This is my first blog post ever.  I am really excited about taking this step into the ‘unknown’- at least for me.  As I was wondering what post to start my blog with, it brought me back to when I started my business.  It was almost three and a half years ago.  I was a new mother and I wanted to help contribute to the family finances since I was not going to be working full time anymore.  I wanted something for myself too.  My husband and I knew that my being able to stay home with our son was a priority.  Even though I didn’t know it at the time, I had already identified my ‘why’.

See, I was very new to having a home business.  I didn’t know that many people talked about how important knowing your ‘Why’ was.  Of course, now I know that anyone starting a home business should identify their reasons for wanting to do it.  Really take the time, sit down and write out your reasons…your ‘Why’. 

Looking at my list of ‘Why’ really helps me focus and remember my priorities.  If I get off course or frustrated, it reminds me why I am working from home.  Most importantly, for me, it reminds me who I am working from home for.
