It’s a fairly common desire for moms to want to be able to find work online jobs so we can make money online while staying home with our kids.
Unfortunately, the thing about finding online jobs is there are many empty promises and many scams out there. Truly, the best way to have an online job is to create your own.

Encouragement For The Mompreneur Starting A Home Business

A Repurposed Dream
I can relate to that dull ache you are feeling in your gut.
You know the one that is telling you, “There must be something more out there for me?”
Yes, you are living every stay-at-home-mother’s dream; the ability to stay at home and raise your babies and children yourself, while your loving husband is the sole breadwinner.
It has been great for a few years, but now you want more.
You feel as though you have something to share, something to contribute, something that is all your own.
But how could this be, since I am living the dream I always wanted?
Why am I feeling unfulfilled?
Yes, I have been there too!
I can’t tell you the days and weeks that I craved to experience a real ‘adult’ uninterrupted, conversation.
Just going to the store to buy groceries became an excursion for me because I knew I could chat with the cashier.
[adsense]And if I was lucky enough to add going to the bank on the same outing, then I hit the jackpot that day!
I got to speak to two people about nothing at all! I know some of you reading this article can relate and understand exactly what I mean.

But, wait! What are the next steps you ask? Here is a list for you to consider:

- Revise plan as needed ~ understand that everything does not have to go exactly as you hoped for, especially in the beginning! Modifying and practicing patience with diligence and flexibility are the true characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.

Mompreneur – Adjusting, Changing, Evolving And Growing
I have had first-hand experience with having to revamp, modify, and downright change my business plans and goals to adjust to the ever-changing, dynamic world that we currently live in.
Through my own personal struggles of discovering and defining my passion-driven focus, I came to realize that every road that has led me to my purpose was a true testament of my own well-traveled journey.
Yes, this road was bumpy at times and I did lose a lot of money along the way.
But without all of these unfortunate circumstances that I endured, I would not have grown exponentially to own my own power.
Simply put, I fired everyone and learned the process myself!
Mistakes happened, but it just added to my learning curve and boosted my confidence to try again.
Well, I think I finally got it right this time
Now, I am proud to announce my newest venture with my newly launched Parent Chat Videos YouTube Channel.
I provide free parenting tips for raising children from newborn through the college years. All the videos are created, uploaded, converted, and updated by me.
I do it all by myself and what a good feeling of accomplishment I have gained through this entire process.
Your Journey
As you grow into your own power and learn more about yourself, I can almost guarantee that your journey will be filled with excitement, anxiety, uncertainty, and a sense of accomplishment.
Yes, you need to embrace the challenges and celebrate the victories.
Amaze yourself with your ability to create a new path and achieve your highest, authentic potential.
Sorry, guilt is not invited or welcome on your journey.
Congratulations on taking that first step to designing your repurposed dream.
Believe in yourself, as I believe in you!
~ Aloha from Hawaii, Celeste.
