. When someone asks if they can help you, always answer ?yes? and then figure out how. Let others in your life, especially your children and spouse, help you more. Remember to thank them and focus on what they did well so they will want to help you in future.
Find ways to farm out the things you don't like to do. Don't like to iron? Consider sending them to the cleaner and use this extra time to focus on your family. Don't like to clean but love to cook? Trade chores with household members or with a girlfriend who loves to do the things you don't.
How Mothers Can Focus on the Family and Get Their Work Done
The day you die your inbox will have messages unanswered, your laundry hamper will hold dirty clothes and your to do list will have items left incomplete. But on that day, will you look back and feel that your focus on the family was a fulfilling parenting journey, or sadly realize it had become a chore you felt you had to do?
Make certain your focus on the family is satisfying by choosing to balance your work and family by finally hanging up your ?Super Mom? cape and letting others help you.
