So Confused

Hi ladies,

I have tried a couple different times to work from home selling things, and I'm just not very good at it. I don't know if it's the selling or if it's the time management. I think it might be a combination of the two. I'm a special education teacher and miss it very much. But I have a 2-year-old and two older children that appear to really need me at home. But I'm starting to, dare I say, get bored with being home and taking care of the kids and the house. I'm really missing the professional life I used to have. If I could find something to do at home that didn't require selling, that would be really cool, but I just don't think it exists, and I miss teaching. I have been thinking about getting my license to do some teaching from my home, but my home is just not very big. And a job has opened up in my county that would be PERFECT for me, I think anyway.....

Anyway, as you can see I'm just so darn confused. Has anyone worked from home without having to sell anything? Or does anyone know of anything that doesn't require selling or investment? Anyone know of JOBS from home? Not a BUSINESS?

Hi Karen,

I just wanted to let you know that I did my ambassador sign up for Barefoot Books and made my first stock order today. It really did go as smooth as they said it would. I was able to put $500.00 worth of merchandise in my cart and I was able to get free shipping and only paid $250.00. So I am thrilled. I basically did all my Christmas shopping for my nieces and nephews and got $250.00 of "free" books. This also bumped me up to a Step 2 level ambassador so my commission automatically goes to 30% for the rest of the year. That easy. You can also make a "stock order" using multiple credit cards so I think I am going to get my teacher friends together and make another big order. My understanding is that as long as the sale is over $250.00 then anything else coming in from charges would go back to your account. I need to read up on that more before I attempt it.

Did order "I took the moon for a walk". Thanks for the recommendation! You're a natural.

If you would still like to join my team then that would be great. I friended you on this site so that we could communicate more easily. If you are interested even remotely in just getting great books for yourself than the ambassador program will defintely save you some money!

Hope your new teaching position is going smoothly and that it is a good fit for you and your family!

Soooo... I'm looking into restarting my Melaleuca biz again. We now have #4 on the way and I can't imagine going back to the workplace! If any of you are interested in trying something new and earning some residual income, let me know!!
