Every day moms are juggling their need to earn income
with their desire to be with their children. They want
to enjoy their babies and snuggle their young ones
through the day but often have to say good-bye so they
can head out to earn a paycheck. Staying at home
without an income is not usually an option - so working
at home becomes the dream.
With a goal to provide high value, low cost resources
and services that help these moms achieve dreams of
working at home, Kelly publishes a variety of blogs,
podcasts, ebooks and audio products along with a weekly
newsletter that reaches 6000+ moms.
Her passion for moms who need to make extra money comes
from her own years of financial struggle.
After a short marriage Kelly started life as a single
mom with a two year old and a few thousand dollars in
credit card debt. Everything seemed to go downhill from
there.
In her own words...
I never had enough money. I was always struggling to
cover a utility bill and when I did get some sort of
windfall it usually went to fix my old car or take care
of a crisis. It was two steps forward, three steps
back.
I remember one year where I was really starting to get
my head above water and a serious wind storm pushed
three big trees over - enough to put my home in danger
but not far enough to make them touch the house. That
meant they had to be taken down but my homeowners
insurance wouldn't pay. It was awful to hand over a
thousand dollars of my hard earned money to the tree
service company.
At that point, I think I sunk into an attitude that
nothing would ever change for me. I would always be in
debt and never be able to do the things I wanted to. But
that wasn't true.
In 2002 I started to look for ways to make money at
home. I launched a desktop publishing business and
created my own website to market it. This opened a door
that led to a whole new world for me and six years
later, my life is completely changed."
Through learning and applying principles of internet
marketing - then teaching it to others - I've been able
to dig myself out of debt, quit my day job and live life
on my own terms, all the while homeschooling my son.
Being a web based entrepreneur gives me a lot of freedom
and that's what I want to share with other moms. It
isn't all about making a lot of money. Money is nice
but choices are better.
Last year I chose to sell my house and move closer to
family. When my sister's daughter became pregnant with
quadruplets I reduced my business hours and devoted the
next 12 months to helping out while she was on bedrest
and taking the night shift with the babies so mom and
dad could get some sleep. My income never dipped during
this time and my son was part of it all.
My son turned 18 in 2008. He'll be home with me for a
couple more years at least but my role as a mom has
changed. Soon I'll be able to travel and do some of the
things that got put on hold all these years.
I used to wonder if when the time came I would feel less
of a passion for moms - but now that it's here I can say
for sure that it hasn't.
I love helping other moms build businesses that give
them more choices and fewer limits - because I know that
translates into more snuggles and fewer good-byes.
