    Erika C
    Hey Mah.com

    Children and their ages:
    2 girls, ages 5 & 1

    Started Business: This year

    Products/Services:
    My website offers articles and advice for mothers that work at home/stay at home. I'm also building a directory of sites where moms can find information on where to find other sites for mothers, job opportunites and shopping links to shop from mom owned businesses.

    Why you chose this business :
    I love to intereact with other mothers; helping them to find a way to work from home or to share how they are successful at working at home. Helping out other moms is the purpose of my website!!

    Hardest part of business :
    Getting this website established and getting the word out about it to increase traffic. Also, finding the time to build up the pages so they have more information for my readers.

    Best part of business:
    The best part has been hearing from moms that I've helped to point them in the right direction with working at home. Encouraging other moms and seeing them "go for it" is the best feeling in the world!

    Are you successful by your standards?
    Emotionally,I feel as though I'm successful with this site, simply because I really enjoy running it. I wouldn't say that I'm financially successful with my site yet. But, it's new and these things take time.

    Biggest support :
    My husband has supported me the most. He is behind me all the way when it comes to doing something I enjoy and believe in doing.

    Anything you would do different?
    I would have followed my heart and started this website up long ago. Fear held me back from starting it up... the fear of failure is a nasty thing! But, I finally shook those feelings, and jumped right in both feet!

    Are You in Touch with the Competition?

    Competition is an ugly word. Competitors are a fact of life. If your business can't compete with other businesses, don't start it. You have to have some type of an edge. You may have an excellent product or service, but if everyone else is selling a similar product/service, just how much of the market can you expect to capture?

    Creative Discipline for Children

    I’m no child expert, but I have been a mother long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. Sometimes, as parents, we inflict more harm than good simply because we feel angry, tired, or frustrated. Thinking about effective disciplining practices BEFORE they are needed can help save you and your children a lot of heart ache later.

    Streakin

    It took two years, six months and five days. We thought the day would never arrive, but it did. It was the day my children realized they were both here to stay. No, baby brother isn’t leaving. No, big sister isn’t either. Confronted with this inalterable fact, my children changed their tactic.
