21:22:52 |
host_melissa |
Last week we talked about time
management some more, which can be hard
for WAHMs to keep up with home AND
Business tasks |
|
21:23:29 |
Dack |
I have my own screen printing buisness,
and am pregnant now, I plan on working
from home once the baby is born |
|
21:23:34 |
host_melissa |
Cool |
|
21:23:45 |
host_melissa |
Net, are you lookign to have a home
business? |
|
21:23:52 |
net |

just listen in |
|
21:24:11 |
host_melissa |
Dack do you have a home office ready
now? |
|
21:24:15 |
net |
i don't know at this point in time what
i would do |
|
21:24:30 |
host_susie |
dack are you in Canada too? |
|
21:25:12 |
Dack |
Ya, I still work full time in another
job right now, but I also work part time
screen printing for the last 2 years, so
I'm ready to go. I'm from Australia. |
|
21:25:36 |
host_susie |
australia, Canada and US talking about
taxes... LOL |
|
21:25:48 |
host_susie |
probably we should pick a new topic LMBO |
|
21:25:53 |
Dack |
Funny eh? |
|
21:25:54 |
net |
ya crazy |
|
21:26:08 |
net |
like what kind of topic |
|
21:26:15 |
host_susie |
hmmm |
|
21:26:30 |
host_susie |
we talked about time management last
week. Were you both herE? |
|
21:26:34 |
net |
no |
|
21:26:48 |
Dack |
Net, maybe you could do some type of
crafts? I dunno. Have you been thinking
about stuff you might want to do at
home? |
|
21:26:48 |
host_melissa |
Well Susie, what about the ins and outs
of starting up |
|
21:26:49 |
host_susie |
i can't remember this morning.. so last
week was faaar away LOL |
|
21:27:00 |
host_susie |
thats a good idea |
|
21:27:09 |
host_susie |
what type of intrests do you have net? |
|
21:27:17 |
Dack |
I'm new at this chat thing |
|
21:27:23 |
host_melissa |
Susie and I started up and it took us
nine full months to get up and running |
|
21:27:26 |
net |
do you know anything about work at home
companys |
|
21:27:44 |
host_susie |
a few... but being in the US I am not
sure which are also in Canada |
|
21:27:57 |
Dack |
That could be an option. |
|
21:27:59 |
host_melissa |
IT seems regardless of location, the
industry for WAHMs making their own
homecrafts is really growing |
|
21:28:16 |
net |
i have been looking in to like stuffing
envelops or something like that |
|
21:28:19 |
host_melissa |
From cloth diapers, to handmade soaps,
boutique clothing |
|
21:28:20 |
host_susie |
can you make soaps? or candles? they
both seem bery big right now |
|
21:28:25 |
host_melissa |
That stuff is always a scam |
|
21:28:28 |
host_susie |
i looked into that too |
|
21:28:33 |
Dack |
It just seems the right thing to do with
the cost of daycare. |
|
21:28:34 |
host_melissa |
We did something once and were totally
burned |
|
21:28:36 |
host_susie |
yeah run from envelope stuffing |
|
21:28:36 |
net |
im not the very crafty type |
|
21:28:56 |
host_melissa |
I know that some people have done
medical transcription and that can be
legimate |
|
21:29:00 |
host_susie |
maybe you could start a home daycare? |
|
21:29:11 |
host_susie |
i did that for a while and it was lots
of fun |
|
21:29:12 |
net |
i thought so how can they pay me $10 for
every envelop i stuff |
|
21:29:16 |
Dack |
My friend does that here. She loves it! |
|
21:29:26 |
host_susie |
they do pay you, but you have to find
leads |
|
21:29:37 |
host_susie |
like you have to advertise in the paper
and it can get expensive |
|
21:29:42 |
host_melissa |
Not only with the COST of daycare, but
the poor quality of most of them, people
jump at the chance of an in home
arrangment |
|
21:30:05 |
host_susie |
i actually made more money than my
full-time working spouse when i did it |
|
21:30:09 |
Dack |
She only ever had up to 3 extra kids, 5
days a week. |
|
21:30:14 |
host_melissa |
Espeically if you are more organized
than the average place |
|
21:30:25 |
net |
a home daycare would require some
schooling unless it was under2 kids and
i have two kinds |
|
21:30:26 |
host_melissa |
Providing a scheudle of activities, menu
plans etc |
|
21:30:28 |
host_susie |
yeah.. i had 1 child so i kept 5 kiddos |
|
21:30:54 |
host_susie |
but it was really fun, i wanted to do
one again here, but i am way too busy
now LOL |
|
21:31:05 |
Dack |
She liked it because her kids always had
someone to play with and she was in the
comfort of her own home. Could go on
ebay etc. |
|
21:31:20 |
net |
i honestly don't think i could handle a
bunch off kids i have a new baby |
|
21:31:21 |
host_susie |
yeah,, and i was home to cook and stuff |
|
21:31:27 |
host_melissa |
I think in today's age tho, wouldn't
someone need liability insurance for
sure if you were keeping other's
children? |
|
21:31:31 |
host_susie |
my house was so clean theN LOL |
|
21:31:45 |
host_susie |
yes but they offer affordable insurance
for that type of thing |
|
21:31:48 |
net |
yes you should have insurance |
|
21:31:55 |
host_susie |
at least i found it inexpensively |
|
21:32:03 |
host_melissa |
My friend and I were talking about how
scary it can be, she will not give
medications now |
|
21:32:14 |
host_melissa |
She will have them give it to them in
front of her before the parents leave |
|
21:32:24 |
host_susie |
we do live in a litigous society |
|
21:32:29 |
host_susie |
or however you spell that |
|
21:32:40 |
net |
i really don't want to get into that
some parents can be so stick on things |
|
21:32:45 |
Dack |
It's okay none of us can spell |
|
21:32:48 |
host_susie |
LOL |
|
21:32:48 |
net |

|
21:32:55 |
host_susie |

Dack |

|
21:33:23 |
host_susie |

boutique. |
|
21:33:32 |
host_susie |
maybe you could do something similiar |
|
21:33:37 |
host_melissa |
With any business, there are pros and
cons, and that is why for the most part,
moms start looking at things that seem
easy" but any profitable business will
never, never, never be "easy" :)" |
|
21:33:38 |
host_susie |
although i believe they are us only |
|
21:33:52 |
net |
and how my son talks sometimes and he
has a bad temper i wouldn't want it to
rub off on anyone else |
