Back to school tips for Work at Home moms

For many work at home moms it means more time to work. For others, like me, it means more work because you either homeschool or volunteer at school during the school year.

Here are some things to keep in mind in the coming month.

1. Christmas will be here before you know it. Plan a few open houses and Christmas sale events now. Decide what your Holiday specials will be.

2. Schedule time to work on your business. Don't just let life happen and try to work around it. You will find you have accomplished nothing.

3. Enjoy your kids while you can and remember why you are working from home in the first place.

    Women Certifying Their Business Can Land More Lucrative Contracts

    If you're a woman running your own company, you're likely missing out on lucrative opportunities if you haven't yet become certified as a woman-owned and operated business.

    Owners who have undergone the process report that certification definitely helps move the needle when selling their services and products. "It has opened doors with large corporations. And we think it has helped us locally and regionally," says Elaine Lyerly, who founded her Charlotte,

    N.C., marketing agency back in 1977, but only became certified in 2004.
