Guest Writer: JUANITA D. RITTERPosted by Tisha Tolar on November 29, 2007
I AM…I am the mother of four beautiful, talented and gifted children. I am the wife of a loving, thoughtful and giving husband. In accordance with that, on any given day, I am also a trainer, teacher, provider, chef, chauffer, cheerleader, doctor, laundress, housekeeper and referee in my household. But beneath it all, I am [...]
More Than 50% of Work Time is Spent Doing "Other Stuff"Posted by Debbie Dragon on November 21, 2007
While there are a few different ways to earn money from home, this blog is primarily focused on people who want to start their own businesses- maybe you hope to become a freelance writer, virtual administrative assistant, bookkeeper- the idea is that you are going solo and working for yourself rather than for someone else. [...]
Keyword CONFIDENCEPosted by Tisha Tolar on November 18, 2007
Taking a step back for a minute, I want to go back to one of the ultimate deal breakers if you think you want to work for yourself. That’s C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E. If you don’t have any, you don’t stand a chance. Confidence, or lack there of, is probably the thing that kept me from starting in [...]
From the office of Debbie Dragon:Posted by Debbie Dragon on November 16, 2007
I used to hate it when someone would ask me “What do you do for a living?” because I never knew quite how to answer the question. Do I say I’m a stay-at-home mom of two boys? Do I say I’m a writer? Both are correct, but telling people you are a [...]
Exploring Your Talents…Posted by Tisha Tolar on November 14, 2007
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people waste their natural talent. This is almost an obsession of mine. When I find people who possess any kind of creative talent or other natural ability, I immediately feel it is my duty to make that person do something with it! Anything – just do SOMETHING! [...]

Once you’ve decided you should work from home, regardless of what your own unique and personal reasons are, you have three basic choices- and yes, you should have an idea which of the three types of work at home varieties is ideal for you.
For people who work from home, they are either:
A) Operating a home-based [...]
Should I? Shouldn’t I?Posted by Tisha Tolar on November 12, 2007
For me there was no question about it. I was destined to work for myself. I have known that for a long time. Still, I lacked confidence so I worked for other people. But I just didn’t belong in someone else’s office. While the time I spent working in those other offices have been some [...]
My Graduation Gift Was a BabyPosted by Debbie Dragon on November 10, 2007
I always knew I would be a mom someday, I just didn’t know that someday would come as soon as it did. My first son was born just a few months after I graduated from the College of St Rose- and so the Computer Informations System degree I worked so hard to earn suddenly didn’t [...]
And We Begin…Posted by Tisha Tolar on November 9, 2007
I’ll be the first to admit, I wasn’t the mother type.
When I envisioned my future, there wasn’t a white picket fence in sight. So now five years into motherhood, I find it ironic that the little person I brought into this world is the same person who brought me where I am today. That’s a [...]
