Every so often, while talking to people who have expressed an interest in working from home, I hear a response like this...
"I'd really like to join your business, I'd give anything to be able to afford to get us out of this dumpy apartment and in a nice home of our own. But I have a 1 year old daughter, so I just don't have the time to build a business." SERIOUSLY? Are you seriously using your child as an excuse for not giving that child a nice, clean, safe home to live in? Your child should be your motivation, your inspiration, not your excuse! Because essentially, to me, what you're saying when you use your child as an excuse not to build your own business and secure their financial future is that your child isn't WORTH IT. My child isn't worth me giving up my favorite tv shows, losing an hour or 2 of sleep per night, getting my nose out of facebook a little, giving up girls/guys night, putting down that video game controller or trashy novel, to build a secure financial future for him/her. My child isn't worth that sacrafice, even though I know this opportunity could truly change our lives. Is that really how you feel? Don't you know that your child is WORTH IT?!? Does your child nap? Play independently? Go to school or daycare? Do you have a trusted person who can care for your child for a couple hours per day, while you work your business? Can your child not sit next to you in their own little "home office space" at the kitchen table, "working" right along side you for 20 minutes here and there? You don't have to spend 8-10 hours/day working your business. Build it part time. It may take a little longer to reach your income goals, but it will most definitely be totally WORTH IT when you DO! If you truly want to change your life, you'll make the sacrafice. It's all about priorities. So please don't use your children as an excuse. Use them as an inspiration! Do it for them, no matter the cost. They ARE worthy. To Your Success, Missy VanMeter www.facebook.com/groups/TinyHomeBigLife www.facebook.com/mdvanmeter
