Turn your at-home-hobby into a MONEY MAKING MACHINE!

Moms, there has never been a better time for you to put your special skills into action to create a profitable business. You don’t need a business degree or even previous entrepreneurial experience to find success your first time out of the gate. These days, you can work from ANYWHERE and still make money.

The BEST way to launch a new business…

…Hold your breath and DIVE RIGHT in, of course… but not before creating a basic business plan. Have fun with it! Don’t be afraid to mix in some spontaneity with your preparedness. Both will adequately add value to your launch and balance you out — whether you are more of the impulsive type or the deliberate planner.

ENSURE a successful first-time launch!

With anything new and unfamiliar, you MUST go in with a sense of adventure. Don’t sweat the small stuff. There is a first time for everything (and EVERYONE) who has ever been super successful.

Ask the Pros

No matter how unique your idea is, there have been many others before you who have launched something similar. DON’T LET THIS INTIMIDATE YOU. If anything, see it is as an opportunity that is rich and valuable in lessons… free for the taking. Successful business owners who have been at this awhile LOVE to offer advice, so take advantage and don’t shy away from asking those tough questions. (The more you ask the more they’ll offer you in the way of advice. Funny how that works out!)

Before the big launch…

You don’t have to wait until everything is official to start collecting a paycheck. If there are interested parties NOW, don’t wait until you get your logo and website “just right.” Capitalize on the enthusiasm of your soon-to-be-business right now! Pre-launch is a great time to offer deep discounts to friends and family in exchanged for “happy camper” testimonials. ((… these will go a long way!!))

Forget something?

Yep, there is a good chance you did. Don’t sweat it. A small business is ALWAYS a work in progress and you’ll be fixing little details up until you decide to sell your business for retirement funds. EVERYTHING IS FIXABLE.
Expect it. Roll up your sleeves. Get down to it.

Worried about TOO MUCH success too quickly?

OH NO!
What if my site crashes from too much traffic? What if I run out of inventory? What if orders come in faster than I can keep up with them?
These are all good problem to have. You should HOPE for these things, not be afraid of them. If these problems come your way— (and I sincerely HOPE THEY DO)—take them as beautiful indications that your new business will SOAR. =) =)
