I'm new to this forum. In fact, new to the whole online business idea. I have always been an entrepreneur started a little mom & pop food store in 1998. Got bored of that oh and had 3 children and in 2001 moved into the photography arena. Digital imaging started getting popular so had to change from film to digital, had a little photo imaging shop/digital printing, along with some freelance and studio photography up until 2005 when i had to finally quit my playing around and get a real job, according to my husband.

Since then I've felt my entrepreneurial spirit die. I day dreamed about being free from the 9-5 cubicle i worked in daily. I hated it, but loved the steady flow of income. Didn't have to worry about where my next pay check would come from. Only this time i had to worry about dealing with a boss.

Each day at work, however, i would day dream about being home when my children were home. I missed going to the school events and helping with their homework. i knew I'd have to make a change.

So, here I am, spending countless nights on the internet, trying to find out what everyone else is doing. I still don't have my niche. if i was to start an online business, what would I be promoting, and how? How do I figure all of this out, the acronyms were mind boggling. it has been nearly 2 months. I have spent endless nights, tiring my eyes, my body, my arms to find that ultimate online generating business.

Did I find one? not sure yet, but I've definitely bumped into something that has helped me find my niche in 2 days. It has helped me to refine my ideas, to go over with me each individual step to find the right business online. It's not an MLM, thank goodness, but I am so happy with the results so far and I am only on day 2. There are 10 days to the whole process and i can already see progress in the way it helps me to keep focused on my tasks and has helped me finally find my niche after 2 grueling months of searching and spending over $5,000 in mistakes I can finally say I am on my way.

I have been in the same position as you but I recently found this great home based business that really works and its FREE! I finally found a business that is not a MLM and does not ask me for any money for start-up kits, etc. Check out this website, I think it is what you are looking for. www.shopnetonmpm.com

Good Luck in everything you do!!

Congrats to all of you! I do work at home doing medical transcription and have for 15 years .. sometimes I'd love to do something else that gives me more time for myself but I guess I shouldn't complain because I make good money and am home when my kids need me!
