Live.Awake: Working from Home Tips

    One of the things about Heather that I have noticed that she didn't mention here is that she has always been willing to ask for things. A great example is when she got her boss to pay for child care. I never would have asked for that because I would not have believed it was possible.

    Also, there is an issue of faith here at work. God has really blessed us.

    Great job, Heather! I think that asking is always key, and we so often are afraid to ask for things! I mean, you can even ask for discounts at grocery stores, department stores, etc! It never hurts to ask, we just can't take "no" as something personal, you know? Thanks for sharing your testimony about this. I had no idea you work at home. You are one busy woman!

    Heather, I so needed this post. Since starting my 2 businesses, what I'm doing is NOT working! I have such a hard time setting boundaries. I keep thinking that when the business really get going, it will be easier, but I know that's not true. I need to make a plan.

    Sarah, I thought about the not working side too. I have def. gone through those periods as well, but I tend to do what has a finished product. That usually is work so that was what I would turn my hand to. I am glad that it is working itself out as I put boundaries up because I would go from one extreme to the other never feeling balanced. It def. takes some time to work out the kinks, but I think once you do that it is well worth it to have that time with the kids and still be bringing in some much needed money :)
