One of the challenges to work at home is to separate work time from family time keeping our sanity. Sometimes it feels like there are last-minute things going on well, every minute.
In her post Stressed-Out Mom? How to Draw a Line in the “Work at Home” Sand So You Can Relax, Michelle Shaeffer gives practical tips to focus on one aspect of your life at a time.
What I like best in this post is the tips to let your family know that you are working. My "interrupt me only if the house is on fire" doesn't always work so I welcome new ideas and Michelle's are simple and realistic.
If you are stressing about organizing your time between your home business, your family and yourself, read this article: Stressed-Out Mom? How to Draw a Line in the “Work at Home” Sand So You Can Relax
Michelle Shaeffer is an experienced Work at Home Mom who started designing websites at age 13. Yes, that is thirteen. She is a young mom and leader who knows what she is talking about.

Network Marketing training: two things I learned from my children
I always pay attention to the Network Marketing gurus. I always feel like I'm missing something big when I don't watch every video or read every email. I have to remind myself what my focus is at the moment so I don't have the temptation to use my productive time as training time.
But I also learn constantly from my children.
Today they were my gurus, my mentors, my trainers.
It's not like I learn something new. It was more like a reminder of what I can be.
Let me tell you:
The first lesson came from my oldest son.
He has been afraid of the water for a long time. He was always uncomfortable with the idea of Swimming Lessons. He even got stuck in Boy Scouts, he couldn't go further because the was lacking the Swimming part.
I told him that we will take care of that this Summer.
It's the Law of Attraction. I also call it an answered prayer. One of his Scout Masters got in touch with us about possible private Swimming Lessons. My son made a face when I told him he was going.
Fast forward two weeks and almost daily lessons, he passed his Swimming Test. To see him jumping off the board and getting to the other side safely was one of proudest moments as a mom. Then his coach said that she had never seen anyone working so hard without complaining.
He did it. So can I. He taught me to give the best of me, to work hard without complaining. He can jump off the board. So can I.
The second lesson came form my daughter. It was simple yet beautiful.
She was looking at the "Central Penn Parents" magazine. An Ad caught her eye. It was about a contest for the next Cover Child.
She asked me if she could enter. She saw the rules and it was like they were just an invitation for her to participate. Nothing seemed hard to do or like an obstacle. She doesn't even know if she is too old already.
"So?" she asked. I asked back "What if you don't win?". Her answer: "It's okay, I still want to do it".
So what if she doesn't win? She was already a winner in my eyes just for making the decision to go for it. She is not looking at the possibility of not winning. She is looking at the possibility of doing it.
And so can I. She didn't see the obstacles, why should I?
Did I mention my son is 13 and my daughter almost 8?
Aren't children the best thing ever? What have your children taught you?

America the beautiful
I was getting ready to record a video to say Happy 4th of July and my 3 year old started to knock on the door. Of course, he won't take a "Wait a second". I wanted to make a video, my son came, I still got to do it...
So Joaquin and I are wishing you a Happy 4th of July. I have some questions for you in this video that the song "America the beautiful" made me think of when we were in Church today.
Happy July 4

For Network Marketing Moms: One reason to have an MLM Blog
In few seconds I will share the one reason that has become more important to me to have an MLM blog.
If you are using the Internet to build or promote your Network Marketing business, you are probably familiar with the different ways to market your content: article marketing, SEO, Social Media, etc.
One limitation with article marketing, social bookmarking services and other Social Media sites is that you don't actually own the content. Yes, you create it, but someone else has to approve it before it's public. That means that it can be blocked, deleted, flagged, reported as spam, etc.
When you have a blog, you control your content. Specially when you have a Wordpress blog, where you can buy your domain name and hosting account and therefore, be the owner of all the content.
I just had to delete a Squidoo Lens because the term "Network Marketing" is in the no-no list. I completely understand the rules and I abide them. I understand that many people, unfortunately, do use these kind of services for spamming. Instead of appealing, I just saved the information and deleted it. I can use the content in the future.
My number reason to have an MLM blog? It really is, like many leaders in the Industry say, your own piece of Real State Online.
I don't like spam, who does? I don't want to be spammer and I've felt horrible when my email accounts have been hacked and "I" have send questionable emails to my list of contacts (actually, one is still being fixed)...
I own my blog. I can use the terms "Network Marketing", "MLM" and "blogging" in the same sentence. And I like that freedom to inform people, give valuable content and build relationships without the fear of being deleted or reported.
Are you still using these marketing methods to attract people to your Company Website? Start your own blog now.

Do you want to win the race?
I just read an excellent post by Danielle Zack about what we need to do to win a race.
What is your "race" or "races" right now?
In this blog post you'll find how you can win any of them. I like how a cartoon can still have a great message:
Do you want to win the race?
I love it when we learn things from our children. Danielle was doing a house chore while her daughter watched TV. Without knowing, she was going to be reminded of an important lesson. And she shares it with us like the great leader she is.
Danielle Zack is a Mom building her business online from home. She is passionate about teaching others the steps to success in MLM. I know you can learn more than 10 things from her.

Blogging Secrets: How to find content for you blog whether you are a SAHM or a WAHM
Stay At Home Moms, Working Moms, Work At Home Moms, Full time Moms… We all have something to say. Many of us spend few to lots of hours blogging or reading blogs. In the next paragraphs I will give you a little secret to never run out of ideas for your content. I will also share a potential danger of it.
If you watched the videos of Ty Tribble (Top MLM blogger) in Blogging for Prospects, you already know two of his best Secrets to always have content.
I have one more secret: Google Alerts. This is a great source of information and inspiration to get you going in your own opinions about a given subject. You can also find good content to present to your followers.
Choose the topic you want to know about, like your niche. When you sign up, you receive daily updates of the most recent and interesting activity in the subject you chose.
So what is the danger of receiving Google Alerts? It doesn’t have anything to do with viruses or scams.
It has more to do with our inclination and love for debate.
I receive updates about WAHMs, SAHMs and other combinations. Many of the updates are Forums where a given question or specific subject is discussed. If you still don’t know, there is a permanent war going on between moms.
See what I mean: Don’t want to be a Stay At Home Mom?
Maybe you participate in some of them. The danger for me is to get caught in reading the discussions, have an urge to participate and telling myself to move on and go back to work!
I know: it’s not that big of a deal, huh?
I choose not to participate because my goal is to help moms who are working their home based business from home in the Industry of Network Marketing. What are we? How do we identify ourselves? That is probably a subject for discussion...
When I decided to give you a tip about finding content or sources to create your own, I also made the decision to mention that little danger. It’s very interesting to see how a simple question can trigger so many answers and I know there is more debate out there about hundreds of topics (I prefer the ones related to Online Network Marketing).
Use Google Alerts. Just don’t be too distracted with discussions that are not in your niche.
