business running QuickBooks for local small businesses. Additionally, once a local business owner is using you for their bookkeeping, it's easy to make yourself available for other administrative duties at $15-20 per hour.


For The Athletic Mom:

We've all seen the headlines. America is more over-weight than ever. Perhaps part of the problem is that everyone else at the gym is in great shape. It can make you feel pretty lousy about going. There's no doubt that the need for increased privacy has fueled the growth of fitness chains like Curves.

If you are a mom who exercise comes easy to, you could double up your existing work out with coaching other moms. How about making yourself available a couple of hours each morning to do in-home aerobics, Pilates, or yoga for women in your community?

By going to them, you're providing a valuable service. The women you serve are getting total privacy, as well as not having to drive or find a sitter.


For The Caring / Nurturing Mom:

One of my favorite businesses for the stay-at-home mom, is the idea of in-home daycare. If you've got little ones, you're already in the care-giving mode. Adding a couple of your neighbors' kids to the mix, helps socialize your own child while lining your pockets.

It is not uncommon to see moms caring for 3-4 children in addition to their own, at a rate of $8-10 per hour per child. At $200 - 300 per day, for doing what comes so naturally to you, it may not get better than that.

Be sure to check out the regulations in your area for running a home daycare. The costs of getting licensed are minimal compared to the fines for not!


In the end, you should try and choose a home business that reflects your existing skills and gifts. By doing so, you're taking a huge step towards guaranteeing your success, while simultaneously minimizing your stress load. Strive to think outside of the box when it comes to what people would gladly pay for your talents, because it makes their lives easier!
