Challenges Facing Southern Home Business Moms

Posted 28th December 2008 at 11:04 AM by ShayB
The national trend is that moms are looking to make the move to work from home.
There are numerous reasons why this is so:
But there are some special challenges that face some Southern moms who want to make the change to work from home.
Weather - many Southern Moms (myself included) live in areas where hurricanes and tropical storms are a way of life. Your home (and income) can be destroyed if you do not plan ahead.
Culture - many, many women in the South are taught to work for a company and not to work for yourself - or work at all. (The idea of a woman working to support the family can be distasteful to some men.) Some preachers even say that a woman working to support the family is un - Biblical.
Time - if a mom is trying to raise kids, time can be an issue.
Money - moms may not have the money to start a business.
All of these issues can be overcome, of course - it just takes time, support and effort.
