1. Big Savings On Daycare Costs
According to the Children's Defense Fund and Runzheimer
International parents are paying an average of $250 to $1,250
monthly for daycare. A mother who is making about $20,000 a year
will probably find that she is really only bringing home only
$5000 a year once all the additional costs of her working are
figured in. Some moms are actually loosing money each month by
working outside the home.
2. No More Bosses Giving You the Stink Eye For Not Working Due
To Kid Issues
There's nothing worse when your daycare provider tells you that
your kid is sick and they can't watch them because of it. So
there you go, having to take time off work as your boss and
coworkers resent you and your chances of promotion becomes
slimmer and slimmer because you can't be counted on all the
time.
3. No Commuting
No more commuting when you work from home. No long drives, bad
traffic, added expenses for car upkeep (car upkeep costs about
$250 a month on average). You can simply wake up in the morning
and walk a few feet to your home office.
4. Savings on Lunches Out and Work Clothes
Between eating out and buying uniforms or clothes for work (even
if you don't have to wear a uniform) you are looking at paying
about $145 a month. Nice thing about working at home and being
your own boss is you can decide what you want to wear to work.
5. More Flexibility
There are field trips to go on, sport programs to get the kids
to, exercise classes, family that needs extra care at times that
goes on in a moms life. Working at home offers the flexibility
that is needed to do all these small things that add up and make
a huge difference in everyone's life - including your own.
6. The Ability To Start A Business Doing Something You Love
The ability to be a work-at-home mom is the best gift you could
ever give yourself, for so many reasons. The big one though is
being able to create a home business around something you really
like and enjoy doing. You shouldn't have to hate your job or the
way you make money. This is the perfect opportunity to finally
put your interests and talents to good use, and make money from
them.
7. Make As Much or As Little Money as You Want
Being the owner of your own business you can decide if you can
work full or part time. This can depend a lot on the age of your
children and how much you can dedicate to your business.
8. To Be Able To Say "I Own My Own Business"
When you can say, "I own my own business" this is very
empowering. As something Emeril might say, "It definitely kicks
the self-confidence level up a notch or two."
9. Kids Can Learn How a Business Works
Your kids can learn first hand how a business runs. There will
have no problem answering any questions like, "So what does your
mommy do." Kids become very proud of their work-at-home moms.
They love the fact their moms are there for them, and that it
makes mom happy to make money doing something she loves.
10. To Be In Control Of Your Own Destiny
Work at something you love to do, have the flexibility to work
around your families schedule, wear what you want to work and
becoming the person you are supposed to be. These are all ways
that you can have control of your own destiny.
