Dear Frustrated, Frazzled Mom or Dad,

Eight weeks from now, you can be working at home – while maintaining your financial security, improving your sanity, strengthening your marriage and heightening the bond with your kids.

It takes care and planning. But your dream of meeting the needs of your family, getting paid well for work you enjoy and arranging your day around your needs and those of your children is definitely within reach.

I did it. Others did it following my guidelines. And so can you.

Escape from your cubicle IS possible!

My name is Mary Shaw, and not long ago, I was in your situation: Working full-time in a high-stress job and making too many compromises that left too little quality time for my family and myself. Every day I felt pulled in seven different directions. Mommy guilt followed me around like a black cloud.

Today I no longer need to worry about precious moments I might be missing – first steps, first words, first somersaults and all kinds of mother-daughter fun. My husband and I spend a lot more time together, too.

No, I am not stuffing envelopes or working some multi-level marketing scheme. I make good, honest money, working less than 20 hours a week, and our family’s finances are as solid as they were before.

Yet before I took the leap to work at home, I had the same fears and doubts you undoubtedly feel right now. Are there really ways to get paid outside the corporate environment? Can I figure out how to juggle work and family at home? Will I still feel like myself as a work-at-home mom?

You don’t need to simply sweep those doubts and fears under the rug. Instead, realistically deal with them step by step by following the eight-week action plan in my ebook, The Mommy Track: How To Live A Full-time Life On Part-time Income.

What are your best options? Here’s how to check them out. How will you pay the bills? Handled. Will your spouse and children go along? Check that off the list. What about loneliness and isolation at home? You can easily head those off . What’s the best way to give notice? Done. Ahhh!

Step by step, a satisfying new lifestyle becomes possible

The Mommy Track answers just about every question you most likely have about earning a good living working from home – and many questions you might not think of asking. Moving through the guidebook chapter by chapter, you eliminate all doubt and fear so you can move forward with confidence toward more time with your family, financial comfort and greater happiness.

Here are just a few of the helpful, reassuring tools and insights that become yours with The Mommy Track:

• Portrait of a typical no-more-commuting day, with a client phone appointment, a play date at the beach and work on the client’s project – busy but not exhausting or depleting

• The five biggest complications that can crop up in the work-from-home lifestyle – uniquely challenging, yet manageable when you are expecting them

• Did you take care of everything you need to work profitably at home?  A 13-point list summarizes each “must do” so you can check them off and know you’re ready to move ahead to your new work-at-home lifestyle

When you finish working your way through the eight-week preparation stage, you’ll have covered all your bases and set things up so you can breeze ahead into self-employment at home. 

But do these steps apply to you?

It’s natural to think your situation is unique.  Yet based on my research and the experiences of those who’ve made the shift to work-at-home parenthood, your biggest fears probably fall into one of these areas:

• Will we have enough money to get by?
• Am I cut out to work for myself?
• What can I do to earn money if I’ve never freelanced and don’t have professional skills?
• Is the grass truly greener on the other side?

The Mommy Track: How To Live A Full-time Life On Part-time Income addresses every one of these fears, practically and thoroughly.  For me, far and away the biggest inner obstacle was financial worry.  After many years of working my way up the corporate ladder, I was earning significantly more than my husband was.  The thought of cutting our income by more than half scared the bejeezus out of me.  By following all the steps I’ve given you in my ebook, though, I minimized the risks, went ahead and never looked back.

Yes, this ebook applies to you if:

• You’re contemplating life as a work-at-home dad (Yes, the work-at-home life can fulfill you, too!)

• For the last several years you’ve been caring for your kids or an aging parent full-time rather than working at a job

• You hold a job that doesn’t seem to have self-employed equivalents

• You’ve put your health in jeopardy from overwork or you consider yourself a workaholic (A saner schedule improves just about anyone’s health)

• Both you and your spouse want to break away from the corporate grind

• You have kids and are widowed, divorced, separated or single

• You live anywhere – in a bustling metropolitan area, a suburban subdivision or someplace out in the boondocks

And you won’t have to go into debt for this guidance!

To tell the truth, I struggled to collect all of this information.  I discovered a little of it here, a little there and some of it through sheer bull-headed persistence.  What motivated me finally to find the last pieces of the puzzle for myself – and for you – was a sudden, life-threatening illness my daughter had when she was three years old.  While she was lying in a hospital bed recovering from three days in the Intensive Care Unit, I resolved that I was not going to go back to the full-time job that was keeping me away from her for way too many hours of her precious, irreplaceable childhood.

Best of all, it’s instantly downloadable, so within minutes you can begin learning and planning so as to turn your life toward part-time work at home and full-time contentment.

Try it risk-free for 90 days

Can The Mommy Trackreally help you overcome your fear of quitting the 9-to-5 corporate grind so you can enjoy more time with your family?

Yes, it can.  It will.  But you don’t need to take my word on that.  Your $29 investment in your future cubicle-free life is backed by an iron-clad money-back guarantee.

But you do risk something by not ordering.  You risk missing the chance to participate in more of your children’s daily activities, strengthen your marriage, have more time for yourself, do good in your community and lead a less stressful, healthier, happier life.

The choice is yours.

 

All the best,

Mary Shaw
Part-time work-at-home Mom

P.S. Because I really want you to have as much inspiring information about making the switch as possible, I’m tossing in a bonus recording that helps you understand how you can create a profitable work-at-home career without any particular experience or skills.  I interviewed Dianna Huff, who launched a home-based copywriting practice 10 years ago when her son was born.  She had no contacts and no experience – only a copywriting handbook by Bob Bly.  Her interview shows how you too can start from scratch and create a lifestyle that works for both you and your family.
