Tighten the belt? Ugh.

A job is ONE WAY to create income…but it isn’t the only way. On This Little Parent Stayed Home Radio, we teach you how to prioritize kids and home…without losing that second income.

Investments? If you are over 30, time becomes an issue. A business of your own? Yes! Your own business could make the difference between sinking or swimming in today’s economy. It could be a part-time, home-based venture. And more money means more options, more freedom, and more FUN!

Case studies of other mom business leaders who solved problems capitalizing on their interests:

Going Big! Sarah Blakey of Spanx, Debbie Fields of Mrs. Fields, Anita Roddick of the Body Shop

Staying Small! Kris Whitenberg of BeGoodToPeople.com, Dawn Gluskin of SolTec Electronics. And, the classics…day care, baked items, jewelry, etc.

Think it, ink it, test it, and change it!

One of my favorite Mom Business experts, Ellen Rohr, will be returning to the show to share a few fast-to-cash business ideas that you can start quickly and be cash-flowing right away. Think small to get BIG.
