What Working Mom's Want

I recently read an article in the Atlanta Press called "Most Working Moms Prefer Part-Time Jobs" By DAVID CRARY. According to a recent National survey, David says, "Most working mothers say their ideal situation would include a part-time job, rather than working full time or staying at home..."

My thoughts are that becoming an entrepreneur, or owning a small business may also be an excellent fit for a mother or father who wants to spend more time with their family and achieve a higher quality of life.

So how does one start, manage and expand the business of a venture? Easy, enter CEO training school. Every student must have a teacher who provides instruction and guidance during the learning curve.

Becoming a CEO or beginning any career while running a household can be a challenge. Yet, simple things make a mothers life easier. Online shopping, supportive services like take out delivery and also online learning. Many schools have online training and I think it is an excellent idea for a mom or dad who wants to open a business consider online education to fully prepare them for the venture.

There are many facets of a business. Marketing, Sales, Finance and Human Resources. Then business plan and how to operate the company to that the products and services are delivered in the right manner are also critical.

I worked from home as a mortgage loan broker for years. I loved it but it had it's draw backs. Having to meet clients at the office or other places was out of place because my real office was at home and all my stuff was there. Also I sometimes found myself resisting to leave the house for appointments preferring to do things by email, fax, or mail rather then get professionally dressed.

So Working Mom's do you agree? Would working from home as your own boss appeal to you? Why or Why Not? If you wanted training and you did it online what topics would you want covered? We want to hear from you at "You Are a CEO".
