Here are some things to consider before making your decision to quit your day job!

Things to consider / do before quitting your job:

Make sure that you and your family can survive on just one source of income.

Adjust your budget accordingly and see what its going to be like.

Make sure you have enough money saved up to carry you and your family over until you find another source of income staying at home.

Don’t expect to start earning $40,000 plus working from home right away.

Start applying for jobs with a current resume and cover letter to see what’s out there for making money while staying at home.

Don’t put all your eggs in one “work at home” basket. Try to think of multiple streams of income to make sure you make enough money to cover all your expenses.

Apply for a work at home job with a current resume and cover letter.

Be advised that most direct sales companies require you to pay start up fees! This is something you are going to have to deal with. Typically these fees are reasonable and most of the time there is no way getting around these fees.

Be apprehensive of make money fast programs. Although there are a few legitimate programs around they are far and few in between. Most of these make money fast programs are scams! Beware!

Understand that it may get very lonely going from a business environment filled with coworkers to working at home by yourself.

Be ready to get creative with your stay at home job. It may be harder than you initially think to make the same kind of money at home versus getting a job.

Start by selling something you already own that has been laying around your house with no use to you.  This item should be something that has little financial or sentimental value; however, someone else may want to pay for. preferably, this item should be easy to pack up and ship, and it should be new (however it can be gently used, still with plenty of life still left in it) and if at all possible in its original packaging.

Once you’ve created yourself a sellers account on eBay.com; take pictures of the items you want to sell; write a description of the items and post them on eBay.com and wait for people to bid on your items.
