Market and Financial Concerns

I was talking to a mom yesterday and she was very concerned about what is going on in the markets now. She has been wanting to come home to work but doesn't know how, what, or when is the best timing. I told her a little about our Blog and she is excited about reading ideas and interviews to gain the confidence to start a business from home. She will work her way out of her job as her income from her "kitchen table" increases. I am finding moms all over with these same concerns. I am so excited to be a small part in helping her, you and those you tell about us here at Orange Nickel.

So it is 4:30 am and I can't sleep. I keep thinking about our interviews and I get so excited I can't sit still let alone sleep.

One of the great advantages of working from your Kitchen Table is being able to work in your PJ's. I find that if I get showered and dressed for the day it is to easy to find an excuse to leave, run errands, or find a friend to go to lunch with. If I stay in my PJ's I get more done as it will take to long to get "dolled up" for my excursions.

A disadvantage of working in PJ's is that I forget there are cute clothes in my closet. I think there is a time and place for PJ's and there is a time and place for looking like someone others can trust as a business women. So...

I am thinking of having a fashion show. You can send in your "little twirl" picture of your fancy "doing business" outfit. Whether it is a pair of jeans and fancy jewelry or a business suit. This will give all you new business mom's an idea of what others are wearing during their social contact.
