rewrite this title A picture of us from 2005 (+ yes, you can earn from home!)

In 2004, I sat on our thrifted couch, six months pregnant, staring at the glowing computer screen.

I had no degree. No real experience.No impressive resume. No idea what I was doing.

But I did know one thing: I had to figure out a way to earn income from home.

We were on a beans-and-rice budget while my husband, Jesse, was in law school, and I was determined to be home with our baby on the way. I couldn’t afford to waste time or money chasing scams or dead-end ideas.

So I got creative. I used what I did have: a laptop, an internet connection, a burning desire, a whole lot of grit, and lots of time!

And now, more than 20 years later? I’ve helped hundreds of women do the same.

(A picture from our little basement apartment when I was working really hard to get my business off the ground and making a lot of mistakes but learning and slowly starting to see progress. Micah, our 3-year-old, saw this picture on my computer screen this week and said, “Dad, you look younger!!”)
