I'm Bonita Schrader and reside in Illinois with my college sweetheart husband and our 4 children ages 7, 10, 12, & 14. Needless to say, we have very busy household.
Six months after the birth of our first child I became a stay-at-home mom. I had a very secure corporate job but I wanted to be at home with my precious baby. I will admit the transition was difficult at times but it was a decision I have never regretted. Fortunately, my deepest friendships survived and I often connected with those I had previously worked with.
In order to bring in additional income I began attending auctions where I would buy and then resale antiques. It was very profitable for me but with each additional child it become more difficult to attend auctions consistantly.
On July 8, 2003, my now 10 year daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Within 2 days of diagnosis surgery was performed and the tumor completely removed. She is perfectly fine now with no residual affects from the tumor or the surgery! What a miracle!
However, we were left with six figure medical bills. Insurance paid a good portion of it but were still left with a sizeable chunk. I began my quest for a work at home job. I did find a company that I felt comfortable with that has a great product. The only problem was that I found myself constantly on the phone which took away from my kids. They became very resentful. I was also spending money purchasing leads - thus eating what I profit I was making. I knew something was going to have to change.
I was sharing my frustration with an online business associate who then told me about the wonderful company he had just signed up with - SendOutCards! The more he talked about the company I knew this was for me!
SendOutCards is all about building relationships, personal & business, through the use of custom greeting cards. Our cards are generated online but a real card is sent out! As we say "You click - we print, stuff, stamp, & mail for you!" I love the fact that I can send a card to follow up with a prospect and then seconds later send a card to a dear friend who needs encouragement. I can do all this from home and each card was less than $1.00 plus postage.
Some determine success by the amount of money that they make. For me, at this moment, success is all about achieving balance between family and work. I am finding that as I put my family first that income will follow. It's that simple!
Today I will commit one random act of senseless kindness. Will you?

Her Story:
My name is HuiFun Tan. I am a domestic engineer (work-at-home mom) with two boys. I start my own business since January 2005 with Wellness International Network Inc.
I am always looking to do something else to earn extra money beside stay at home and taking care of the kids. I want to take control of my own financial situation. I would like to spend the money that I earn myself. I know it is not easy to achieve the financial dream that we always dreamed of by just depending one source of income from Eric. Wellness International Network provides me the opportunity to achieve our financial freedom in next five with proven successful business plan.
This business does not require me to find a lot of people or customers in order to earn the good money. I just have to find 5 strong leaders who can duplicate the system and have a strong desire to achieve what they need and want in life.
I have a great experience with this company throughout this one-year period. I started the business since last year February. I was given a lot of training and guidance from my sponsors and other business partners. The training center in
Houston
provides me a good place to learn and I show people my business in professional office instead of doing home parties at home.
National conference, regional training meetings and personal development seminars equip me with a solid business foundation while perpetuating my goal setting, improving my self-esteem and motivating lifestyle enhancement. I was shy and did not like to approach strangers. But with this business, I got to step out of my comfort zone and share the great opportunity with peoples.
My family and I are experiencing the great benefits from the products. My son's immune system is improving and my energy level is increasing. I just had my baby four months ago and I manage to lose the baby fat because of the products. I can wear the pants before pregnant and do not worry about gaining back the weight. Since all the products is listed in PDR (Physician Desk Reference for nonprescription drug). I know it is safe for my whole family and my friends to take it.
My company knowing in order to expand more consumer base, we have to have more consumable products. That is why we have other services that people use it daily. The services include cellular phone, local/long distance call, internet, satellite, VOIP and insurance discount card. Big cell phone companies like TMobile, Sprint,Verizon Wireless,Nextell and Sprint teaming up with my company to provide the incredible services since last year 2005.
My advice to those who want to start their own business is try to find something that you love to do and enjoy doing it. Be careful in selecting the good company to do business with. Make several comparisons before you start doing something and ask opinion from those who is doing the business successfully.
Hi, My name is Deanna Whitten
Business Name is Burning with Love Scent Team
This is my story.
I am a mother of 4 boys and was always looking for a way to stay at home and earn some extra money. I am a huge candle fanatic and I tried other leading Candle Companies, they just didn't give me what I was looking for. I was Offered to have my own business with Mia Bella and I explained that I was a little leary about getting into the Candle Party Scene.I was promised that there are other ways to make money besides Parties and I decided to give it a try. All I can say is Wow!!! There are three ways to make money with this company, there is a great support team and Excellent products. These candles are also healthier to
burn. I love what I do and wouldn't change it for the world.
I was raised on Long Island, NY, educated at U.C.S.D. & now reside in the Midwest with my husband & two sons. I'm active in Women's & Children's Ministries at our church & am hopelessly caught in the fun of Scrapbooking.
I have loved decorating since I was a little girl & am an avid fan of most of the shows on HGTV. These shows are popular because many people just don't know what to do to decorate their homes. They have ideas, but need a starting point & some direction along the way; but they really do know what they like & don't like. HGTV's programs help guide them along the decorating path. They have increased the awareness of do-it-yourself possibilities & really opened up the desire for professional help, thereby adding to my business. I have learned through the school of hard knocks & have been around the home decor block several times.
I've worked in marketing & selling since I was out of High School & was an Executive Secretary for over ten years. When my husband & I became pregnant, I suddenly found myself without a job, thus forcing me to be a Stay-At-Home-Mom (which I love!). After our youngest was born, I wanted to earn a little extra income & to keep my hand in the business world. A friend was having a Home & Garden Party & gave me a catalog. I was so impressed with the product & the fact that HGP is a Christian company from the top down that I signed up! Nowhere have I ever worked with people of the high integrity & Christian values as the men & women of Home & Garden Party. It is so refreshing to not have to worry about any of the corporate world's shifting values. Thanks to Home & Garden Party, I have been able to put God first, Family second & Career third. I can augment my family income while I put Brian & the boys first.
I am a Decorator and a Designer & Team Leader with Home & Garden Party. I write decor- & organizing-inspired articles and editorials on current events. I own Decorating with HGPgal, an informative resource site for home decor, decorating tips & accessories, collaborative articles from industry experts & a DecoForum at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HGPgal/.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you as we learn together to banish bad decorating!
