A new homeschooler’s quest for the perfect resource can result in “appetite without activity”. Here’s how to break through information overload and get moving!
Resolutions aren’t only for New Years. They can be a way of setting a higher standard. Our homeschools and our families will both benefit in the long run.
Homeschooling mom and WAHM Pat Fenner gives valuable ideas on how to “get it all done”.
If you can have creativity without excellence, but not excellence without creativity… what’s the difference between the “slob” and the “excellence-seeker”?
There is no formula for the “typical” homeschool, or the typical home business. Success looks different for everyone. Bottom line is: does it work for YOU?
Whatever your motivation for starting a home biz, or before you even get to the “nitty gritty” of deciding your niche, your product, your company, your marketing plan, etc. – have you given a thought to how your home business will impact your family life, and even more specifically, the relationship with your husband?
Homeschooling is of course first and foremost a family journey. But don’t ignore the help and encouragement that can come from a good and experienced coach!
With a healthy amount of effort and continued education, you can channel your homeschooling zeal to help others on the journey, as you continue to educate your own.
Excellence doesn’t seem to be a sought-after quality these days. In order to reintroduce the concept to our culture, we have to know what it is characterized by and what it looks like.
