Is Millionaire a Bad Word to Work at Home Moms?
Ok, not sure if this will ruffle a few feathers but I’ve got something I’m curious about.
I’ve been in the work at home mom community quite a few years now and it seems to me that very few work at home moms aspire to becoming millionaires and I’m wondering why.
I mean, why not create the kind of wealth that can give you the kind of freedom you can only dream about now?
Why not bring your husband home from that job that takes him away from his family and have him home too?
Why not have the ability to donate to charities and really make a difference in the lives of others?
Why not leave a real legacy for your family so they never have to worry about financial problems yet they still have the skills to create wealth when they want to?
Is it because we don’t think we can do it?
I think so.
I know that’s a blanket statement and yes there are Mom Millionaires out there but why do mom’s say they only want a little extra money to cover the bills?
I mean, let’s give you an example:
- What if you could do what you absolutely love for ‘extra’ money, put in a few hours and make a LOT of money for doing it. Would you still prefer to just make a ‘little’ because you don’t need the extra money?
Who doesn’t want tons of financial security, extra money in the bank, retirement paid for and all the money they need for their kids education?
Of course money isn’t everything but having a lot of money isn’t a bad thing either. It allows you to do those things you want to do, not worry about bills and really live the life you want to.
Wasn’t it Wayne Gretsky who said “You miss 100% of the shots you never take” ?
C’mon Moms, let’s dream big!
I am dreaming big!
I always wonder too why more moms say they are just looking to pay the bills or they say I don’t want to make a ton. Why in the world wouldn’t you want to be financially free so you could live the life you really want. I would love to be able to travel and help in countries that need it and give to charity on a regular basis. Plus of course I have my own personal things I want to accomplish.
As for bringing hubby home, I’m not sure he’s for that. He loves what he does BUT I would love for him to have that option if here were to choose it in the future.
Love the quote. I’m going to take some shots this week!
What a great post. I’m off to Twitter it now.
Awesome Angie!
You know I do understand that as moms our #1 priority is our kids and family and sometimes that makes it a lot harder because obviously we’re not superwoman BUT I do also think aiming too low is a problem.
So I’d rather try to create a 10 million dollar business and end up with a 100k/yr biz then try for ‘just enough to pay the bills’ and not make enough to pay the bills
/rant over – LOL!
