Where Do I Start...

So where do I start.  My name is Rahil, and I am a mother of two beautiful children.  One is in college and the other in elementary school.  Okay, before you start, yes I waited and had another child 12 years apart, so as I was sending one of to college, the other was going to 1st grade.  Tell me about it, there went my retirement plans.  I am suppose to be traveling the world, sight seeing beautiful places by now.  Do I have regrets, no, I don't.  I love my children and I do my best as a single mother to raise them the best way I can to prepare them for the world.

I always had and still have a desire to be self-employed, working from home or setting my own hours.  I have ventured down this road for many years searching just like many for that one product or company that can bring me the capital to support my needs financially so I can provide my children the time they deserve, be it football camp, basketball, track, you name it, I keep him busy. 

Since 2005, the year my son was born, I have did work from home companies such as west at home agent, arise and ventured into some other as well, however, although I have some friends that still work for these companies to this day, for me, I found that it still constrains me.  I felt like I was working a 9-5 at home instead of feeling like I was working around my sons schedule.   I also began blogging in 2009 and started learning about keywords, adwords, and really signed up for almost everything and became overloaded.

Last year in December 2013, I decided to begin my search again for work from home companies that I can do that would give me that time and financial freedom that I need.  I told myself this time I would venture into 3 different companies and test the waters to see what would be a good fit for me to do.  I also did not want to put all my eggs in one basket. 

Putting all your eggs in one basket is not a good thing, however, I learned the hard way that when you start out, you have to put all your focus in one basket, build up that company to where you want it to be, become established by branding yourself, and then after that, you can venture into other companies and have multiple streams of income.
