In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I feel that it is important that I share how grateful I am that I work from home. Owning my two part time home – based businesses has enabled me to do something that I always knew that I wanted to do – stay home with my kids. While my husband and I have made and continue to make many adjustments and sacrifices along the way to ensure that only one of us works outside of the home, I would not trade my current lifestyle for that which I could have if I were employed full time outside of the home.
I am thankful that I was able to summon the courage that I needed to get my businesses started, and thankful that I have never had a shortage of passion and energy to keep them going. I am fortunate that my husband supports what I do, and that he recognizes that the work that I do from home is important not only for our financial well being but for my own personal satisfaction. Speaking of family, my parents and my husband’s parents, as well as his sister, are the people that I turn to when I need child care for the boys so that I can attend court hearings.
My businesses would cease to exist if it were not for my clients and my customers. Thank you for allowing me to serve you, and for giving me the chance to show you what I can do. Small and home – based businesses like mine provide products and services that are just as good as those provided by bigger firms or companies, often at competitive rates and prices. The choice that you have made to use my services benefits me and my family immensely and we appreciate your business.
Home – based professionals, what are you thankful for right now?
