Money Maker, not just for Mom’s

As you can tell from the recent posts, that I am really excited about my Wife’s blogging about her book; Mommy’s Little Money$Maker.  It will soon available for a free download for a limited time, because it’s going to go to a national publisher.  The blog and details about the money maker tips are at MomBite.com.

She has so many great work from home advice for Mom’s to start a business or make part-time income, it really is quite amazing.  But, what I am most excited about is the fact that she has actually incorporated something called MomBite’s.  A little tidbit about a business started by a Mom and the full on profile and interviews with successful women.  So really, it’s a great book of business ideas, and not just for Mom’s.  I think she might actually incorporate a couple of great ideas by Dads too.  So folks do visit her Money Maker site, MomBite.com and spread the word by blogging about it.  It’s in these crazy times we really do have to support each other and help Mom’s be the little or big Money Makers!  Enjoy the excerpts from MomBite.com:
Establish a Two-Hour “Work Out” Routine
March 20, 2009 ·

Two hours is a long time.  Two hours goes fast.  Two hours is all I need.  Two hours later.  Two hours to get it done.  Two hours time.  Two hour work-out.  Two hours.

Get the work “Out” of the way! If you are looking to find a Money$Maker, you need to start carving out time in your daily life to take action steps towards your goals.
Take two hours each day to establish a two-hour “work out” routine. Get an office set-up.  Research ideas for a business.  Make phone calls.  Set up a blog.  Network.  Get yourself out there.  Start projects that you can realistically finish.

Find alternative times to make work happen.

Get up in morning and do it before the kids tumble down the stairs wondering what’s for breakfast.
Think about carving out hours in the quiet of the afternoon or in the evening when you are able to find focus time.
While your child is napping, get to work.
If your baby often falls asleep in the car, set up a roving office space.
Get your family on board to help you find the time you deserve.
There are 24 hours in your day.  I know you are bus, but taking the two-hours and putting it toward a Money$Maker will go a long way to reaching your dreams.

I know that there is room to take two of the 24 hours in the day to work on your business. Two hours of work is a realistic, reasonable goal for starting any endeavor.

Keep in mind after you have used your two hours, that you still have 22 hours left to do things like laundry, paying bills, getting groceries, making meals, taking care of kids, carpooling, sleeping and doing something for yourself.

Tips:

When you finally slip away to take the two-hour time period for work, remember to use it wisely.
Organize what you’d like to get done ahead of time, so when the two hours arises, you are ready to hit it.
Minimize distractions in your workspace and try to stay focused.
If it is hard for you to stick with two-hours straight, try doing it in four sets of half-hours.  Set a timer if you must.  Do a half hour on, half hour off.
Stay consistent with taking the time to work.
Put a note on the door telling children that “Mommy is working (with another adult home if kids are young)” and close the door if that works better.
Hold a family meeting to let everyone feel involved in your endeavors.  Be honest and let them know what you need and involve them in decision making.
If the time still doesn’t work for your personal schedule, scale it back to one hour.  If it really works, try to add another hour onto your “Work Out” Routine.
