How This House Wife and Mother Struggle’s With Future And…..

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

How I’m Struggling With My Future and…..

I stay at home with my kids while my husband goes to work. As much as I love knowing that we will be able to put food on the table…I miss my husband when he is gone. I works 12 hour days but is gone from me for 16 hours a day. Every two weeks he works a night shift, so I hardly see him.

I do what a stay at home wife and mother does. You know the every day things to keep the family going. Laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning. We also have a small farm so there is also feeding the chickens, horses, pigs etc.. As much as I love our life I struggle to see where our future is going to be like.

It seems like we do the same thing every day and never get a head of the game. Nothing changes and it seems like daily life piles up on us and I cant dig myself out at times.

Why I feel This Way

I feel like nothing is changing because I am not doing something right. I haven’t been taking the action I need to that gets things changed. I feel stuck though… what should I do to change my life? How will it actually change it if I find something to do?

I ask these questions of myself often. I also tell myself that “does it really matter?” “if I don’t try then I will never know”

Taking The Action I Need To Change

You know, its not easy making decisions and taking action when you are so comfortable in what your doing in your life. But you have to change, grow and make those big decisions.

I damn near crapped myself just thinking about changing and getting out of my rut. I was in it for so long that I didn’t realize that I had is a small way grown content of where we were at, but I wasn’t happy…. if that even makes sense. I was always looking or wondering what else could be out there that was better, and how could I contribute more to my family financially. Even though the job of being a wife, mother and the rock everyone leans on is a huge accomplishment in the every day sense and its very much appreciated, I know lots of women like me thinking they want to help contribute more.

My reasons for contributing to my family more is so my husband can take some days off of work to spend more time with us. If he isn’t working at his regular job, he is working here on our farm. I want to earn some extra money, help out more. Even if its just to get some more play time in. I also have bigger dreams and they get bigger every day, but that would be thousands of pages of reading.

My Take Action Steps

I finally think I have come up with a plan….

I am happy doing it and get more excited every day about it. As time goes by I can see my future, clear as a bell and picture perfect.

I started Internet Marketing and Blogging

I went to get all the tools and training I need.. no more searching

Who knew that blogging could make you money? Well I’m sure lots of people already know that, but I didn’t  I am very new to Internet Marketing, so most of the concepts are foreign to me.

The great thing about this blog set up is that everything is already set up. All I need to do is write something, share it on my social networks and watch a training video everyday to earn money.

It’s so simple that it doesn’t really cut into my day either. I take a couple hours a day to get my tasks done and I’m good to do the other daily things that needs to get done.

It’s really a 1, 2, 3 step simple system that I can actually understand. It really has been amazing for me. Changes are happening everyday for me now and I am happy. I feel like I am contributing and playing my part in our family and it feels great.

If your looking to make changes sign up for this blog system and I am confident you wont regret it.

What the really great thing is, I have a group of people to help me ever step of the way too!
