Work from home business opportunties at Women's Work - For women who mean business, visit this site offering info and resources about work at home business opportunities and other work from home options for flexible careers or part-time job opportunities.
Having been self employed for the last 7-8 years has allowed me freedoms that I never had while working for someone else. I have been very blessed with the people in my life and the opportunities I’ve had (and still have!) I donate regularly to a couple of "favorite" charities, but the best feeling has been donating my "time".
My home based business provides me even more flexibility. (What’s the saying - now I choose which 12 hours of the day I want to work!) If you’ve read the "About Me" section on this site or my other sites, you might know that I drive for Meals on Wheels every week, and have been doing so for close to 2 years. My route consists of delivering 16 meals, and for the most part my "clients" have been the same people all along. The majority of them are elderly women whose husbands have passed away and they either don’t drive anymore or have no desire to shop and cook for one person.
They are full of stories and memories just waiting to be asked about. Many of their families live out of the area, and I might be the only person they see that day. A route that may take other drivers about an hour to do takes me easily double that, as I spend at 10-15 minutes talking with each of them. I’ve gotten to know a few of them pretty well, and my family teases me about bringing them home for Thanksgiving - which we host for 25+ people already!
I always look forward to Wednesdays, and being able to give back to our community. One of these days I plan to get more involved, but for now it feels good to contribute where and when I can.
I’d love to hear about any volunteer activities you might be involved in - pay it forward!
Until next time, J.

Did you know that 1 in 8 households include a home business ? Did you know that even Fortune Magazine is saying, "Forget the paycheck; your W-2 days are over. It’s a 1099 world now."
While some keep watching CNN (Constantly Negative News ) others are making a great living working from home and recession proofing their income . The days of working in traditional jobs for numerous years only to be downsized because of outsourcing or economy issues are changing many of the populations’ mindset. We’re not as trusting as our parents generation, mainly because we’ve seen the rug pulled out from people too frequently.
Economist Paul Zane Pilzer says, "We’re in the midst of a boom in home-based businesses, and it shows no sign of slowing ."
Technology makes it easier to work from anywhere now. Combined with the desire for greater financial opportunities, a more balanced lifestyle and creating your own security - you may also want to consider joining the revolution !

Many individuals are involved with Wealth Masters Int’l purely for educational purposes - to use the alliances in place and shore up their financial foundation . Others are involved to expand their knowledge base and learn how and why the rich invest the way they do and even be exposed to some of those opportunities. Then another group sees the Big Picture and wants to share this information with others and have chosen to do so via online marketing. The truth is some would have more success face to face. So WMI is introducing for its consultants, "CSP", Consultant Seminar Program - a turnkey program that can be presented in the same fashion, with the same message, all over the world.
The seminars will cover topics such as financial planning, debt elimination, and wealth creation . There aren’t too many of us who can’t use more information on these topics, especially these days!
If you’d like to know how to attend one of these FREE seminars in your area drop me a note

I’ve taken on a Personal Development project to create a short series of videos on frustrations and challenges, addressing why career changes are sought out and some challenges when they are made. A final video will recap the benefits of creating the first 10. These can be found on YouTube as well if you’d like to subscribe.
Here’s number 9……
