What direction are you heading?

I think the most important factor to consider when researching Jobs for stay at home Moms is having a personal vision for what you want out of your life. In other words a personal vision for where you want to be in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years or starting today.

The "Want" or your desire and motivation in life is driven by your "Why?" Your why questions should touch about the deep fundamental parts of your life. If you short circuit this part of the process you are doomed to run a business of failure or mediocrity at best. It's important that you nail this step down.

I would recommend spending as much time as you need. You want to take this exercise seriously because it will provide the foundation to build a business worth building.

You should also write you goals down on paper. There was an article I read once by this Harvard Professor who found that 97% of people who write their goals down on paper, reach them.

Also, your WHY is going to give you the drive and motivation you will need to accomplish your WHAT.

So there you have it...
