I began my Phoenix Trading journey in January 2011, it was flexible and an easy product and business to understand.  It has been a surprising support to me since then.

I can do as much 'Phoenixing' as I want which is great when you need flexible working. This has worked for and against me in the past.  At times I have been very busy in my non-Phoenix life and Phoenix has taken a back seat.  At other times I have put real effort into growing my Phoenix business, with good results.  I found there was a time when I really had to work at Phoenix as I needed to bring more money in.  I discovered, and it is probably stating the obvious now, that working hard at it and more importantly working consistently, really helped my business to grow and I started to see results from my hard work.

And then I moved house.  I had to start again. Yes I had my mailing list from before my move.  But it was, and still is, hard to break into my new area, where I don't know many people.  Did I think of giving it up rather than starting over?  Yes.

But then I remembered something that Phoenix gives me that it has always given me no matter what stage my business was at.  I just love doing it!  I love the products.   It gets me out, gets me talking to people, gets me meeting people and gives me something other than the kiddies to focus on even if its just for a short time while I am at a fair (with support from my family who have the kids for me).  In short it keeps me sane!

So I am still happily 'Phoenixing' and slowly but surely growing my business in my new area.

My first ever blog post!

I am feeling very excited about sharing some of the things I have going on right now, and this has lead me to start blogging! So with a little apprehension here I am, entering the blogging world.

The aim of my little blog is talk about my journey as a work from home mum and how my work is going. I hope to talk about the benefits of each type of work and how I make money from them.  I hope to also provide other working from home mums with a little encouragement, some support and 'I know how you are feeling' and perhaps some tips on how I juggle / cope / deal with everything that's going on in my life and my children's lives.
