i'm finding it a little difficult.
i asked for a hard copy of the book. 1, so that i could take notes and highlight it up, and 2, i don't like the digital book trend. as i didn't NEED the hard copy, when they said they couldn't send out all 400 requests for the book, i decided that was ok.
this book is about making money as a stay-at-home-mom. making money at all is a struggle for us. and it's not necessarily from lack of trying.
the book challenges you to make lists of things that you have passion about, and that you enjoy doing. i'm not sure i have ANYTHING that fits into both of those categories. i'm not a very original person either, so a LOT of the things i come up with have already been done, and better by someone else. (point in case. my sister sent me a pin about turning hello kitty coloring pages into pink-work quilt blocks. couple months later, we see a coloring book at sams, and i tell her i saw someone do pink-work quilt blocks with them.)
the number of mlm businesses we've tried is hilarious (melaleuca, tupperware, mary kay, xango, close to my heart, quixtar). i have the knowledge, and shaun has the people skills. neither of us has any sales ability.
i have ideas of things that might work, but no way to turn those ideas into something productive.
we have no income (shaun is a freelance artist who struggles with self esteem and self-image), and therefore have no way to save.
we are stuck in a rut, and there is no foreseeable way out. *i'm supposed to stay home and be mom to 5 kids.
i'm tired of the fighting to survive. i'm tired of never being able to do things with friends or my own kids because there is no $. i'm tired.
