Yes, you can support a family with working from home. I never really wanted to--I thought my husband would always work and supply the "necessities" and I could dabble to provide the "niceities". I got a rude awakening when his company closed! We found by my working more, and praying, we could support our family of 4 with my Mary Kay business.

Yes, it's possible, although, definitely not easy all the time! There are definitely times we scrape by, but it does have it's advantages too. I wouldn't trade being able to be here for my kids.

YES! It is definitly possible but you have to be with the right company. You have to do your research. Look at who is running the company, look at the history of the company, what is the product, how does thier compensation plan work. There is alot of bad companies out there, get rich quick schemes are a no no if you don't want to get burned. I have heard so many stories of people building a huge home business and then the company going bankrupt. Happens all the time. I have found the company that is the RIGHT company. This company is driven by mission not profit. They have had continued growth for the past 24 years and they are recession proof. They have had the most growth thru the recessions because they offer opportunity when there seems to be no hope. If you want to hear more about this home business opportunity then contact me. I would like to add, with a home business, in order to be successful you need to do the work.

Sherill, Alicia, and Denise -

Thanks for responding! As your experiences prove, it is definitely possible to support a family while working from home - but it's important for new breadwinner moms to recognize that it takes a lot of hard work to get there. I definitely feel that the hard work is worth it; I have been able to spend every day with my daughter since she was born and feel so lucky to have had that chance.

Hope to connect with you again soon!
