START YOUR JOURNEY WORKING ONLINE FROM HOME.
REMEMBER TO SET GOALS.
Have a clear picture of what you want to achieve working online from home as a stay-at-home mom. Write your goals down step by step. This can be very helpful. Then, tell a close friend or family about the goals you have set for yourself and the timeline.
INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING.
The amount of money you want to make. (Be realistic).
What do you want the extra money for? (How will you be spending it?)
How much are you going to save?
SET A DEADLINE DATE FOR YOURSELF.
So when do you want to reach the targets/goals you set for yourself?
Also, how much money do you want to earn by the set date?
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS?
After figuring out how much money you want to make, write down how you will make the amount.
How many hours a day, a week can you set aside to work?
Plan what you are going to be working on daily.
Try your best not to be disturbed when you are working; instead, ask. Ask your partner or a family member if they can help with the kids if you help.
MAKE SURE THE HOUSE IS ORGANISED.
Wake up early to clean, do washing, prep meals and do anything else you may need to take care of. Set time aside every day to do the housework. I KNOW from experience if I don’t set time aside daily for housework, it all piles up and becomes a mountain of work.
I ensure my children’s school lunch is ready the night before. And all homework books are signed, and their school clothing and bags are ready for the next day—nothing worse than running around in the morning looking for things.
I wash, dry and pack away dishes at night before I go to bed.
