Work at Home Moms

I'm curious about earnings goals. I'm a hobby-level Mary Kay consultant with a part-time out-of-home job, but I'm thinking of kicking it up a notch with the direct sales. An extra $300 a month would really help me pay down my student loans faster, so I'm thinking of making that my goal.

Do you have a certain amount per month that you seek to earn? Or do you just take things as they come?

That's a great question.  I do medical transcription from home.  There is a minimum amount of lines we have to do to stay employed, but really we can make a lot more when work is plentiful.  There's enough work now, but I am so demotivated from pay cuts and incessant system changes that I do what I have to do and get out (20 hours per week).  I should set the bar higher for myself, but I don't see it happening now.  Perhaps in 2 years when my Big Dave begins kindergarten if I am still doing this then??  Or maybe I have kicked it up a notch by still working with the four young children, lol.  I can never decide.

As for you, home life is obviously only getting busier so don't spread yourself too thin and good luck!!!!

I think in terms of hours instead of income when I set goals. But then there is direct link between the # of hours I sew and the amount of money I earn.
