I have added another business to my site!

Well, as time goes on, I find more and more things I like to get into. I love getting discounts and I've found a way to save up to 70% on my travel costs, even for local attractions!

The way I am doing this is through Unselfish Wealth. It is an easy system and it encourages people to help each other and not just every man or woman for themself. It's an easy business where the people above you will work to advertise your site link as well as theirs! Each person only needs 4 referrals. And, if you don't know 4 people who would like to save on travel, they will "give" you referrals! You can't beat that for team work.

If you would like to learn more, simply take the FREE TOUR at http://unselfishwealth.com/?id=20734 and you can get started today!

I can't wait to keep you updated on how it goes!

How to choose a work at home biz

As a work at home mom, I am always looking for new ideas and businesses that will not only make money, but will work into my schedule and help my family as well. And, anytime you are looking for ways to work from home, you get bombarded with literally thousands of ideas and companies. How do you know what to choose? How can you wade through all the hype and figure out what will work best for you?

One of the main concerns people have with home businesses are the start up costs. Why do I have to pay to work from home? The answer is, you don't. If you are simply looking for a work at home "job", then you should NEVER pay for information or to work for a company.

BUT, if you are looking at a work at home business, then you will have to incur some start up costs. Most of the home based businesses today have a "kit" or "starter pack" that you can purchase that will give you all the information, paperwork and sometimes even products that you will need for your business. They cannot give all of that stuff for free, so there must be a "cost" to the business owner. Let's face it. If you just wanted to clean houses for other people, you would still have costs of gas and cleaning supplies.

Now, one of the best reasons for having a home based business is the tax benefits. You can deduct the cost of supplies, business kits, websites, internet, etc., as these are a "cost" of doing your business. The more expenses you can use to offset your income, the less you will have to pay in taxes. Even when your business is profitable, you can still look like you earn less because of all the deductions you are allowed to take for your business.

If you are someone who loves to travel and would like to have a home business and receive up to 70% off on travel, take a look at Unselfish Wealth at http://unselfishwealth.com/?id=20734. This is a newer company with a great concept of helping others instead of only helping yourself. My next post will be more indepth information on Unselfish Wealth.

Have a great and profitable day!

School starts in 2 days!

Ah, the end of summer vacation! My 3 boys will tell you they are not ready for school to start, but their actions tell me something different. After all of this "together" time, I believe they are ready to head back to school to see their "school" friends. We have had a busy summer of friends and swimming and outings to our local amusement park, but in all honestly we are all ready for school and the fun things that come with fall.

What does this mean for me, a work at home mom? It means I will have time to focus more on my businesses again. I will be able to have a better routine. They will board the big yellow bus for school and I will be able to work until the bus comes back in the afternoon. Then work time will be over and it will be time for homework and dinner.

As much fun as the summer has been, we are ALL ready to get back to our routine. I hope the first day goes well!
