Stay at Home Moms

Label:


This battle has been taking place since the late 70's and has been heating up for quite sometime.
Of course there are the "professionals" and their studies that point to the advantages of both sides. But let's be real...cite one study and I'll show you one that contradicts it. So who's right and who's wrong?

I'll let you in on a little secret, look in the mirror! The person looking back is the one who's right. Don't ever forget that.

Simply look at this social issue logically. You're the mother, the parent, and if you are part of a relationship, a wife or partner. From the moment your child was born, even though that precious little baby didn't come with an instruction booklet, he or she did come with a gift. The gift comes in the form of the innate sense that you have which tells YOU above anyone else, that you know what is best for your child. Parents, not psychologists, not CEO's, not educators or Phd's with the latest statistics know what your child needs.

Sure, when making a decision you should always perform due diligence. Parents should always weigh in both sides and gather information when contemplating the tough issues that affect their kids. But the good news is, with the advent of the internet and the vast amount of opportunities available to women and men to work from home, this choice may be more black and white than what all of the rhetoric has made out to be.

Remember when we talked about that "innate sense" that you have within you regarding your child? Guess what, no one has it for your baby like you. And your baby has a built in trust that you know just what she needs. Your Nanny or Day Care provider can perform a service and do their job, but your child NEEDs you. No amount of money can buy that built in voice that tells you what your son wants when he cries or what motivates your daughter to learn her alphabet. Mom knows, and she knows best! So stop undermining yourself and your ability to do right by your child.

The good news is, you can have both! You don't have to stop working to stay at home. Now, if you have an infant, then no one would expect you to just charge out there and start a business in between trying to remember your name from the lack of Z's that you've had lately. But when your baby develops a good sleep pattern and you can actually get on some type of schedule, staying home and working from home is a viable solution to this debate between stay at home moms vs. working mom's. And in the long run, the whole family will benefit.

Maybe you have a special skill or hobby that you can draw from to start a business. Perhaps you want to work online, or maybe work out of your home. Many moms are scared because they are afraid that if they give up their career, they will loose out on things like social security or re-entry into the work force when the kids are grown.

Look at the tax advantages of having a home based business, they are pretty appealing. You can also open an individual IRA, check with your financial institution about these types of options. Taking care of yourself means you are also taking care of your family.
Personally, the decision to walk away from an executive level job for my children to become a stay at home mom has not been without it's challenges. But now that they are 13, 11 and 9 I have begun to see the many rewards that came from that choice. Frankly, I can not begin to imagine missing out on their childhood and each and every moment that I could never get back if I would have went "away" to the office every day.

Beauty Salon Business Plans

Label:



Beauty salons have emerged as a competitive business. A good business plan, therefore, plays a key role in the success of a salon. Beauty salon business plans are necessary if a person wants to expand his beauty salon business or is going to start a new salon.

A good beauty salon business plan gives an appropriate idea regarding the plan for the business's growth. Moreover, a well-formulated business plan helps a lot in seeking potential investors. A company with growth potential is always a safer investment than one that functions in a no-profit, no-loss situation.
Just planning the business is not enough; business plan writing is also an essential aspect. You should seek the help of a specialist to write a winning business plan that can give you that extra edge. A business plan must contain the market and competitor information. A good hair salon business plan must outline details such as scheduling color, nail, cut and styling appointments. It must take into account the latest trends in cutting, blowing, drying, and selling hair care products.

A beauty salon business plan is a stepping stone for the employees and management, as it provides a clear outlook of the company's plans for the future. The beauty salon business plan also allows you to determine the budget needed for the daily operating costs. One can judge one's company's position in the market through this plan.

There are many firms offering software packages for a beauty salon business plan. Some even provide free gifts along with the package. One can easily download a fully completed beauty salon business plan from the Internet. A fully completed plan can easily prepare accountant-endorsed financial forecasts and plan, thereby eliminating potential errors. A few third-party software packages do not take responsibility for the content or accuracy of the software.

5 Ways to Make Money Online While Working From Home

Label:


Let's get straight to the point, you are reading this article because you want to know how to make money online while working from home. Therefore, you are going to need to know two things:

1.) What legitimate ways there are to make money online

2.) What to watch out for to avoid being scammed

In this article I am going to tell you exactly that. First, I am going to give you 5 legitimate ways to make money online. Second, I am going to give you two tips that if you follow will prevent you from being scammed.

5 Legitimate Ways To Make Money Online While Working From Home

Online Surveys: This is a great business model for those of you out there that are only looking for a little extra money while working from home. I am not going to lie to you; this is a very difficult business model to make money with. The idea behind this business model is that big companies will pay you to take survey's that will take you 20-40 min a piece to complete.
The problem with this model is that it is very difficult to find these paid survey opportunities and that most of them only pay a couple of dollars. However, if you have some time on your hands and want a little extra money this might be for you.

Affiliate Marketing: Very simply put, affiliate marketing is when you sell someone else's product and then get a paid a commission for doing so. The advantages to this are that you don't need a website or e-mail list. The disadvantages are that it is sometimes hard to find a product that well sell, and you are only get paid a percentage of the purchase price. However, this is the way I would recommend beginners start to make money online. It is the easiest, and requires the lowest investment. I would make sure and seek out some affiliate marketing training though to get you started.

Network Marketing: For those of you that don't know what network marketing is, it is the business model that Amway was based off of. In effect, you make money when people purchase products directly from you (instead of say....Wal-Mart) and when you recruit people and teach them to do the same. It is an old business model and can be a big profit center for the right individual.

The type of person that is going to be good at network marketing is the "social butterfly". The person who is always talking and loves meeting new people. The reason for this is that you will need to talk to a LOT of people about your business to recruit them. So naturally, the more people you talk to, the more that will buy products from you, and hence sell the products for you.

Creating Your Own Product: Creating your own product requires by far the most setup, but it is also the most rewarding. This is not a business model I would recommend for beginners looking to make money online while working from home. When creating your own product you need to develop your own website, sales cart, and product. All of these things take time and can cost you a lot of money to pay someone else to do if you don't know what you're doing.
The business model itself is exactly what the name implies. You create your own product, market it, and then sell it online. Sound easy right?? Again, great potential, hard to setup.

eBay: This is an oldie but a goodie, because everyone can do it! Selling things on e-bay involves setting up an e-bay account and then searching your house for anything that might be valuable to someone else but isn't to you. Sure there is a learning curve in setting up your ad postings on eBay but it is relatively low compared to other ways to make money online.
This business model is a great choice for people who have a lot of what could be valuable items and need some short term cash flow.

Two Ways To Ensure You Don't Get Scammed
Now that you know the most popular ways to make money online, it is now time to make sure you don't jump in and get scammed. With the economy the way it is right now there are more scams than ever, especially online. So here are couple of things you can do to make sure it doesn't happen to you:

1.) Don't ever purchase anything online before doing a Google search for "Products Name Review" 'This will give you a listing of hundreds of people that have already tried this product, and if a good number of people say it is a scam.....it probably is! So read the reviews that come up on Google and make sure you read more than just one.

2.) Get rid of the "Get Rich Quick" mentality. It doesn't happen online despite what you might have heard. Most of the time when people get scammed it is because they have a "Get Rich Quick" mentality. Don't do it, and don't have it, because that is EXACTLY what most of the scammers target market is. If something sounds too good to be true, it is!

These two choices are not only good for newcomers but are also very popular. These are the work from home typing jobs and the paid survey programs.

When it comes to completing surveys as part of the work from home ideas you will find that there are always surveys to take. The best part is that there is no limit to the amount of money that you can make with this. The way that this is done is just to sign up with the appropriate companies and have companies ask you for your opinions about things.

Are You a Healthy Woman? Check Again

Label:



Your medical exam results are always effortlessly perfect and you see to it you have yourself checked every year. Diet and exercise is on your everyday agenda and yeah you do practice safe sex - except for that one time. You think you are healthy enough and that everything is in tip top shape but there could be a few spots you're missing. Allow me to enumerate them for you and guide you as well on how to change these behaviors.
  1. You're either the office gal or the party animal, so yes your wardrobe has the typical tight fitting jeans, pantyhose without the cotton crotch, nylon panties or anything that would hold in heat, moisture and restrict airflow. You may not know it but these contribute to yeast infections or worse - vaginitis - which cause you to have painful urination or even pain during sexual intercourse.
  2. Just because you go see your gynecologist for a Pap smear every year and you perform a self breast exam every month doesn't guarantee that you have nothing to worry about. Every woman aged 20 and above needs a comprehensive physical exam every 1 to 2 years to screen for health conditions such as heart problems or diabetes.
  3. So you forgot to tell your partner to wear a condom that one time? It wouldn't do you any harm like it was just one time, right? One time unprotected sex could lead you to a sexually transmitted disease that include HIV or hepatitis. If you aren't in a monogamous relationship then do make sure you always let your partner use a condom or save him the trouble by being prepared with a pack of condoms yourself. Birth control pills or spermicides do not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases, only from unwanted pregnancy.
  4. Osteoporosis is the leading cause of morbidity in women aside from heart diseases, so make sure you get the adequate amount of calcium your body needs. Cut out the martinis and opt for a glass of fresh milk instead before you go to bed or even as a replacement for that cup of coffee you gulp down on the way out to office in the morning. Calcium is a vital nutrient throughout a woman's life, so make sure you get a daily dose of it.
  5. Stressed? Rather than picking up that lighter and smoking your lungs out, opt for breathing techniques instead or grab that stress ball and squeeze on it a few times. You may think smoking eases the stress but the chemicals in one stick are enough to cause you more health problems than you know.
  6. Hitting the gym once a week may do good but jogging every day for even at least 30 minutes will do you better. Engaging in regular physical activities will reduce the risks of heart diseases, cancer, diabetes and PMS.
  7. Every one of us is guilty about the one time we went out to grab a bite to eat but ended up eating a bit too much. Overeating will lead to weight gain. This not only leads to weight gain but to diseases such as heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes and even gallstones. Eat all meals in moderation and if you get the urge to binge, grab a cup of yogurt or an apple instead. It's healthier plus it'll satiate your hunger.
  8. Remember me mentioning stress? Well, if you know you've already reached your limit then don't over exert yourself. Go ahead and take a break. You deserve it and your body does too.
