I've realized over recent months that moms rarely do enough soul
searching and research before jumping into a home business. To help
you dig deep and give this the careful consideration that it deserves,
I have three 'must ask questions' for you. Before you make a
decision, especially before you spend any money on an idea – sit down
with a pad of paper and do some journaling on each question. Then,
if you're married, take these questions and your thoughts to your
husband and talk about all of it.

When I first started my Internet business I had a goal to earn money from home like everyone else. I had a few skills that I felt were marketable and I launched my website with high hopes and the smallest budget any man or woman has ever started with: Zero.

I get this question a lot from my listeners and readers. The easy answer has to be Yes, you can, but, I usually like to find out a little more about the person before I start handing out easy answers.

What is your current income?

I’m a huge fan of Scott Stratten (UnMarketing.com) and I
loved his recent rant about ‘looking the part’ in business.
(On BizSlap.com.) If you haven’t been there yet to listen,
you should definitely do that before you read any farther.
I wouldn’t be a good Mom if I didn’t warn you in advance
that he uses a colorful expletive that you won’t want kids
to hear – so slip on the headphones or make sure little ears
are in another room.
