Women's Way To Wealth

When deciding what business to start, consider if a flexi-business is what you need. But first, some background….

After two days of intensive training and learning this week I’m inspired to look at Women’s Way To Wealth through different eyes and see how I can bring more value to you, my readers.

Two words have come up a lot over the past couple of days. Freedom (my big “WHY” in life) and flexibility.

As women, moms, daughters, partners, wives, friends, business women and employees (to name just a few!) we wear many hats. If we’re creating income whilst also juggling these many responsibilities we need a business that is flexible and fits around our other commitments. That is the definition of a true flexi-business.

So that got me to thinking about what Women’s Way To Wealth is all about and how I can make a difference to all the women out there who want the same things I do – freedom and flexibility.

Before I get to the point (and I promise I will shortly), I’d like to clarify the Women’s Way To Wealth name. The “wealth” in this context, and my  meaning of it, is not just financial wealth, although that’s an important part of it. I’m talking about wealth in the widest sense, including living a wealthy and abundant lifestyle, enjoying fulfilling and meaningful relationships, and richness and generosity in all aspects of your life.

So, is a flexi-business right for you?

There are three major components to your flexi- business which will give you all the income and freedom you’re looking for.

1. Fun

Don’t even think of doing anything (ANYTHING!) that you don’t enjoy. If it doesn’t make your heart sing, and you don’t feel you could it every day for the next two years, then don’t go there. I can’t tell you the number of online businesses I’ve started in niches that I deemed highly profitable, but where I had little personal interest in, that haven’t worked.

In fact, working on anything that isn’t fun or doesn’t excite you will just drain your energy. While you can make money from businesses that don’t light your fire, you won’t get the same profits or satisfaction from them, so why would you? Do something fun and you’ll reap the rewards.

2. Flexibility

OK, this sounds obvious but are you clear on what the “flexible” in flexi-business means for you?

Do you have a clear idea of what you’re trying to achieve, when you’re available to work or how many hours you’re prepared to commit to making your flexi-business a success?

If you have kids and can work during school hours, great. You can carve out a big chunk of time during the day. If you’re working in a job though, you may have to work in the evenings (but better that than spending hours glued to the TV).

The definition of a flexi-business is a business that allows you to work where as well as when you want. Just think about that for a moment. What if you could travel the world working only from your laptop or ipad? Or run a business during your daily train journey or at the local coffee shop?

Or have a lifestyle business that only requires you to spend a couple of hours on it every day, or week.

Or a business that you set up and automate, which you can leave to run on autopilot (niche websites are the perfect “set and forget” business). Creating new income streams or starting a home business doesn’t have to mean months of hard work and drudgery.

3. Family-friendly

There are two aspects to this. The first is flexibility which we talked about above, which allows you to work around your family and kids. Work when and as much as you want, depending on your commitments.

The second is that your business can grow as your kids do. My work patterns are quite different now that my kids are at school full-time, as opposed to when they were little and I would work during their nap times. You don’t get that level of flexibility when you’re working for someone else.

So, consider these three pointers before you start your new flexi-business and be clear on what you want and what you’re willing to commit to, to make your new business a success.

And then? Start taking massive action.
