Starting an at-home business was EASY. I figured out the paperwork and legal requirements. Bookkeeping has not been too challenging. I have learned about marketing and networking as I have went along. Can you guess what the biggest challenge was (and still is)? Entertaining my young children while I work!
A work-at-home mom can never have too many ideas on how to buy herself some time. So imagine how elated I was yesterday when I came across this fantastic post on Sparkplugging.com.
There are some great, new ideas I have not thought of (like, there is nothing wrong with your toddler taking three baths in one day while you huddle on the bathroom floor with your laptop!).
By the way, Sparkplugging is starting a new tradition called ‘Spark an Idea Thursday’. Each week they will share some great ideas for a topic of interest to their readers. You can participate by grabbing the logo and adding it into your own blog post on your own blog following the theme of the week.
Sparkplugging is an essential resource for Web 2.0 entrepreneurs like yourself, and the new General Editor is none other than our own Kelly McCausey. Read Kelly’s announcement here.
