Have you ever gone to work sick because your job was on the line?
Or you used all your sick leave taking one kid after another to the pediatrician?
Have you ever pumped your slightly feverish baby with a little ibuprofen and dropped them at daycare because there was an 8 am meeting about budget planning and you needed to be there to represent your team? (You left after that and picked them up when the daycare called at 11 but still…..mom guilt central.)
No matter how much you love your job, and even sometimes how flexible it is, these parenting moments are tough and will make you want to quit in a heartbeat. But you can’t. Because your family needs your income and quite frankly, you’d lose your mind staying home every single day.
You just want work that works for your family.
There’s never been a better time to seek work from home job opportunities. There is acceptance in the market that high quality individuals with great skills can be found anywhere, anytime.
Today we share the zig-zaggy journey of one mom who went from 5 months pregnant and laid off to buying her new business domain literally from the hospital while she was in labor.
Meet Misha Hettie. Wife. Mom. Work-at-Home Business Owner.
Our Favorite Moments In this Video:
“You have to play a role to play the game in the corporate world. It takes awhile to break out of that. When your authentic you matches to your business work and your clients, it feels so natural. If you don’t want to work with stuffy financial executives anymore, then design a business where you don’t need to attract those kind of people.”
“You don’t have to trade your corporate hectic job for even more hectic entrepreneurial life. Take a talent you already have. Accounting, Customer Service, Legal, Graphic Design, Technology. Start broad and then narrow in on the specialty niche that matches your style and gifts.”
“There are lots of ways to make money. They are in front of your face everyday. But what is going to be the right way. What is the way that’s going to be sustainable, that you can count on, that matches your talents and gifts.”
“Chasing money is never the answer. Money follows excellence. If you go do what you’re good at, the money will come. But you must have the right business model.”
