Dear Ron and Everyone Else Here,

First of all, great thread with excellent thought evoking discussion. Believe me, in order to get my typing prior to 6 am it MUST be! (19 month old Sam is teething and woke me up about 90 minutes ago. I decided I might as well stay awake now!!)

Secondly, I wanted to comment on what Ron had to add about saying "NO!" and in my case its about attracting clients who will say "YES!" to who I am as a business owner.

Being awake in the wee hours with Sam is a great example.

I am a Mompreneur, first and foremost.

This December I took Sam out of the home daycare he was in because it just was not suiting my needs at all. Seeing as the school vacation would be upon us three weeks into the month, I decided to just work around Sam's schedule and needs as well as my girls once they came home for the holiday.

I purposefully attract clients who are comfortable and have full knowledge that as a Mother-with-Young-Children who is also an home based entrepreneur I may have more tangles with my time than the average person without little ones about them throughout the work day.

Instead of seeing this as a liability, I see it as an asset. I get to work with people who "get me" and value what I am up to and vice versa.

One of my newest clients said to me: "Julie, just listening to you talk about how you set up your business...your LIFE inspired me!"

Not that it is perfection 24/7....I just have created a way that works for me.

Thanks again, Dien, for starting the thread and for everyone else who has participated thus far.

With Passion and Purpose,

Julie Jordan Scott
