Did you know that over 40 percent of all businesses in Canada today are owned and operated by women?

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, really.

Women, particularly mothers, are excellent multi-taskers. Think about it: children, spouses, ex-spouses, aging parents, housework, jobs, volunteer duties, shopping, groceries, exercise…got the picture?

Yes, women are natural-born balancers and some might suggest they are best-suited to run a work at home business. Not surprising that a women’s home based business is often so successful!

The sign says Do Not Disturb...

So how does a stay-at-home mom convince her family -- including her husband -- that when she is working in her home office she shouldn’t be interrupted unnecessarily?

Here are some tips to make it work:

Set ground rules about when it is ok for family to interrupt your work and when it is not -- like during business calls or when clients are visiting
Hire a babysitter to keep kids safe and happy while you can’t be disturbed
Don’t Forget to Set Aside Time for Family

Just as you need to structure work hours, the flipside is respecting time that you have reserved for family… which is not always an easy task, especially once your work at home business takes flight.

Great Women’s Home Based Business Ideas

Certainly there are all types of women who have all types of personal interests and experiences, but generally speaking, there are certain careers that are especially suited to become a women’s home-based business. Here are a few:

Health and Beauty Advisor – if you love to use these products, it’s a natural that you might love selling them.

Weight Loss Consultant – many women know the challenges of weight management and knowing a problem can make you a good coach to help solve the problem.

Fitness Trainer – getting certified isn’t a big investment time-wise or $$$

Senior care – Mothers are natural caregivers, so why not make money doing it? Recently franchises have sprung up in this growing business sector.

Mystery Shopper – retail chains hire consultants to monitor customer service.

Personal Assistant – many high-level executives are hopelessly in need of organizing their personal lives…and households!

Cleaning Services – franchises are available and you can earn you lot’s of cash with minimal investment.

As you can see, the possibilities are endless. If you’re motivated to create a career and earn income for yourself but need to balance it with raising children, finding a women’s home based business is worth considering!
