Work - at - Home Moms Application

It has been placed on my heart to write a book about work-at-home moms, and I would like to enlist 11 other women to walk on this journey with me.  Until you have been approved to be one of the 11 other women to walk on this journey, I cannot give you the full details, as they are at this time confidential.  I promise you this though, it will be an amazing journey, and at the end of this, you will have a group of women who will be your advocates, supporters, and most of all your friends.  As well, as you will get a lot of shameless promoting.  My ultimate goal is Oprah :)

I can tell you that we will be talking a lot about our experiences as work-at-home moms.  We will meet once a week for 1 - 1/2 hours lives via voice computer chat room, as well as hold text chats via a chat group like Yahoo or something similar to discuss additional topics, or just to have friendly conversation.

If you want to join this journey, please fill out the application below.  Applications will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.  If you qualify, you will be contacted with all of the details.  Please note, we will be accepting at the most, 2 people from each business type, with the goal of really having only 1 from each type of business.  This is so your shameless promoting will not conflict with other's shameless promotion.

To qualify you must fit the following criteria:

1. Work from home a minimum of 30 hours/week.  (You do not have to own the business that you are working for, but you must meet the minimum hours, and you must complete your work at home.)

2. Have children or have had children at home while you work the minimum number of hours.  (If your children are no longer at home, but you worked while they were at home, you still may qualify!  We will look to you for your expertise on survival!)

3. You must have started your business be the sole-caregiver to your children. Meaning, you did not have a nanny, have them in childcare, or have their father home full-time caring for them.  (If you have this in place now, you may still qualify, as long as when you originally started your business, you started it while also caring for them full-time.)

4. You must be able to make the scheduled meeting times listed in the application below.  (One planned absence is okay, but more than that, and it can detract from your contribution to the group.)

5. You need to have a microphone and earpiece that works with your computer.  I got a very inexpensive one at Walmart that works as a headset.  We will be having our conversations via a tool on our computer where we talk live with one another.  This will help eliminate the cost of long distance calls. 

6. We will also be using a private chat group to communicate during the week, so you must have an email address and high speed internet connection (high-speed is crucial to our live discussions).

7. You will need to agree to keep everything we talk about confidential, as well as the details of the book confidential.

8. You will also need to sign a release that everything we talk about is the property of Patty Benton, and you give her permission to use anything said via our live talks or our email chats in the book.

9. You will also need to agree to allow her to use your first name and state in the book.  Including last names will be up to each individual.

10. You will also need to agree that you will not write a book on a similar topic for a minimum of 1 year after the publication of this book.

Thank you, and I look forward to getting to know you and creating an amazing journey together!

IMPORTANT: In order to qualify for this unique opportunity, you must complete each field.  Failure to complete each question fully, may result in your application being disqualified.  Thank you!

Upon receipt of your application, if you qualify, I will set up a time to talk with you.  If someone in your industry has already qualified, I will put you on the wait list, and if they are not able to fulfill the commitment, I will contact in order of applications received.  You WILL be notified of your status, whether you qualify, are on the wait list, or do not qualify.  Thank you, I am excited about this journey and the friendships that we will forge!
