			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.momstalkradio.com"><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="http://auntiewahm.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/mms.jpg" alt="Moms Morning Show" width="199" height="108" /></a>WAHMs love to give advice. We really do.  Just look at the number of wahm sites around!  Lumping together all work-at-home moms into one category may not be the best tactic.   Just as women come in all shapes and sizes, so do wahms.  Some wahms dabble in business to add some fun money to their lives.   If you are a stay-at-home mom,  an extra $25 to $50 a week may sound heavenly.  If you need to bring home enough money to feed your family and pay the mortgage, you&#8217;re going to have an entirely different business mindset.</p>
<p>While many wahms start a business when they begin having kids, not all of us are juggling babies and preschool.  When I first started my business, my concerns <em>were</em> centered around the kids. &#8220;How do I fit in the hours I need to work and still be a good mom?&#8221; was my number one topic.   I love networking with other wahms, but lately I&#8217;m feeling a bit old and out of place.  My girls are teens now.  They are in school all day and when they do manage to be home, they certainly don&#8217;t need me to entertain them.  Recently on <a href="http://momstalkradio.com/2008/moms-morning-show-184/">Mom&#8217;s Morning Show</a> we tackled the topic of entertaining the kids during the summer.  Kelly McCausey decided that it was a good week for her to take off &#8211; her son is a teen and like me, doesn&#8217;t have to worry about setting up a play office to keep him busy!</p>
<p>My businesses are solid, my routines are established.  I&#8217;m ready to dive into meatier topics.  What next?  Where do I go from here?  How do I make more money working fewer hours? Who can I hire to do the work I don&#8217;t want to do or can&#8217;t do. Actually, I should probably say won&#8217;t do.  There are so many things that need to be done that somehow don&#8217;t make it to the top of my to-do list.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time for me to step deeper into the business world and explore more mature business topics.   Are you a mom with babies and toddlers, or are your kids older or even grown and gone?  If you have a wahm-oriented site, you might want to keep us in mind.  (Psssst&#8230;some of us actually have money to spend.)</p>
