unique Kit aims to help more moms work from home
Work-at-Home Kit Guides Moms Through Starting a Home Business

AUSTIN, TX – A unique work-at-home kit is being developed to specifically help moms who are interested in working from home. Mom’s Work-at-Home Kit, being launched this month by the national association of Home-Based Working Moms (HBWM.com), is the first kit to be designed specifically by and for moms.

“For many moms, there is such an emotional desire to stay at home with their children. We designed this kit to help these moms efficiently and intelligently select and start home business without being victimized by the numerous home business scams out there,” HBWM Founder & Director Lesley Spencer said.

The kit comes with a unique Work-at-Home Workbook created by Spencer from her research and work as director of HBWM as well as being a home-based working mom herself. The workbook takes readers step-by-step through the various stages of selecting and starting a home business that is best suited for their unique personality, needs and budget.

Publisher Nancy Cleary, creator of Box-Is.com, also a home-based working mom, collaborated with HBWM for the packaging of the kit. The workbook design and keepsake box were designed by Cleary. "I understand the difficulties entrepreneurs face when packaging and marketing their ideas - creatively and financially. The work-at-home kit brings to light my passion -- helping people follow their dreams of starting a home business," Cleary adds.

Not only does a home business give these parents the opportunity to be at home with their children and earn additional income; it also gives stay-at-home parents a new sense of accomplishment and self-worth. Working from home enables them to gain more self-respect while taking charge of their future. 

"With the Work-at-Home Kit, we were able to bring to life a shared philosophy of helping people define their dreams and to make money doing what they love," Cleary said.

“We are continually contacted by moms looking for a way to work from home,” Spencer added. “Many of these parents have spent numerous hours and lost a great deal of money investing in a quick way to earn an income at home. We feel our Work-at-Home Kit will not only educate them, but also save them valuable time and money.”

“The best thing about working at home is that I get to do work I love in the comfort of my home while earning money.  I no longer have to choose between my work and my family.  There has never been a day that I regret my decision to work for me,” Gazelle Parker of Gazelle's Executive Services adds.

Mom’s Work-at-Home Kit includes:

• The Work-at-Home Workbook featuring sections on budget considerations, business plans, discovering one’s gifts and talents, selecting and starting a home business, promoting a home business and more.
