Hello everyone,
My name is Vicki, I have been lurking these forums for some time now and have learned so much new information that I never knew before. This forum has equipped me with new knowledge and understanding of business. I must say I really like the community here and it looks like everyone is genuinely trying to help eachother out. So I decided to finally join and be more active and well I have a lot of my own questions.

I think ever since I was a kid it's been my dream to run a business and be my own boss. For as long as I can remember I never liked the idea of working for someone. Since I've become a mother(I have 3 kids) , it's more important than ever for me to be my own boss. I want to work whenever, wherever I want and to have the freedom to drop what I'm doing and go outside play with he kids. I want to work from home so I don't miss out on them growing up and so I can always be there for them. I have been working on a few online businesses that will mainly generate income through advertising, and have an interest in developing .coms and selling them but still got lots to learn. I think my biggest setback is my husband who constantly tells me to "get a real job" and that I will never succeed in what I do. That the real way to go is get a stable 9-5 job. He always says that with his job he has great benefits, a retirement fund, and so on while I'm living in a dream of running my own business that when it comes to retire I will have no money. I have been pretty successful thus far and yet that still hasn't changed his opinion of needing to have that 9-5 job. So pretty much that one person who you rely on and expect them to be your biggest supporter is actually the worst. I cannot imagine myself working all day making a so-so income, having someone else raise my kids, then come home have to cook, clean, laundry , get the kids washed in bed, to only go to sleep and do it all over again. I cannot and WILL NOT do the same thing every day for the rest of my life and then retire on a budget that will barely get you by. I cannot be in the slowlane and refuse to be in it.

Wow, I'm surprised your husband is not more supportive of your dreams and goals. Thanks for the posting the great intro and maybe we can be here to help be the hand of support.

Welcome Vicki! I'm sorry to hear your husband isn't more supportive of your business endeavors. I also am trying to get in the fastlane while raising a family. I hope you prove him wrong!
