From personal experience, I didn't like to leave my son with a woman whose husband smoked in the house, but she was all I could afford at the time. I dreamed of the day when I could be the primary care giver of my son while other dads had to go to work. It knew it was possible. I believed it was possible. I was committed to making it happen for myself. My son deserved the best care I could provide for him. Honestly, who can care for your children more passionately and lovingly than you?
So, how could you better serve your children if the normal nine-hour work day was spent at home with them? Imagine the activities and projects you and your children can work on if you didn't have a full-time job. Being a full-time parent means that you are "available" for your children at all times. The more "available" you are to them, the more "secure" your children will feel.
Consider for a moment what exactly it will take for you to work from home full-time. I know answers will vary from person to person. However, there is an answer to that question. For you it may be $1,000 per week. Others may need $3,000 to $5,000 per week. Whatever the amount is for you, it is possible to earn it from the privacy and comfort of your own home.
I am not recommending that you find a second job. I mean working your PSI (primary source of income) with all you have, and starting a part-time business. Work the business with as much passion, care, and attention that you currently give to your employer. Hopefully, if you work it right, your part-time income will quickly supersede your PSI. When that happens, you have a decision to make. Do you stay at your job, or do you become a full-time parent.
According to recent surveys, eighty-seven percent of Americans hate what they do. If that describes your current situation, becoming a full-time parent is a no brainer. When you become a full-time parent, even if it's nonverbally, your children will thank you. Being a full time parent is the most fulfilling and delightful job you can ever get. I believe you can do it. I greatly desire for you to do it.
Starting a successful home business may seem difficult or overbearing, but it's not. All you need is for someone who has been there to show you the way. I fully believe that starting a home business can change your life forever. I look forward to having you enjoy the freedom of becoming a full time parent. |
