periodically sends out home-based

website dedicated to helping moms find work
(as well as how to avoid scams)! We also have
a member's-only message board for members to
post information on Business Opportunities.
"Once
again, Lesley, I'm thanking you for yet
another WONDERFUL benefit of being a member
of HBWM. You had passed along the email from
a company looking for study course authors,
and I signed a contract with them. It's a
wonderful opportunity for me....thanks so
much for the job you do each day to help us
in our businesses! You truly are an
inspiration - both as a professional and a
working mom!" Karen Snyder, The
Project Pleasers, Pennsylvania

NETWORKING: How do you network with other
business folks when you are working from home?
Easy, you join HBWM and network with fellow
members! HBWMs have a unique relationship and
can relate to one another's needs and goals.
HBWM provides many opportunities for
networking through the listservs, newsletters,
member's-only message boards and membership
directory.
"Home-Based
Working Moms has assisted me tremendously.
It is reassuring simply being part of a
network of moms working from home, knowing
that we have each other to depend on. I have
not met any of these ladies, and yet, I get
mail from them and we reach out to each
other when we need assistance of some kind.
It is a great network!" Julie
Kreisman, Express-It Rubber Stamp Co,
California
TIME: Do you have enough time to do it
all? While we don't actually provide time, we
do provide many time-savers. When you are
starting and running a home business, you
frequently run into to questions or issues you
do not have the answer for. Luckily, HBWM is
here. Through our members and resources, we
can save you valuable time (and money) in
searching for answers and solutions. In
addition, HBWM also provides time-saving
articles and information as well as a weekly
meal planner and shopping list to make your
job as a home-based working mom easier and
less stressful! Ahhhhh!
"I am
constantly amazed, impressed and gratified
to see how broad reaching and powerful HBWM
is. There is so much on the internet these
days that we're all flooded with too much
info and not enough time. HBWM rises above
it all and produces something of great
value. The members are genuinely interested
in helping and supporting others. I'm
grateful to have found you." Tricia
Neves, Balance Resources
HELP: There is no such thing as Superman
and there is no such thing as a Super HBWM!
Face it, we need help. Many times, as HBWMs
working alone, we don't know where to turn.
HBWM is here to help! No matter, where you are
in your business, HBWM can help. Our Panel of
Experts includes authors such as Ellen
Parlapiano & Patricia Cobe, authors of
Mompreneurs and Liz Folger, author of the
Stay-at-Home Mom's Guide to Making Money; and
many others which you can found listed here.
The advice and guidance you get from our Panel
of Experts and fellow successful HBWMs can be
priceless. We take great pride in helping moms
stay closer to their children. We are here to
HELP!
"Just had
to say once again how much I appreciate your
TLC of the HBWM members. You are such a kind
and giving person. Always willing to lend a
hand from what I can tell. Thank you for
being such a great role model." Laurie

PERSEVERANCE: Do you ever run out of
steam? Feel like you can't do this any longer?
Turn to HBWM for your dose of motivation.
Working at home and raising children is a
demanding job. Without motivation and support,
it can be nearly impossible to keep up with it
all. Don't give up. Turn to HBWM and your
fellow members for your virtual shoulder to
lean on.
"I want to
share with you what a difference HBWM has
made for me in my life. I started my
business for seniors and their caregivers in
February 1999. I knew I was bright and could
start my own business, but since I hadn't
finished college, I felt insecure marketing
myself and my new business without a list of
letters at the end of my name. By joining
HBWM, I met other women who have helped me
develop my self-esteem. I have also had
wonderful opportunities to share tidbits of
my parenting and home based working
experiences with writers for Child Magazine,
Time Magazine, and a new book being printed
by Random House due out May 2001. These
physical recognitions of my knowledge being
worth printing for other moms to read have
boosted my self-esteem to new heights. Thank
you, Lesley, for all the wonderful
experiences I have had through HBWM." Mary
Waggoner, President, Senior's Planning
Coordinator
SUPPORT: Our members say it best.....
"How can you go wrong when you join a
group of women who create home based careers
to be available for their children? This is a
special group of people.." Tricia Neves,
Balance Resources
"HBWM is a
wonderful resource for networking and
business tips for people new to a home
business. HBWM is more than a
"pay-your-dues-
and-get-a-newsletter" support group; it
is a national community of women using each
other's services and offering suggestions
while truly supporting each other's
ventures. This is a group of women full of
wisdom, humor and good old-fashioned common
sense helping each other out as sisters in
business." Sue
Wright, Writer & La Leche League Leader,
California
IDEAS: Have you run out of ideas and need
some fresh stuff? HBWM's monthly newsletter is
full of up-to-date information and ideas to
help you succeed in your home-based business.
Our business is to help you succeed!
"The day I
found HBWM changed my life. I got my idea
from HBWM ...and now I have a business that
everyone just loves to hear about. I'm the
only person with a butterfly farm in
Tennessee and I am starting to get a lot of
calls from the press wanting to interview
me. I always tell them I got the idea from
your website. Again, thank you. What you do
for working parents is great. Keep up the
good work." Tina Stracner,
Butterflies Unlimited
