Hello Moms!

I hope everyone is enjoying summer vacation! This is one of the most rewarding parts of being able to work from home. Actually spending summers with our family... we really have the opportunity to help our kids create treasured memories.

Summer has it's challenges though -- let's be honest! Little kids at home means big noise at home. Getting work done can be a challenge.

Balancing family, work and housekeeping is a daunting and ongoing dance. Notice housekeeping is last on my list?! If that's a struggle for you too I highly reccomend that you check out FlyLady. I have no affiliation with her - she's just really put together a great system that helps get your life in order!

Balancing work and kids -- now that is something I can give you some advice on! A lot of women who pursue Virtual Assistance as a career option find that phone calls are inevitable! They are. It's my least favorite part of my work because it's really next to impossible to maintain a professional sounding office with children in the house.

What I have found is when there is a balance... that is, the kids don't feel like they've been last fiddle for days on end, they are much better behaved when you have to make phone calls! Come over to the FreelanceMom Blog for some of my tips on balancing work and family -- and making those dreaded phone calls!

Do you have some tips? Please share them! Either comment at the blog or post them on this forum thread we have going about balancing work and family.

Home Business Tip

Don't put all your eggs in one basket!

One of the great virtues of working from home is the ability to earn income from different places, rather then from one brick and mortar job. When you lose your brick and mortar job -- you're in trouble! Don't allow yourself to be so vulnerable working from home.

You need to continually be looking at different ways to increase your income. You might have affiliate sales, google adsense websites and a direct sales opportunity you are promoting along side your regular client work.

Make sure you nurture each of the income streams you create on a regular basis. You never know when you might find that a client forgets to pay you, or your google check is half what it was the month before! In those instances, you need to have a backup plan.

Think ahead and never get too comfortable with your current circumstances!
