“Should I work from home?”
After adding up the cost of childcare, transportation, convenience items, and not to mention lost time with the kids, moms often wonder if working outside the home is really worth it. One brave woman at creativehome.com totaled the cost and realized her salary had been reduced to a mere $3.80 per hour (see her story, and her detailed costs, here).
Facing those numbers can be discouraging. If she can’t afford to work and she can’t afford to not work, what’s a savvy woman to do?
With the accessibility of email, Google, and social media, it has never been easier to get the best of both worlds by starting a home-based business. Not a shady, virtual Ponzi scheme, but a legitimate business through direct sales, commissions, or a low-investment franchise.
The idea of starting an at-home business can feel overwhelming at best, if not downright impossible. Where does one begin?
The Milwaukee Home Business Expo will present informational seminars throughout the day. Representatives from the Milwaukee Bar Association will discuss tax law for home business owners as well as the legal process of starting a business. All expo attendees are eligible to enter a FREE hourly raffle drawing to win work-from-home business tools.
Come to the show with a notebook and an open mind. And bring a friend – or better yet, bring your spouse (a supportive spouse is the secret of many successful entrepreneurs). Advance tickets are available online at the buy-one-get-one-free rate of $10 for two.
If you have any questions about the nitty-gritty of home-business life, feel free to ask at http://formspring.me/homebizexpo. Next week, we’ll share some practical advice about how to approach the work-at-home life right here on My Milwaukee Mommy. Until then, check out http://MilwaukeeHBE.com for information about next weekend’s show.
