the first few months of the business, that is. I mean, for 3 to 6 months after working from home, youÆll have to expect to dig into your savings or the spouse would have to cover for expenses, so, naturally, he or she would be a little bit disgruntled with the fact. TheyÆre not being selfish û theyÆre trying to deal with you breaking out of the comfort zone. Everyone, including you, hates that. So, donÆt expect your spouse to welcome the idea of working from home with wide open arms. ThereÆs bound to be some skepticism. And skepticism from your loved ones is good too because it will keep you on your toes and youÆre feet remains firmly planted on the ground. So, the best thing to do with your spouse is to discuss the idea with him or her, sit down and plan the finances. For example, dig into your savings to cover for contribution to expenses, working part-time, telecommuting, cut down on expenses, selling the extra car, remortgaging, etc. Find a way and a plan to ease the discomfort for your spouse. Make sure he or she has nothing to complain about your working at home decision. ItÆs incredibly difficult to accept, trust me, if youÆre not the one who wants to work from home. If youÆre on the other side of the fence, everything looks so bleak and uncertain. Break through their barrier not with force, but with gentle compromising and understanding. Then, youÆll get their full support for your work at home business.

Keywords: business, start business, home business, internet business, work from home, work at home, ecommerce, ebusiness, online business Article Body: Unless you are independently wealthy or have a very successful spouse then every parent must face an important decision -- whether to work outside the home or to work from home. Many people choose the traditional option of working outside the homeand find themselves spending far too much time away from their children as well as trying to juggle daycare and health issues while still trying to get ahead in their chosen profession. Other parents choose the less traditional path of working from home. While they are not subject to problems with daycare or a child's illness, they do struggle with a different sort of problem balancing home and work

I
found
while
I
was
in
Atlanta
buying
religious
paintings
The
piece
was
called
Guardian
Angel
and
I
love
it
My
patrons
fell
in
love
with
it
as
well
They
have
asked
me
to
track
down
the
artist
and
see
if
he
has
anymore
religious
paintings
available
The
only
religious
paintings
that
I
actually
do
not
buy
are
ones
that
reflect
the

the

I
don’t
have

some
