Looking to stay at home with sons
I am looking for an honest, work-from-home career in order to be able to stay home with my sons. However, every internet search I have come across only offers to "sell" me information to their success. I am not looking for get-rich-quick schemes. I am not giving my credit card information on -line to someone I don't trust. And, I am certainly not investing money in something I am not sure is going to work. In fact, if I am looking for something to earn money, why is it that I have to first put money into it? I am not interested in inventory and having to go door-to-door. I have done that before - takes alot of time, alot of energy, and alot of investment. I can't do that. My time, energy, and money are too precious to lose.
Looking for any ideas--honest ideas!

Hi there, I'm sorry I don't know your name... but I totally understand what you are saying. I think you have come to the right place! There are many scams out there for sure. I watched Tori Johnson on Good Morning America and she gave a whole list of things to look for in scams - many of which you already mentioned.
Here are some suggestions for you to help you in your "hunt".
1) First decide what you like to do. This is SO important to match the business you're in with your personal values and likes.
2) Look at your home business as a "new career". You will learn new skills to make your business successful. Surround yourself with supportive people. Usually it's family members who will squash your enthusiasm first by not believeing your business will succeed. Be open to learning new things and don't give up. Avoid the naysayers! They're usually just fearful of taking the plunge!
3)Research your company! How long have they been sround, what are there business packages? Training? Can you become a customer first to try the products? It's a good idea to do that because you want to like and know first hand what you're promoting. That's how I got started.
4)Learn, learn, learn about everything possible that will make you a success
5) Most network marketing companies should offer a range of packages for you to choose from.
6)Any business is a people business first, not product. So, if you don't like working with people....ut oh ...
7) Realize starting a business will require some financial investment. You will be the judge of how much. But, this is an investment that could change your life.
There are so many great businesses out there: scrapbooking, health and wellness, personal development, travel, fuel alternatives. You can also do a search for network marketing businesses, and also look for the Direct Marketing Association, I think that's what it's called. This is an association that network business need to/should join for company credibility. Also check out the company you are interested in the Better Business B---- (can't spell it) LOL!
My best,
Lesly :-)

Hi Laura,
Nice to meet you! Well, I have 2 social networking businesses. Shaklee and Success University. Both of these complement my coaching business.
Shaklee is a health and wellness company, over 50 years old and has a wide range of products, earth friendly, natural, anti-aging, etc.
Success University is an online educational program for people who want to improve their lives through learning about: business, relationships, spirituality, marketing, sales, and so on. When you become a student you have access to all kinds of courses by audio, video, and text. You can take tests and receive achievement awards. Then every month you get a "Power Pack" of educational, motivational information on CDs and DVDs in the mail. Kind of like a book club. I like both of these.
There are all kinds of businesses out there! Thanks for asking! Tell me more about your interests and what you think you'd like to do?
My best,
Lesly

You wake up at 10 AM and look outside at the lovely day. The sun is shining with a slight brisk of wind with the birds are chirping in the distance. Now ask yourself what to do today? Maybe take a jog in the morning followed by a nice massage. How intriguing. Or maybe you just want to sit on the couch all day & enjoy the entertainment of your 60" HD T.V. How about going to the ocean for a nice relaxing sail of the Pacific Ocean. Then you at the day of the week and you say to yourself, hmm it's only Monday. Wow, wouldn't that be heaven?
Imagine being part of something that allows you to market breakthrough technology first. Technology that was only available through you. It doesn't get more exciting than that for you!
Now imagine getting paid Every time the phone rings...Every time you text & talk on your cell phone...When people search the web...& even better when people watch T.V.!
Have you ever wondered how one decision you made somewhere along the way may have had a profound effect on your life? Perhaps it's a decision you don't even remember - one that didn't seem like that big of a deal at the time. The simple truth is that one seemingly innocent decision, simple decisions that we make here and there each and everyday - can have the power to influence the course of our lives forever.
What if Michael Jordan had given up after not making his high school basketball team as a sophomore? Where would basketball be today? What if Martin Luther king Jr. had decided not to deliver his "I have a dream speech”? Where would the civil rights movement be today?
The above scenarios seem innocent enough; they are one time decisions that you never really thought twice about. The point I'm making is this: take everyday and every moment seriously. Don't let any opportunities pass you by...no matter how small. You just never know what one decision could be the one that changes the course of your life forever. Opportunities are placed in our paths every day, but it is up to each of us to take hold of them.

Hi Laura,
You are right, research thoroughly before jumping in!
I was not "looking" for a home business last year, when Send Out Cards found me. I was introduced by a close friend who had been researching for 3 years to find a company that was right for her and her family. She found it in Send Out Cards.The owner of the company, Kody Bateman started it to help people act on their promptings. Send Out Cards helps peoople stay in touch with loved ones and business associates by becoming a Sender of Cards.
The motto of the company is simple "Changing Lives...One Card at a Time".
I am sure you use digital photography! Send Out Cards is a great way to show off your family by sending a nice keepsake greeting card with some pictures. (and you earn money off from every card you send too!) This program is what draws alot of my customers the site. (business and personal)
Bottom Line:
1. Minimal start up.
2. No product on hand, no door to door.
3. No parties
4. Show someone (walk them through) sending a greeting card. That simple!
5. Your own website and back office to manage your customers. No monthly fee for this.
6. Ability to set up a gift account website, free of charge, that directs people to send a free card to test the system.
And you can do just that on my website. Send a free greeting card, Click below and the video will walk you right through!!!

I look forward to telling you more!
