One key to success in life is having a great home life. It can be very discouraging to create a great income if you don't have anyone to share it with.

My husband and I just watched the movie The Bucket List last night and that message came through loud and clear. If you haven't seen it, watch it.

The movie does have a few crude words in it unfortunately but the message is great.

(I can't wait for someone to start producing great films with great messages that are suitable for everyone to watch. Why does Hollywood always have to throw in at least one stupid word, scene or concept that ruins the whole thing?)

Anyway, The Bucket List did a great job of showing the elements of having a great home in the life of Morgan Freeman's character.

Most of the people I hang around with also have great home lives. They focus on their children, the host family-oriented parties, they are forward-thinking. But not everyone is like that.

Too many people these days spend so much time at work that they miss out on the important things. They miss watching their baby or grandbaby take his first step. They miss helping their daughter ride her first bike without training wheels.

And before long, they attend their child's graduation and realize the end of that phase is over and he's off to start life on his own… without you.

It doesn't have to be that way.

Even if you work outside the home, there are things you can do to cement your crucial relationships.

And if you are concerned that your work-outside-the-home may soon be coming to an end, learn how to turn that computer of yours into an ATM like thousands of other folks are doing.

In this day and age, if you don't figure out how to create your own in come, your security is in the hands of someone else. Sometimes that's scary.

That's what I help folks do.

And one of the very cool stay-at-home moms that is in my Inner Circle helps people establish and nurture great home environments.

I'll send you the number to call soon. For now, just mark your calendar and plan to listen in on Tuesday night.

Life is too short to live mad at each other, disorganized and unhappy. Let Marilyn help you.

Examples of Folks Who Work From Home

There are so many cool ways to make money from home. It is easier now than it ever has been in history to work from home because of the Internet and because even big companies are learning to outsource.

I operate my online business from my bedroom. I have a computer, two file cabinets stacked on top of each other, a fax machine and a bookcase full of business resources all in sight from my bed.

Now that may drive some folks who need their privacy crazy. But not me. I love to surround myself with inspiration. And so far, it hasn't bothered my husband.

I also have an accountant. She operates her business from her home a few miles from here.

She has a 3-story home in a beautiful rural setting with no other houses in sight. The bottom floor of her home has a separate entrance where her workers and clients enter.

Unless you remember how you got there, you don't even realize her office is on a farm. It has all the most up-to-date office equipment in each of the offices.

Yet the view when you step out the front door of the office reminds you that you are waaaay out in the sticks. It's breathtaking.

Commute?

Forget it.

I also get my hair cut at a shop that's in the backyard of very nice house in a very nice neighborhood.

My hairdresser has a very nice life. Her husband goes off to work, her kids go off to school and she works in her shop just steps behind her house whenever she wants to.

If she needs to pick the kids up from school, she doesn't schedule her clients for that time slot.

Each of us have learned to combine our work with our other responsibilities like feeding the family, school and family activities.

After all, the Ideal Woman in Proverbs 31 had a home business. She purchased real estate with her earnings. That means that besides being a business woman, she was also a REAL ESTATE INVESTOR!

I think that is cool.

So if you are stuck in a rut job, challenge yourself to get out of it. Others have. Others are.

And we have a community of committed families who are willing to help. We'd love to have you join us!
