Every Mother's Challenge Three mothers in Pennsylvania have successfully built their own businesses and found that they were able to balance their home life with their employment so much more easily when they started their own businesses. One of the mothers, a cake decorator, runs her own business and loves the flexibility it gives her. "Cathy Reppert carefully placed butter cream roses on a fresh-baked cake, the finishing touches on the last Truly Scrumptious order of the week." "Reppert's sugary masterpeice was for a Friday night event, but by the time the party guests would indulge in the custom-made cake,the Kingston woman would be enjoying the sights and sounds of Cleveland. "My daughter is in a jazz band that's performing at the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame and we're leaving at 5.am Friday" Reppert said. "Because of this business, I'm able to be a chaperone. If I worked for someone else I might not be able to go". The freedom to set you own hours in your own business is truly amazing. You may have to work late some times and from time to time but then you can block out several days at a time if you wish to have a break or need the time for a special event. In the meantime happy cake decorating Sigrid Gangsoy |
