All different types of people are great in home based businesses however there is one type of person who seems to do especially well in this industry and that is stay at home moms. This can apply to women who already stay at home or women who work who would like to work from home. I believe one of the reasons why this type of moms are so great is that they have great motivation. After all what will motivate you more than your children and wanting what's best for them?
If you are already a mom that stays home you have one really great advantage and that is that you already have more time freedom than women who work a full time job and have kids. Being a stay at home mom is no walk in the park, in fact it's one of the hardest jobs imaginable but at least you are more in control of how you are able to spend your day and you don't have a boss telling you what to do and when to do it. This time freedom is what will make you really successful.
Even if you are only able to work a couple hours a day you can still be really successful. Some stay at home moms work their business while their kids are napping or while they are playing peacefully with each other (for however long that lasts haha) and that is all the time they need to build a successful business from home.
Also, depending on the age of your children it might also be possible to work after they have already gone to bed. Just a few small pockets of time through the day make a big difference and can really help you to build a business that can change your life forever.
Finally a lot of stay at home moms crave the ability to talk to other adults during the day and this will give you a sense of being social and getting to have "grown up" conversations which can keep some women sane through the week.
