Biz Chicks Rule
Today is supposed to be my regular Fri-dea post, but I have a ha-ha that I MUST share with you. Women are some amazing people when it comes to being creative, spontaneous and worker-bees. I am all-supportive of women who start their own business, climb that corporate ladder, find/make/pave their own way and just generally do whatever it (ethically) takes to get where they want to be. Remember: ethical.
This article that I found over at Mental Floss highlights some things schemes people have tried in search of the “get-rich-quick” life. Read #2. Now read it again. Want to …read more

As women search for a work at home job or a business opportunity, it’s probably ideal to look at what skills you already have. Lining up something that complements what you already know is ideal for a female entrepreneur. What do you do? What do you do well?
For instance, I tried to do several things when I was searching for that “perfect” work at home job, shortly after I had my first child. I tried almost everything imaginable (well, not everything), but never stopped to think about tapping into what I already knew and could do well. Sometimes, it’s not …read more

Last Saturday, after my son’s baseball practice, I took the kids to this huge grand opening at one of our local Regions’ Bank offices here in Alabaster. They had all kinds of games, moon jumps and give-a-ways for the kids. It was a lot of fun and the weather was beautiful. They also had a lot of vendor food booths and different samples of foods, so that took care of lunch for us.

While I perused which table I wanted to get my lunch from, I noticed a food vendor table that said “Our Daily Bread”, a hot …read more

The company, Melaleuca, is a distributor of cleaning products, vitamins and household goods that are a deriviative from the Melaeuca plant. The opportunity mainly consists of marketing the product(s) and then signing people on under you in your downline and reaping a portion of the sales they make. Yes, this is a MLM opportunity, but a viable one where the opportunity for a solid, believable income is real.
Let me first start by saying that yes, I am a Melaleuca memeber, but not an active sponsor. Meaning, I do purchase and use their amazing products, but I am not an active …read more

Do you enjoy telling people what to do? Do you want to get paid for it?
Consider professional advice services. Accountants, Tax Lawyers, Clergy, Financial Planners, Real Estate Brokers, Nurses, Doctors, Psychotherapists, etc., etc. The list is endless. If you are a licensed professional in your field, you should consider marketing your expertise and advice for a fee.

Aahh….my favorite. A personal chef.
Now before I fantasize about having my salads made custom for me when I want and how I want, and the exact way that I want my potatoes julienned, personal chefs are in high demand and carry a hefty price tag.

People who love their pets want to make sure they have the best of care. In most homes, pets are just as much a part of the family as the other members are.
When families have to go out of town or be away from their pets for extended periods of time, they want peace of mind knowing that their pet is well taken care of. Enter, the pet sitter.
Your services as a pet sitter can involve, of course, pet sitting, pet walking, grooming, transportation and exercise. Perhaps as a “pet nanny”, you can market yourself to homes with multiples …read more

Do you love to organize, set things in order and establish a way of doing things?

What about clean lines, neat shelves and all-purpose baskets …do you goose-bump out thinking about that?

If the idea of those things appeal to you and your personality likes things to be “in order” the business of professionally organizing may be just the thing for you. Professionally organizing is a business that is catching hold pretty quickly with women doing what they love, what they do best, making a living at it and making other folks live’s easier in the meantime. Now I …read more
