As I bring this home business journey series to a close, I want to thank you for coming along.  It’s been fun to be able to share about my experiences, and what I have learned. The thought I want to leave you with is to PERSEVERE.  If you have chosen a business that you are [...]

As I was thinking about what to write for this post, I realized that I need to tell you that it is very important to choose a business you really believe in and care about.  Why?  Because it’s not a steady stream of sales and compliments!  There can be many dry times.  And sometimes, no [...]

Well, where were we? I had a website up with a handful of opportunities on it. My first big project was to compile a home business guide of legitimate opportunities, that for a reasonable price, someone could buy and have access to lots of home based options that had already been researched for legitimacy. I [...]

Ok, so I then started my current business at Christian Home Business Connection. How did this all come about? Well, after my bookstore was shut down, I started praying and asking God about what to do next. While I was running my bookstore, I visited other work at home/home business sites, and always thought that [...]

So, there I was, with my own online bookstore. I loved offering products that would help strengthen people’s walk with God or even come to God. I loved that part of the business. The part I wasn’t too keen on was having to recruit others. I called people up who had requested more information about [...]

Where were we? Oh yeah – how was I going to change my life, being in a state of depression, and not having a clue as to what I should be doing?

Of course, I was praying about what to do next. In the spring of my daughter’s senior year, I was surfing the internet, looking for home business opportunities. I came across information about owning a Christian online bookstore. That certainly caught my eye! Years before, my husband and I had actually looked into buying a franchise and opening up a brick and mortar Christian bookstore. That would have really appealed to both of us, however, the cost was way too much for us, so we had to shelve that idea.

Hi,

Well, I am starting a series on my home business journey, and am so glad to have you come along:-)

Before I begin, I would love for you to share with me and my readers about your own home business journey. Leave a comment and let us know what owning a home business has meant to you.

My home business journey was actually birthed in my homeschooling years. We belonged to a homeschool group, and on Fridays, my kids took classes with other kids who were homeschooled. Well, of course, this was a great time for the moms to get together and socialize! I can remember talking with one mom, in particular, who I spent a lot of my time there with. Many of our conversations centered around the fact that we both would have loved to start a home based business. But then we always were stumped at what we would do for a business. The idea sounded glamorous, but in reality, we had no idea of how we would bring it about.
