You can become unbelievably successful working from home! However, be aware of drawbacks ahead of time. Confirm any claims a company makes. Check references. Make sure there is ample training available. Be aware of any additional costs (training materials, required seminars, sales aids, etc)

I was very fortunate to enroll with team that I did choose to work with from home with. That's one of things I like best - it's a team of individuals working from home and supporting one another. Everything was spelled out from beginning and although we work for ourselves, we don't work by ourselves. Yes, there are a lot of people making hundreds of thousands of dollars with this company. Some of them are doctors. Some of them hold prestigious degrees. Most of them are work at home mothers that have made enough money to bring their husbands home. A lot of them are single mothers that have assured their children's futures and don't have to go to bed each night, worrying how they're going to pay bills. In all of their cases, it required hard work, dedication and a drive to succeed "no matter what". In my opinion, those are qualities that will make your a success working from home. If you happen to have those qualities or you know someone else who shares those qualities, don't hesitate to visit Moms For Life.

I do wish each and every one of you tremendous personal and entrepreneurial success!

3. Talk to your local bank. Find out what they require for a business loan application and also if they are participants in SBA loan programs. Be diligent and shop around for best loan packages, and make sure you fully understand terms.

4. You may be able to borrow from insurance policies, IRAs, 401k's, stocks and securities, etc. Check with your insurance agent. Also, investigate what policies are regarding borrowing from your mutual funds or retirement account. Before borrowing, make sure you fully understand pay-back terms and any potential penalties.

5. Apply for a home equity loan. Borrowing against equity on your home is permitted in all states except Texas. Just make sure you're diligent about paying back loan or you could end up losing your home.

6. If you're a woman, you may be eligible for a Specialty Loan. These types of loans are now being offered by local banks. Who knows? Filling out a one-page application just might get you an unsecured credit line or loan ranging from $2500 to $50,000.

7. Try borrowing from family members and/or relatives. If you have a good relationship with your family, perhaps you can make a persuasive argument for them to loan you money for your home business. Just remember, borrowing from family or relatives shouldn't be treated any differently than borrowing from a bank. It's just as important to pay them back on time as well.
