sell/make? <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am currently a stay at home
mum. I have one amazing little boy and
another on the way! I make and sell
crochet items for babies and children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why did you start to make and sell your own
products?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">During my last pregnancy I wanted
to find a way to make money while at home with a new baby. I tried a few things which weren’t really my
thing, and I left the idea for a while.
When one of the talented girls in mothers group showed me a gorgeous
baby blanket she had crocheted for her son, I thought I’d give it a go. After much frustration, online tutorials and
many crochet books, I finally taught myself - and discovered that with all my
perseverance, I was quite good at it! My
great Grandma was excellent at crochet, so I believe I have inherited the skill
from her. So this new found love for
crocheting has consumed a lot of my time this past year and I hope to continue
building my little business and creating wonderful handmade pieces. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A normal day for me involves a
lot of play and learning activities with little man. That takes up most of the day. In between parenting duties, I try and fit in
some study, cleaning and crocheting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>Why are Dreams or Goals so Important?</strong></h3>

Dreams and goals are the backbone of society and innovation. They are the birthplace of human ambition. And a person without a dream or goal is only a shell of his or her full potential.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.25em 2.5em;">
<li><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">Dreams or major goals are so important for a number of reasons including:</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">Dreams motivate you to do your best and reach your full potential.</span></li>
<li>Dreams provide you with positive energy and help to keep you going through hard times</li>

<strong>6 Powerful Ways to Make Your Dreams Come True</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
So, how can we see that we actually accomplish our goals and realize our greatest dreams? Here are 6 tips that you can put to work for yourself immediately to make your dreams a reality.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #309eae; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-weight: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em;">
<strong>1. </strong><strong>Visualize Yourself Reaching Your Dream</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
Visualization is a great first step to make your dream a reality. By visualizing yourself in the final stages and achievement of the dream, you affirm to your subconscious that it can be done and that you are already on your way. T<strong>his limitless supply of positive energy </strong>is crucial to reaching your goal especially when the going gets tough.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #309eae; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-weight: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em;">
<strong>2. </strong><strong>Get Organized</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
The next step in my experience to reaching your greatest dream is to come up with a strategic plan. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
Rather than just dreaming about it and hoping one day it comes to pass, create a plan that you could use to actually see it become reality. Although this can be a daunting task, just remember that<strong>each step gets you that much closer</strong>. Make a list of the first few steps and just do one thing at a time. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
For example if your dream or goal is to lose 50 lbs don’t just start working out randomly. Plan it out and be very particular to how you use your time. Take it one day at a time focusing on making that specific day as efficient as possible towards losing weight.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
This planning and way of thinking will not just bring you closer to your goal, but it will also make you feel good and <strong>positive about your progress</strong>.</div>

<strong>3. </strong><strong>Build a Support Network</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
A strong support system is crucial to being successful no matter what your goal is. Just like how a bridge can’t stand by itself, it’s harder to make a dream a reality on your own.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
You could look at all of the great accomplishments people have made from Steve Jobs founding Apple Inc. to <a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1274022-michael-phelps-mothers-support-big-part-of-olympic-success" style="color: #309dae; text-decoration: none;">Michael Phelps becoming the most decorated Olympian of all time</a> – they have all had people who have supported them and helped them along the way. While this doesn’t mean that you ask someone else to do all of the work for you. Sharing your dream and vision with others who believe in you will greatly help you in your journey towards your goal.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #309eae; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-weight: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em;">
<strong style="line-height: 1.6em;">4. </strong><strong style="line-height: 1.6em;">Ignore the “Haters”</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
There will always be people who refuse to believe in the feasibility of your dream. They will put you down and they may even tell you that your dream is impossible. You must ignore these “haters” and march forward. Don’t let their negativity even touch you and <strong>keep focused and locked in towards your goal</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
Always keep in mind that many people before have tried to stop dreamers from dreaming throughout history. But dreamers have always been triumphant. Look at the example of the Wright Brothers. They dreamt that one day they would fly. People laughed at them and mocked them. But they shut everybody up when they made the first airplane. And today flying is an accepted concept and a basic form of transportation. </div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #309eae; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-weight: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em;">
<strong>5. </strong><strong>Pull The Trigger</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
At some point you’re going to have to make decisions to make your dreams come true. These could be small decisions like going for a morning jog or bigger decisions like taking a large loan from the bank. Just remember that whatever the decision you make, <strong>don’t be afraid of making it.</strong> Always do you due diligence but in the end make sure you “Pull the Trigger” for whichever option you choose. There will be more opportunities in the future but you must make most of what you have now.</div>
<div class="rtecenter" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; text-align: center;">

<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #309eae; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-weight: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em;">
<strong>6. </strong><strong>Develop Self-Confidence</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<a href="http://www.codeofliving.com/articles/15-ways-instantly-build-self-confidence" style="color: #309dae; text-decoration: none;">Self-confidence</a> is crucial to making your dream or goal a reality. Unless you believe in yourself and your abilities completely, you will never be able to reach your max potential. In the simple but powerful words of Peter Pan: “The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.”</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #309eae; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-weight: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em;">
<strong>7. </strong><strong>Transform Your Dream into Energy</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
You must transform your dreams and goals into a burning desire inside of you. You must feel that you want to reach your dream<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZZHJ-s-DtE" style="color: #309dae; text-decoration: none;">more than you even want to even breathe</a>.</strong> Once you’re in this state of mind you will find that there is not much that can stop you. This desire will fuel your every action and give you an endless supply of energy to reach your goal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
This desire can always be found in the most successful people.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, helvetica; font-size: 17.1359996795654px; line-height: 25.7039985656738px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">

does a normal day look like for you? </b></i><i style="line-height: 250%; text-indent: -18pt;">A normal day starts with a crazy morning getting the children up, breakfast and
all getting dressed. Next is the half an hour car trip to day care then off to
work. Maybe a quick shop on my lunch break and back to work for the afternoon.
After work I pick up Ruby and Lochlan and head back home. Ruby and Lockie both
love to help cook dinner, especially if it’s homemade pizza night. Then bath
and shower time. After the kids go to bed it’s time for an episode of my
favourite show Spicks and Specks. A quick clean up, then a couple of chapters
of whatever book I’m lost in and finally bedtime.</i><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 250%; text-indent: -18pt;"><b><br /></b></i></div>

<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; text-indent: -18pt;">I had been working as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, but
when my son came along, I found it challenging to get much work done at the
computer, and was mostly one getting some done while he was sleeping, which
isn’t much time really. On the side I
had been doing some research into making my own natural cleaning and beauty
products, as I had been reading a lot about all the chemicals in regular
products, and with a child in the house wanted to reduce the number of
chemicals we were using and also save money while I was at it. After getting into it all and
creating some great alternatives to our cleaning and beauty products at home, I
realised they were all easy to make with a toddler around, as most was quick to
make and done in the kitchen rather than at a desk. So having had previous
experience with selling handmade goods in the past, I decided to give it a
shot, and start my own natural beauty product line.</i></div>

notifications on my phone. Get my little man dressed and make us breakfast.
After breakfast I do a short workout to help keep fit and give me more energy
for the day, than shower and get dressed. My son usually naps around lunch
time, so the rest of the morning is spent playing, doing work and cleaning,
whatever we can fit in! While he naps, its my time to get on the computer and
do some computer work, which includes graphic work, packaging, listing and
sorting sales. Then in the afternoons, we often like to go out for a walk
(which is a great time to take things in and get inspired), sometimes to the
shops or a park or just to the post box to mail off orders. The afternoons fly,
as we eat dinner around 5pm, and its bath time at 6:30. Once the little man is
in bed around 7, then its back to doing some work for me or relax for a bit!</span><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: medium;"><b>Are You Looking at Starting Your Own Small Business or Just Started a Home Based Small Business?</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></h1>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">There are many reasons why mum's want to start a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>home based small business</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>– flexibility of working around the children, working from home, potential to earn more money and being able to create a better lifestyle. A home based small business gives you options that you wouldn’t normal get if you were employed. It can be a great win-win situation!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">In this day and age there are plenty of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>good business ideas</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>available. Coming up with ideas for a business is usually easy. But how do you turn an idea into a profitable business?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">Well you just need to follow the right business steps. It is a well known fact that a high proportion of businesses fail within the first few years and for business mums it can be a little more challenging; trying to juggle the children, the business and the finances but with the right research, planning and help (Mums in Business has been established especially to assist you) it can be a lot of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>FUN</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and very<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>REWARDING</b>. You can have a very successful business.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Five key points for mums starting up a new business</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">So before starting your own small business<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">you should consider your situation and your business idea. Mums in Business has put together five key points for you to consider before starting your small home business:</span></div>
<ol style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li type="1"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Is this for you?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">Running a business can be challenging and demanding and is not for everyone so before taking the next steps to set up a business it is important to see if it is for you. You need to consider your personality, skills and circumstances. Ask yourself why you want to start a home based business and if you are really suited to running a business or are you just looking for some extra cash.</span></li>
<li type="1"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Are you ready?</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Consider the following:</span><ul>
<li type="disc"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Are you able to work at home?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>At least you will need a computer and an Internet connection. It is also advisable to have a designated place where you can work from that is away from distractions around the house.</span></li>
<li type="disc"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Are you disciplined?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>When working from home it is easy to get distracted by housework, errands, Facebook or personal emails. So do you have the discipline without procrastinating to assign time (a few hours each day or a few days a week) to focus on your business.</span></li>
<li type="disc"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Are you committed and motivated?</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>You will need to learn new skills and try things you have never done before. You will need to motivate yourself on an ongoing basis by setting goals. Are you are up for the challenge?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></li>
<li type="disc"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>What changes will you make?</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>How much time are you prepared to spend on your business and what are you going to give up to achieve that, less time watching TV, less time with the family etc. If you have children at home, who will look after them whilst you are working on your business and how will you pay for that - one less takeaway maybe!</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li type="1"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Need ideas for a business?</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">There are lots of ways to make money online - here are some good business ideas for you to consider.</span><br /><ul>
<li type="disc"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Affiliate marketing.</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>This is where you become an affiliate of someone else's product and sell it for a percentage of the sale. This is an easy method as they deal with everything else – stock, payments, shipping etc. There are sites like Clickbank.com and PayDotDom.com that have thousands of affiliate products at up to 70% commission for you to promote.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></li>
<li type="disc"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Digital/Online products.</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Creating your own digital products, eBooks, Audio, Videos, e-courses, subscriptions and memberships etc to sell is a great business. The key is to find a niche market (people with mutual interests) and bring them together into one place. You will need to create information that people cannot get anywhere else.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">The beauty is you can sell them over and over again once to your niche market it is set up because people download the products straight from your site automatically.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></li>
<li type="disc"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Sell a service (your skills).</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>You can sell just about anything if there is a need for it. Think about what you are good at – event planning, teaching people to use Facebook etc and then create a package of your services to sell on a simple website. Now a day’s location isn’t a restriction with most service businesses as you can use Teleseminars, conferences, Skype, Videos, Audio etc.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></li>
<li type="disc"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Physical products/Ecommerce sites</b>. This method will require you to invest a little more time and money to set it up that the other methods as you have to source products and get those products online. You will also require capital to purchase these products (some companies will allow products on consignment).</span></li>

<li type="1"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>Is there a DEMAND for your product?</b>Far too often business mums start a business, but fail to consider if there is a DEMAND for their business before spending time and money on developing it. It’s as simple as Supply and Demand. You need to supply products to meet the demand. If there is no demand no amount of marketing or money will help you sell your products. You can find out if there is a demand by doing some keyword research. If the research shows that there are buyers searching for your product, then you know there is a demand.</span></li>
<li type="1"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>How are you going to finance your business?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>The good news is that a lot of work at home businesses can be started on a small amount of money but you will need some start up money to fund your business; the amount will depend on the type of business you start. You need to consider what you will spend it on, like on a website, office equipment, stationery, marketing etc. Also you should have funds available to cover costs whilst you are trying to make sales.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><b>A word of caution -</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">Don’t spend any money until you have investigated all avenues. Many times I talk to business women who have spent $3,000 on a magazine ad, or are just about to pay up to $5,000 for a website - there is no way a website needs to cost anything like this.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">So before you spend anything substantial, research the market and suppliers. I can tell you now; there are always other options I am teach you to get you started, like using a free blog instead of a website or using free traffic methods to promote your business. You can always upgrade your website or pay for advertising once you start making money.</span></li>

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I started making these things after a morning tea
catch-up with a girlfriend who had a play mat/pram cover that she had just
purchased but she still had to peg or tie it onto the pram and the comment was
made "I am sure you could make that" so I did with a modification
that allowed you to clip the cover onto the pram so it didn't blow off in the
wind and it just morphed from there with my friends giving me ideas of what
would be handy for them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A normal day for me is getting the kids up and ready for
school as well as getting myself ready for work as a banker 4 days a week,
finishing work and trying to fit in a workout at the gym followed by dinner,
homework and the bedtime routine, after which I will then either plan the next
sewing project or do some sewing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I get my inspiration from my family and friends and their
thoughts on what products they would like that are not out there in the market
and what patterns and colours they want in fabric. As well as this I love just
looking through all the fabrics in store and online. When you see a fabric you can most of the
time think "yes that would look awesome in a particular pattern" but the majority is from customer input.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

although when I buy a new puzzle book I say that I will only do a couple of
them at a time and end up finishing the book in a couple of days which many
would say is not relaxing as the mind is still working. I do also like a bit of brain dead mindless
